Help Us Stay by Our Partner's Side in Hospital
Donation protected
I have been with my partner for 5 years now. He is the first man to ever really see me or make me feel safe. He is also the acknowledged Dad to my son who he loves, but did not create. Unfortunately fate has dealt us a difficult hand, health wise. He has muscular dystrophy, specifically LGMD2i (limb girdle). This is a chronic and degenerative disease. He is currently hospitalized and has been for the past few weeks. We don't know when he will be home. The hospital isn't really equipped to give him the care he needs, being stuck out of his wheelchair for this long. So his other partner and I are taking turns being there to help adjust him etc so he is as comfortable as possible. He also can't speak right now due to a trach tube, so having an advocate there is important. Ubers and parking are very expensive and aren't validated. Food is also expensive when you have to buy all your meals. So I'm fund rasing. I've been avoiding this, but several people have asked how they can help and this is how. Giftcards for Uber are also greatly appreciated or feel free to reach out for my cash app. All funds raised will be used for food so we can stay with him, Uber, and for items to make his room and him/us as comfortable as possible until he can come home. For anyone who has stayed in a hospital you already know how uncomfortable and sterile they are especially long term. Thank you in advance for reading and sharing.
