My name is Monica and I want to thank you for caring enough to read this! I am doing this GoFundMe to help my daughter’s friend Austin Duncan. Austin is currently in the hospital battling a severe case of pneumonia. It’s surprising to hear about someone with severe pneumonia with all of the antibiotic options that exist today. The reality is that Austin doesn’t have health insurance and he lost his job about a month ago. Without the safety net of health care and without any money to spare, Austin did what many Americans are forced to do in similar situations. He waited and hoped that whatever he had would go away on its own. After a month of worsening fevers and now pain, my daughter and her friends forced Austin to go to the emergency room. This is a sweet, caring, hard working young man who has had to deal with more challenges than someone his age should ever have to face. My daughter and her friends are Austin’s only family and right now, I know he has lost all hope. Please, I’ve never done a GoFundMe but I have supported many. Let’s show this young man that God is always with us and he will get through this because he is NOT alone. Anything you can give will be a blessing for him. In advance, thank you for reading, for helping if you can, and for sharing this with others that might be able to help.
