Please Help My Brother

Hello, my name is Tory, and I'm raising money for Clem, my older brother. Nearly 8 years ago, my brother relocated to Bismarck, North Dakota. He has been working nonstop to provide for his family. He took on two jobs working day and night, and is gradually rebuilding his life. Sometimes even walking two miles through snowstorms wearing shoes with holes in them to just get to work. He’s worked hard for what he has and is still willing to give the next guy the clothes off his back. Clem has always been a father figure in my life, and now he has his own children that look up to him. He’s always been there to either lend a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, or a helping hand. And no matter what, he’ll have you laughing by the end of any conversation. It doesn’t matter who you are or what trouble you’re in, he’s the guy you always want in your corner.

He took a family camping trip to Minnesota a month ago and the mosquitoes attacked his legs. When he got back to North Dakota he noticed the swelling on his ankle. He went to the clinic and got antibiotics, but they didn’t work as planned. Even through all of it, he continued to work and go about his day to day life with his family. When it became unbearable he decided to go to the hospital. His ankle had become infected with two different kinds of bacteria and was swollen three times its normal size. The doctors told him if he waited another two days they would have had to amputate his foot. He’s currently in the hospital, he’s had one surgery already but will have another to remove more of the infected tissue and the infection itself. He’s lying in the hospital, worried about his family and his job. He won’t be able to work or help out with his family for an estimated two months. So being the little sister I’m doing everything I can to try to help, but I know the bills will pile up. Any and all donations will go toward covering his medical costs and help support his family so that Clem can concentrate on his recovery rather than worrying about money. He is the person we can always count on to be there to help with everything. Now I know he needs help. So anything is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
