I am making this gofundme page asking for help paying medical bills for my son, daughter-in-law, Tim and Rachel, and my grandsons Timothy and Jack, who are both non-verbal autistic. For several years Rachel continually got kidney infections, was told she had an infection, and given antibiotics. Things would clear up for a while, then get bad again. Tim works third shift and sleeps some throughout the day while Rachel took care of the boys and house. She always put others before herself and worked through the pain she had. It got so bad that this year that she was under 100 lbs, couldn't eat, could barely move any longer. The culmination was a diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyeloneph.ritis (XGP) that destroyed the kidney due to a "staghorn calculus" larger than a golf ball. She was denied medicaid and the cost of raising two boys with special needs didn't allow them to be able to buy insurance. This was life threatening so surgery removed the kidney. However, the cost of 5 hospitalizations, tests, IV antibiotics and surgery has left them with medical bills that currently total $108,000. Any help that could come from the kindness and generosity of others would be greatly appreciated. I love them all very much.
