Jay Robertson's Medical Debt

Donation protected
I am Jay Robertson's sister and we recently had to share the devastating news that Jay passed away on December 4th, 2023 while on vacation with family. While Jay had 3 different types of health insurance, his death occured in a different country and a lot of his bills will not be covered. We discovered one of his credit cards was charged to cover part of the nearly $25,000 emergency bill on the cruiseship. It sounds like his cremation and transport back to the USA is covered by the international insurance he had purchased before our trip, so that helps. We must wait for his death certificate to arrive from Colombia before we can begin the process to see if his main insurance will cover any of the massive bill from his stay in the Cartagena, Colombia ICU. We will be fixing up his home to sell to cover as much medical & credit card debt as possible, but we will also have expenses with all of the materials needed to remodel his home as well as continuing to pay his lot rent. It needs new flooring, fixing 2 bathrooms, and finishing 2 bedrooms. It is difficult being in a situation where we feel we need to ask for help, but after assessing his financial situation, our family feels it is necessary. Thank you for sharing and donating if you can. Funeral arrangements are still pending, but will likely be in January.
