Jim Bane's stroke/medical and financial fund
Donation protected
On December 22, 2018, Jim suffered a massive stroke. He had fallen on the ice after our first snow around Thanksgiving and hit is head. This caused his brain to slowly begin to swell and bleed without our knowledge and lead to a massive headache on the 22nd. I noticed he couldn't even walk from this headache, so I called an ambulance. We were all in shock when the results of his head scan came back and showed massive bleeding on the left side of his brain.
To our surprise there had been an error made by the insurance company and they had cancelled our insurance so therefore, he was uninsured at this time. He was taken directly into Intensive Care where he stayed through Christmas and the New Year. Because of the insurance issue, the amount of time he spent in the ICU, and the care he received, the enormous costs associated with this care have totaled an amount that I never thought I would see in my life.
Jim is the sole support of our household. He is unable to work and therefore is not receiving any type of income whatsoever. We have exhausted all of our resources including our savings and Jim's retirement!
He is still at home and continuing with treatment and therapy, but until then he will be unable to return to work anytime soon. Because of this we are reaching to our friends and family for any help we can receive. Please share this with your friends and family too.
Anything will be greatly appreciated more than you know. We thank you in advance for your help, and may god bless you and keep you safe.
