Help John and Crystal with medical expenses
Donation protected
Hi, this GoFundMe is for John and Crystal McAninch; to help them with medical expenses as they have both recently had to have surgery - one was planned and has happened, another is scheduled for the near future, the third was unexpected emergency surgery.
John had surgery on his shoulder and bicep at the end of June. It was extensive and he's been unable to get back to work during this time. Being self-employed, as he is, hasn't provided benefits while being off work and it will be another three months before he will be able to get back to the work he does, he installs flooring which we all know is very labor intensive. In July, he received an injection in his back as he has had ongoing issues with back, and the injection failed. At the next doctors visit in August, he was informed the next step would be surgery which was scheduled to happen in October. The hope is to fix the long-standing, worsening issues with his back and will keep him off work for another 6-8 months. This creates an immense struggle in John as he is the main provider for the family and he takes his position very seriously. During this time, Crystal has been working in order to help keep things above water financially.
August 29th, Crystal had to have an unexpected emergency surgery to remove an internal hernia which ended up being more extensive and intrusive and she had to have some of her intestines removed as well. This created an extended hospital stay and when she was finally discharged and after she got home, the incision began leaking and she had to go back in and was admitted again while they found the cause which was infection behind the incision. Crystal's recovery is expected to take 6-8 weeks and she is unsure at this point when she will be able to go back to work. She does have some benefits through her employer but at a drastically reduced rate and won't cover much of the medical costs that are to come from all of this.
John and Crystal have strong work ethics, are good providers for their family and know that the financial struggles are going to be seriously difficult for a season. It is a hard blow to every aspect of their lives and they will be appreciative for any amount of help anyone is willing to give... from prayers to financial donations.
