Mary's medical fund

Well this is an ongoing story that started 9 years ago. Mary Catherine (Quinn) Trautmann is a survivor of 5 strokes , a broken hip , diabetes, high blood pressure,  various low potassium passing out incidents and Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome. It has eventually led to now where her and her husband Eric Trautmann are sruggling to keep their heads above water. While attending her bridal shower Mary suffered two strokes and has little recollection of that time and to make a Long story shorter she managed to leave the hospital and eventualy the physical therapy facility 5 days before the wedding and actualy was able to dance her first dance with her new husband but spent the rest of the evening in her chair. She had her final dress fitting in the hospital , but later they had to change some things because she had a pic line inserted into her heart and her now husband had to bring centerpieces to her room for final approval. Fast forward a few months and two more strokes later and another long stay in the hospital and rehab facility .Then surgery to help control her diabetes and PCOS after which she suffered a fifth stroke. Two years ago while trying to be independent Mary took a tumble that ended with a broken hip. So surgery to completely replace her hip she now suffers from chronic pain and instability. Luckily (?) this was on her already weakened side from the strokes.  Then she was hospitalized once again with low potasium that has been linked to all of her other co-morbitities. Her husband has been a real estate broker for over a decade and had to close his Exit Realty brokerage down so as to be able to act as primary caregiver for Mary. This has led to a reduction in their income by 70 percent as disability only accounts for 48 percent of their previous household income. Losing their life savings clearing up her mother's estate and final expenses when her life insurance had lapsed made it tough to catch back up. Itwas suggested when starting this pledge drive to keep it simple and maybe list what help they need or how you can help. So in order of importance
1. Financial Assistance to help catch up their mortgage and loan remodification/bankruptcy.
2. Assistance with general bills and groceries
3. A second used vehicle pick up truck preferred for side work
4. A prayer a smile
5. A visit to give Eric the opportunity to spend time working and not have to worry about Mary being injured like the 4 hours she laid on the ground alone after breaking her hip
5. Girls nights out
