Shine The Light On My Father

For those that don't know my father Bill has been in critical condition for 2 weeks now, he's in a medically induced coma and hooked up to a ventilator in hopes to help him breathe properly again. He's located in the ICU at Kaiser hospital on Morse Ave. On top of battling his diagnosis of congested heart failure and kidney disease the passed year and a half he caught some type of severe infection recently which is the reason he had to be admitted. Those that know me and my brothers know that we are very close with our dad so this has been really challenging mentally, physically and emotionally. My Father and I live together so I've been a witness in watching him fight these life struggles and I try to do everything in my power to help try and make things a lil easier on him if possible. I debated on making this page but every once in a while there comes a time in life where we must let our pride down and ask for help. So this here is my cry for help, with him being ill in the hospital and not knowing how long his recovery might take, all the financial stress falls onto my shoulders and I'm sure all can relate to how stressful that can be to not have the resources to cover all needed areas like rent, food, bills, etc; I work as many hours as I can but can only do as much as one man can do. So I'm calling on anyone and everyone that knows my father that can help us shine a light on these dark days, even strangers that can find it in their hearts to lend a helping hand, I thank you from the pit of my soul. Typically I feel strange asking for anything but like they say desperate times call for desperate measures so I'm taking action. Life is a mess right now and I'm trying my best to pick up the pieces, any help big or small will move towards lifting this tremendous weight off of me and my family's shoulders. I just want my father to get well and for him to not have to stress off of the financial situation, I would love to be able to tell him I got it handled when he awakens from this sick sleep. So again I thank you to everyone who takes the time to shed some love, light and offer a helping hand. It means the world to me.         -Josh Gibbons
