Help the Rudd family pay Steve’s ER hospital bills

Hello, my name is Bailey. I’m the daughter of Steve. My brother Dane and I have organized this GoFundMe to assist our parents with this financial hardship. Steve was admitted to the ER early on the morning of 8/19 with extreme lower-right quadrant pain, which turned out to be a severely perforated appendix. He went into emergency surgery and had his appendix removed; he also began treatment for a raging infection. He had vomiting and a fever a few days prior and had to miss three days of work, which will now be much longer. Since the nearest hospital is a Ballad Health facility, a monopoly over northeast Tennessee healthcare, the bill is going to be astronomical without insurance. Any amount will help. Thank you in advance.
