Help Tim Recover from Unexpected Surgery

If you know my husband Tim, you know he’s a very dedicated, blue collar hard working man. He never misses a day regardless of how he is feeling unless he is absolutely forced to.

He works for a terrific small company who treats their employees well and he loves what he does. He works so hard for our family and he’s been the main provider for the last two years while I work very part time, slowly build my business, work towards my new career and raise our babies.

Unfortunately he’s been facing some sudden and unexpected health concerns that has altered his way of life. He will now need to have surgery to remove part of his colon come June 13th. The urgency of this surgery on top of the diagnosis he received was very unexpected.

With surgery comes up to 6+ weeks recovery time where he will need to be out of work (unpaid), it could be more depending on if they find anything additionally. He will be admitted to the hospital following surgery and he will need around the clock care once he’s home during those 6 weeks.. ( I will be taking care of him myself once he’s home)

We are in process of looking at short term disability but you all know how long that process can take.

Tim was admitted for four days back in March with a bad infection, colon perforation and a new diagnosis. He then had to go to the ER last month again for a bad flare up. He already has $7,000 + in medical bills from what his insurance did not cover, we know looking ahead there will be more.

Tim is pushing through and working up to the week of surgery and will be eager to get back to work once he is healed.

Aside from Tim going through all of this, our middle son, Eli has recently been dealing with a few different medical concerns and he will need surgery on his abdomen later this year as well.

This time has been a bit stressful and has come at us all at once.

Funds will go towards living expenses and any medical supplies he needs while he is out of work as well as towards the medical bills.

It’s hard to ask for help as we know this economy is affecting everyone around us, but please know that if you are able to help support us in any way during his recovery, we are extremely grateful.
