Donation protected

David and Mary Anne Crockett, My parents have been Married 40 years but have been a couple for 48 yrs. My Dad ,David, but most of his friends call him Davy is a professional drummer husband and father. He became a sucessful drummer and has toured the world with many famous people. My dad has been playing drums since he could bea on pots and pans, and has played music as a career most of his life. He has a strong passion for it and wants to teach people who love it but dont know how to be able to play the music this world needs. My dad has been fightiing sickness for a while. And being a musician you dont have insurance or retirement. So he has always put his health last to my moms because she always has had bad health. so now my dad is suffering from diabeties that is really threating to take hislimbs. We have had many close calls thank God he still is in one piece. He also has an infected heart valve, and a few other things. he recently had open heart surgery and had 5  arteries either cleaned or moved. He now has an insision from his groin to his ankle. And has been slowly recovering from this. WE have many doctors appointments and meds that needto be paid for and no insurance to help pay for either. We have been getting what is more important as far as meds and trying to make payment arrangements for doctors or selling or pawning stuff to make it happen.
My mom had suffered 3 heart attacks in the past 10 years that caused her to have to retire early and collect disability. When we receieved her first check she was in tears on the amount that they expected her to live off of. Considering that my dad has no income no disability no insurance it is gonn be a tough road to be able to live and pay outta pocket for all the doctors medz N supplys that are needed .
So my husband, Me and kids moved into a bigger apt so they could move in as well,  because we needed to live together to be able to afford everything.
Well recently my dad, David got an Infecting in his foot due to diabetic issues. We took him to hospital only to find out that he had 5 clogged arteries and had to have immediate surgery.
Dad,David has diabeties and infected heart valve, carpeol tunnel and arthristis and has had many complications leading to almost loosing limbs. We have even had a few surgeries that were needed to make sure he could keep all his parts especially his leg. But now he has an incession from his groin to his ankle from having Arteries unclogged and moved actually. Dad has no kind of income or insurance and the doctors visits alonne run any where from $130-300....depending on the type of visit it is and that doesnt include labs xrays ext. And then there is his medications that I have to sometimes buy by what is more important instead of all of them because thats what we can afford, but we try.....
My mom on the other hand bas a pretty long medical history 3 heart attacks, one stroke, COPD emphysema, heart disease, high blood pressure, and Thats just the beginning. Recently mom wasnt feeling well so we went to ER and found out that she had a brain aneurysm. But what we also found out is they knew this 2 years ago and didn't tell her when they found it on her xray!!!!. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED HER  AT ANYPOINT. THE dotor at the hospital was very upset and offered his apologies but it's  not enough.  A day later we found out from her primary doctor that she has Thyroid Cancer. She has to take a radiation pill and that is a new way to go thru Chemo....and we are currently going thru that now and once that is over in a weeks time the we go in for brain surgery that Im being told will change her personality for ever. When we found out that she had the brain anurism..mom and dad donot even have the money to support them selves two weeks out of the month let alone all of this medical stuff. And Charles and I try our hardest to take care of everyone but since Charles had the wreck at work that totaled his car and injured himself we have no vehicle to drive them around we have to pay for rides or ask some one or we walk miles to get to store or pharmacy. But we will do what ever it takes.
My friends and family Im asking that you help us get the money together to help.pay for future medical expenses, perscriptions, bills and food. And biggest to get a family car so that we dont have to worry anymore how we are going to take care of all these appointments treatments and be able to ease there minds on how they are gonna get where they need to be.
Thank you for your time. And just know we love all of our friends and Family and We greatly appreciate any contribution how ever big or small it is going to change our lives for ever. And make my parents more comfortable with the time they have left. i dont want them to be suffering thru what time they have left with us how ever long it may be. Recentyou Dad has had a stroke and isn't recovering well at all. I just hope he makes ito thru his surgery and mom's because mom won't make it with out dad. Prayers you guys and any donations that can be made that you can send we are greatful...thank you
God Bless yall and Thank you so much....One Love..........Lindsey
