Hatch family tragedy

2020 was the worst year for most people. So much loss, of loved ones and livelihood and it was nothing that should’ve ever happened. I am sending this out for my aunt, uncle and cousins. On august 5th of 2020, my aunt Linda and uncle Bobby lost their youngest son, Izzy. My cousin’s (Shayna, Joel and Nico) lost their youngest brother…he was only 24. To try to explain the heartbreak and agony they were and are going through is nothing I want to ever experience. I can only imagine. It’s crushing. Gut wrenching. How could you go on…?
Not even 7 months later (March 31, 2021), my aunt Linda was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. How could this be possible? How could one family lose a son/brother and (quite possibly) a wife/mother in less than a year? My uncle and cousin’s have been doing everything in their power to care for my aunt. Still dealing, not healing, with the fresh pain from Izzy’s loss, they’re now trying to care for my aunt who is riddled with painful (visible) tumors from head to toe. Round the clock caring for her while trying their hardest to make ends meet. Dr’s appointments are having to be delayed due to insurance bureaucracy…while time is of the essence. These are the best people that would do anything for anyone at the drop of a hat and THIS is what they get? “Undeserving” is an understatement. She finally went through radiation and began chemotherapy. Hopes were a tiny bit higher. However, she stopped eating and drinking. On Thursday, June 10th, she was admitted to the hospital where they immediately hooked her up to an IV. As hospital protocol goes, they tested her for COVID, and sure enough she tested positive. They also tested my uncle and my cousin and they have it as well. Now my aunt is in the hospital alone (no family by her side), in agonizing pain and unable to take any pain relievers due to low blood pressure and the rest of her immediate family is at home (with COVID) unable to do anything at this point.
To make a long point a little less long…at this point, they are now struggling financially, trying to pay medical bills and make ends meet, all while mentally, emotionally and physically trying to cope with the devastation of everything that is being thrown their way.
Please donate anything if possible and please SHARE this if nothing else. They are the most loving and incredible family that deserve the world! Thank you so much! ❤️
