Help still needed for Rowdy Ron Higgins .
Donation protected
This is my brother's situation and why I am asking on his behalf for help. **Please see all updates**
My brother Ron moved in with our father to try to be our father's care giver after our father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. My brother has one partial foot amputation due to diabetes and had recently had other health issues resulting in him being unable to work.
During the first week of trying to care for our father, my brother's health was compromised once again, and he was sent to the hospital. Our father's health continued to decline, and hospice made the suggestion to move Dad to a hospice facility.
My brother Ron is having another amputation tomorrow, February 14th, and hospice states Dad will pass away by the weekend. With the doctor's permission, my brother was able to see Dad one last time before he had to go back to the hospital to complete his second amputation.
Unfortunately, there is no life insurance, my father has no money, and my brother was hoping for a small tax refund that hasn't come to pay for the cremation, keep utilities on, groceries, etc.
I have spent the last few weeks doing everything I can to make their home clean, wheelchair accessible and liveable for my brother during his upcoming recovery. All while trying to process my father's pending death and his final needs. Their combined financial burden far exceeds my means.
- Utilities are going to be shut off
- House payment
- Groceries
- Final expenses for our father
- This doesn't even begin to address the mountain of medical bills for each of them.
I am reaching out to recommended programs to help provide potential long-term assistance.
Your prayers and generosity are appreciated as we try to navigate this overwhelming situation.
