Medical expenses for Donnie Cress

I'm raising funds on behalf of my dad, who is currently at UTMB with pneumonia and heart failure. He was admitted on 9/13 and is already feeling some better today, 9/14, with lots of IV medication.

He hasn't been able to work consistently for the past few weeks while trying to figure out why he has felt so bad, and we don't know how long it will take for him to recover and possibly return to work.

He already lives on a tight income, and the medical bills will be piling up shortly. He is on Medicare, so we (my sister Mindy Loya and I) need to cover his deductible, expenses for medical equipment and home care once he's out of the hospital. We really don't know how much this will be.

(American healthcare: every twist and turn is an exciting mystery!)

Thank you!
