Hospitalized couple with Covid-19 in need

Donation protected
On August 14th, my parents life drastically changed. Rebel, my father, was admitted into ICU for covid related conditions. He had only not been feeling well for two days. He went to go get a covid test, instead of a test he was taken by ambulance and admitted into the hospital for extremly low oxygen levels.    On August 15th, Jackie, my mother, who had received a positive covid test result on the 12th after being tested on the 8th for mild symptoms reached out to urgent care due to not being able to catch her breathe. When they did an exam she was also taken by ambulance and admitted to the hospital for low oxygen levels.    They are both currently still admitted into the hospital. Jackie has had some ups and downs since she arrived. She has required non stop oxygen, a wide variety of medications including remdesivir, and plasma. She is currently making good progress and hopefully will be strong enough to go home soon.     Rebel is having a harder time. When he was admitted he went directly into ICU. He has also had some good days and bad days. Rebel is currently on a high amount of oxygen via a bipap mask, on a wide variety of medications including remdesivir, and has recived plasma twice. He is currently fighting for his life daily. The team of nurses and Drs that are treating him are working hard to get his lungs stronger.  My Dad is a strong man and I know he has the fight in him to make it through this.     Its going to be a long tough road to recovery for them both. While I ask for your positive thoughts, vibes, words, and prayers more then anything I'm also reaching out for some financial help. If you know my parents or myself this is most definitely not something we know how to ask for, nor do we ever.    My parents are a paycheck to paycheck family. My Mom was put on disability a few years ago due to a leg injury. She takes care of their home and helps out financially where she can but her income resourses are limited. Prior to being put on disability she always worked hard and provided financially. My Dad has always been an extremely hard working guy and has always mantained a 40+ hr a week job. He also volunteeres for CASA helping out kids who are going through a hard time and has been running AA/NA meetings ever since I can remember. He recently received his 30yr chip! He is consistently helping others. With both of them still being in the hospital my dad is unfortunately without a paycheck and the bills keep coming in. Yes, my Mom will still be reciving her disability check but it's not even enough to cover their rent! On top of their rent there is also electric, water, insurance, phone bills, car payments, and daily day to day expenses that are needed to be paid.     While this is by far the hardest situation I have an to endure I am doing everything I can possible for them. My husband and I are trying our best but our finances are exhusted as well.    At this time there is no way for us to know how long my Dad will be out of work. They could use the support right now. Even if its $1, $5, $100, or any amount you can spare.    Please, please, please keep my parents in your thoughts and prayers and if you can please help support them. Every thought and cent won't go unappreciated, that I can promise.
