Hello, My name is Nicholas Alam. Last night at about 4 am, my older brother Joseph was rushed to the hospital due to him suffering a stroke, he has been in the ICU since then. The doctors have found a blood clot in his brain and have ordered many tests to try and resolve the issue, the severity of this situation has only increased as the doctors continue to search for why this all occurred. He is sedated, intubated, and also restrained to the bed due to him having a difficult sezuire. He is intubated due to him not being able to protect his own airway, so the hosptial had to resort to medically protecting his airway.

His family, including our mother and his wife, have been by his side since the incident but have run into many problems. One of them being, that the insurance is only covering 40% of the ICU bill, the family is expected to pay the other 60%. My brother and his wife recently had a newborn baby, my brother is a proud father of 3, and his children are wondering if their daddy is going to be ok. If they have to pay this medical bill it will be a huge financial blow to their family. These funds would help them cover the hospital bills and help them tremendously, It would mean the world to our family if we could have your for help.

Update: thank you all so much for so many of your donations, and going nearly 4 thousand dollars over the limit!, my brother's family is overjoyed with the results of this gofundme, and are truly grateful for each and everyone of you for donating.
