Joe's Post Stroke Medical Expenses

Irwin Joeseph Milesko is a kind hearted, giving father, husband and veteran who suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke on January 2nd, 2017. The cause of his stroke, which has only recently come to light, was due to his body producing an abnormally high amount of a hormone that makes him retain sodium. This experience brought him close to death and left him in a hospital for five months in the intensive care and rehabilitation units. He was recently discharged to his home in Minnesota and is facing many financial obstacles that he and his loving wife needs help with, including:
·         Ambulance bill
·         3-4 months of lost work time for Joe's wife Elizabeth (who has been at his side every day!)
·         Modifications to their house to allow basic wheelchair access
·         Follow up therapy expenses (PT/OT/Speech/Vision)
·         Future medical expenses (surgery to eliminate the root cause of Joe's high blood pressure)
