Needing help with medical and travel expenses

Story

Hello my name is Misty (Baker) Wink and I am a mother of 2 and a grandmother to 2. I have had a lot of major surgeries done in the past 3 years including open heart surgery having 5 bypasses to my heart. Then my health really took a turn for the worst. I had to be put on kidney dialysis because my kidneys are failing and I will have to have to have a kidney transplant to keep living. Then I had my big toe on my left foot amputated last March. In September, I had to have my right leg amputated and most recently in April had had another toe on my left foot amputated and had to have a leg bypass done where they cut my femoral artery out from my groin to right above my ankle to repair it and get the blood flow back in order to save my left leg. The medical bills are piling up and we have spent everything in our savings we had. I am just now learning how to rewalk again. We still have many more trips back and forth to St. Louis and need all the help we can get. We are barely staying afloat with our bills and my fiancé has had to take off work with no pay to get me back and forth. I am on disability which isn’t much and he works a full time job, but it’s still not enough. I am hopeful that I will get a kidney transplant in the near future. If you could help out, we would greatly appreciate it. If you cannot, please continue to pray for us as it will be a long journey. Thank you and God bless each and every one of you.
