Urgent Help for Drew and His Autistic Brother Shane

Hello, I'm Drew Dahlen,I'm the guy in the middle of the picture.like most of us I've had troubles in my life,from early medical issues.I almost lost my leg to scarlet fever when I had chicken pocks as a kid(chicken pock blew up in my calf muscle and was deteriorating my muscle twisting my leg),to watching my father fade and die from cancer when I was 13, recurring urinary tract infections and kidney stones in my late teens.my brother is 2 years younger than me and has autism, I am now his sole caregiver since my mother's sudden death in 2023 from a severe stroke,and I had to remove her from a ventilator she could pass on.before my mother's death, I was experiencing severe pain in my back but shrugged it off due to my jobs in construction and landscaping, chalking it up to hard work and being a skinnier smaller guy than most on the job.we had recently moved to Tennessee from Florida to get away from the hustle and bustle we grew up in,and my mother was still having health issues, although she seemed on the mend and doctors always said she was doing well.while dealing with all the things that comes with a parents death, trying to better learn how to care for my brother,and maintaining my first home(bought by me and my mother in 2019)I pushed my pain and care further into the background. December of 2024 it became too much.I had been experiencing debilitating lay on the ground and shake while vomiting symptoms for a couple months.I had good days and bad days,so on a very bad day, I conceded and had my girlfriend Sky take me the E.R..I had lost my ability to work physically and could barely make time to go get groceries for the family.enough was enough, I dont have medical insurance but was ready to pay(I had savings that I was playing smart with),thinking there could be payments or that it would be reasonable.after all,the the state I was in was no help to my family so I had to do something.I was very surprised to find out it was an impassable kidney stone I've had for 3 years or more,but pleased thinking the procedure might not be to overwhelming or too costly.I was wrong, which I'm sure is not a surprise to most folks who have dealt with US healthcare often or recently.I have an ultrasonic procedure on the 8th of January that will hopefully deal with the stone, help get me back to work,and spending more time with the ones I love.to say it's costly is an understatement, and it will probably wipe out my savings due to the fact of charges I cannot forsee during the procedure.I have been given a bill, that if paid in full,will give me a 2000$+ discount but may still have charges later they cannot state to me now.(Their words,not mine).I've hardly asked for help in my life with money much,even from my parents and never from friends or relatives,and have always endeavored to charge folks cheaply when I've rendered work and services..I am now very worried I will have to sell our home, and possibly re-home my brother(which would probably break me,he is more like a son than a brother sometimes)to make sure I am able to give my brother the best of care and meet these unforseen bills that may come after but incurred during the procedure.if I'm able to raise money, I will be able to maintain stability in my brothers life, which is crucial to his mental state.I will be able to maintain a small amount of savings and be able to continue on this newer healthier life that I've built for us.in the last few years we have cut out sodas most of the bad food(except a couple cheat days.hehe)colored dyes,growing our own food etc.it has been a hard life,but one I'm not ready to quit on by far and one I constantly am learning from.Thank you, for taking your time to read this!❤️
