Just a Dad wanting to be around for my children

Donation protected
I'm just a Dad, brother, and son. In January, I got extremely ill. Internal bleeding, liver failure, kidney failure; a procedure made my heart basically stop. When Crystal, the kids, and I were told that I needed to make plans in March, my family flew to Montana, and the doctors said 24-96 hours. I signed all the waivers and got on a flight to California, leaving everything in Montana. The diagnosis cirrhosis and end stage liver disease. After Loma Linda University took my case I have Smooth Muscle Antibodies autoimmune disease. SSI on average takes 230 days to review and process. I have a roof over my head and was able to fly my children down from Bozeman for a month this summer but with a “terminal disease and no work” order from the doctors means no current income. Room and board for just the first hospital visit was over $100k. I was in 3 different locations. Yes, I had insurance, but this doesn't cover anything close to what will be coming in. I'm fundraising to cover the overwhelming medical expenses that my insurance doesn't cover. This fundraiser is for me and my family as we navigate this challenging time.
