Hello everyone,

My name is Rob Ingrim, and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a humble request for help. My family and I are currently overwhelmed with medical bills, and we desperately need your support to get through this challenging time.

I have been battling polycythemia, a rare type of blood cancer, for several years. This condition has led to severe complications, requiring me to undergo nine major surgeries. The surgeries have included splenic embolization procedures to manage the excessive production of red blood cells and other related complications. Each surgery has been crucial for my survival, but they have also taken a significant toll on our finances.

Despite our best efforts to manage the financial burden, the costs continue to rise with each treatment, hospital stay, and follow-up appointment. We have exhausted our savings, maxed out credit cards, and even taken out loans, but it still isn’t enough.

In addition to the overwhelming medical expenses, we are struggling to cover basic necessities. Rent and food have become significant concerns, and we are facing the real possibility of being unable to keep a roof over our heads or put food on the table.

Throughout all of this, Jessica and I have been working full time doing instacart to support my family. However, due to my most recent procedure, I am unable to function for the next few months, further exacerbating our financial struggles.

My family and I are doing everything we can to stay afloat, but we need help. Asking for assistance is incredibly difficult for us, but we have no other option. Your generosity would provide immense relief, allowing us to focus on my health and recovery without the constant stress of financial strain.

Here is a breakdown of the medical challenges we are facing:

• 9 Surgeries: Including multiple splenic embolization procedures to manage complications from polycythemia.

• Ongoing Treatments: Regular treatments and medications to keep the condition under control.

• Hospital Stays: Frequent hospital admissions due to complications and necessary monitoring.

• Specialist Visits: Continuous follow-ups with oncologists and hematologists to manage my condition.

We understand that times are tough for many people, and any amount you can contribute will make a significant difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing our story with others who might be able to help would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity during this challenging time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rob
