Support for Jean While Fred Recovers

Donation protected
Our names are Alice and Melinda, and we're raising funds to support our mom, Jean, while our dad, Fred, is in the hospital recovering from multiple emergency surgeries. On May 15th, Fred had to undergo emergency surgery for a small bowel blockage, which led to several additional surgeries. He's still in the hospital, on a ventilator to help him breathe, and we don't know when he'll be able to come home. The doctors have told us that we are lucky he made it past the critical 72-hour mark, but it's going to be a journey of one step forward and three steps back.

During this difficult time, our mom is trying to keep up with everyday expenses. She is focused on supporting him and our family, and it's been a real struggle to cover bills, buy groceries, and pay for transportation to and from the hospital. Every little bit helps us keep things stable while Fred recovers.

Your support will go directly toward helping Jean manage household bills, put food on the table, and make sure she can visit Fred in the hospital. It will also help with any other medical or home improvements he might need to aid his recovery process. We're grateful for any help you can give as we work through this challenging time together.
