Emergency Medical---Faylene & Ronald
Donation protected
Driving my Grandma to the Emergency Room this morning made me realize something. I haven't done enough.
Grandma and Grandpa have worked tirelessly their entire lives to help people. They've given everything they've owned. Not just to friends and family, but complete strangers too. Living on a main highway in a rural area, grandpa has donated a lot of gas, tires, money and time to strangers who've broken down in front of his home. Grandma jumps on board and brings them food or treats, or even invites them in for dinner. That's for complete strangers. It would be impossible to even compile a list of things they've done for friends and family. Not once have they asked for anything in return.
The past year, Grandma has had some very bad medical issues. This past month alone, her health has declined drastically. For the second time this week Grandma has become somewhat unresponsive and needed to be rushed to the ER for all the vomiting, diarrhea and low blood pressure etc. I think it's the 4th time this month. We know it's something to do with her kidneys, but have yet to find a solution. She has had kidney stones, stents, and emergency surgeries. On top of the bills, they still have Grandmas expensive medications. Part of those are from when she beat colon cancer.... Through all of this, Grandpa has never left her side.
Grandma and Grandpa do not have any income. The medical bills keep climbing and and more are on the way.
On the drive to the ER this morning, Grandpa tenderly told me stories about when he and grandma were kids. With tears in his eyes, he talks about her and how they met and how much he loves her. He said he doesn't want to lose her, and how worried he is about her. She is worth all the money in the world to him, whether they have it or not. He'll just 'figure it out'.
That's when it hit me, that I hadn't done enough. They are never going to ask for help. They are going to shoulder the burden and figure it out. Truthfully, that's not okay with me. They have no income, they have no resources to pull from, and those of us who have the ability to help are already doing everything we can. I don't care if they get mad that I'm blasting this all over GoFundMe or Facebook or wherever this hits. I love them enough to plead for help on their behalf.
All I want, is for my grandpa to be able to focus on his sweetheart.
Can you please help lighten the financial burden for my grandparents? I promise they would do the same for you, even if they didn't know who you were, and it was the last penny they had.
PS! I learned their deductible is $5000. Ideally I’d love to get their deductible covered by donations. Their bills are already much much higher than that, but we will help them in any way they can.
