Support Nathan's Heart Recovery Journey

Most people know that I hate to ask for help, but we are in a position where I have no choice.

On April 19th, Nathan went to the hospital for chest pains. It turns out he was having a heart attack. They admitted him for a cardiac cath to be done on Monday. We were all thinking a stent would be needed and he would be released quickly. That was not the case. He had to have double bypass heart surgery on April 22nd. The surgery went very well, and he was released from the hospital 7 days later.

We found out while he was in the hospital that he will have to be off work for at least three months, and he does not have short-term disability coverage. Luckily, he had enough bank hours to cover most of his time off and our health insurance premiums, but those hours have now run out. We still don’t know when he will be going back to work.

To make things worse, I drive a school bus and am now off for the summer with no pay. Luckily, I already had a summer job lined up, but it is not enough to cover all our bills for the next two months, let alone make a dent in the hospital bills that are flowing in.

I appreciate any and all help.
