My dad has kidney failure and money is tight
Donation protected
Hi my name is Delilah and I'm trying to help fundraise money to help my parents pay bills.
My father about 3 years ago suffered from blood clots, then about a year later he suffered a stroke, and now a few years later he got diagnosed with kidney failure. His kidneys are completely non functioning and he does dialysis at home every day. My dad had to quit his job and my mom can't get one because she's too busy taking care of him. He also has been suffering from neuropathy ever since he got sick which makes it incredibly painful for him to walk or go places. It's been really hard having to watch his wavering health over the years and waking up in the mornings to find out he was in the hospital again. I remember there was a time when he was first diagnosed with kidney failure that he was in the hospital for weeks at a time and he'd come home for one day and then right back in the hospital the next. And when he finally came home and stood, hearing him throw up every single night before I went to bed. He threw up so much that the acid reflux caused tears in his throat and one day he vomited what my mom described as pure blood, and it was everywhere as if it was a crime scene.
We've been honestly living off of sheer luck and kindness from the people closest to us but I'm really scared about not having enough money and I'm not sure how much longer our luck will last. I'd love to be able to help them in some way and any ammount of money would help. Please, I really just wanna help my parents stop stressing, it's so painful to watch and I just want us to not worry about money just for a little bit. So if it's even just a dollar I truly appreciate it. And if you have nothing to give please just keep us in your thoughts. Thank you so much.
