Master Kang Rhee's medical expense

Donation protected
This is an unusual request, but my family needs a little support from our friends and family. In the last five years, we have dealt with a very challenging circumstance---my father was diagnosed with aggressive cerebellum degeneration and dementia.   This year his condition took turn for the worse, requiring us to place him in a skilled nursing home.  Because he could not qualify for Medicaid, he was charged $14,000 for his stay at the skilled nursing home. My father's term life insurance lapsed last year, and we exhausted the little bit of savings he had on his medical cost.  

We do not want to impose on other people, but I would like to have lessen the financial burden on my grieving mother who has a fixed modest monthly income (with a mortgage), and let her enjoy her remaining years debt free. In addition, I am over-stretched financially due to supporting two college students--his two granddaughters--on our single family income.

My father was a very giving person his entire life, including raising thousands of dollars for St. Jude, his church, as well as many of his friends, students, and strangers. I do not want anyone to over burden themselves, but if you can, please consider donating.  Any small amount will be greatly appreciated, and would lift my grieving mother's spirits.

Sincerely,

Yong Rhee
