Getting Through Surgery And Recovery GoFundMe
Hello, everyone.
I have decided to put up this fundraiser because it has been and will be a very trying time over the next while around our home. I (John) have been going through a number of health issues the past few years and most recently, I have developed an infection in the bone in my foot. This will require surgery and a fair amount of recovery. This, along with a number of other health issues which have had a great effect on my daily living has really been a burden on us. This past while has me needing to go in for IV antibiotics twice a day for 1.5 to 2 hours each visit, plus having to set an alarm for 2 am to take more antibiotics. As well, there have been a number of medical appointments with doctors/surgeon/etc that just add more time every week. Having Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Chronic Kidney Disease, Macular Degeneration, Osteomyelitis and more .. is more than enough .. but ..
Why the fundraiser? A big reason is that my wonderful, loving wife Beverly has had to spend an awful lot of time taking me to appointments and taking care of me around the home as well. As mentioned above, several hours of IV daily has made it so that Bev has to spend a lot of her time driving me to/from these and doing all the household duties and getting me to other appointments (as well as tend to her own health/appointments, and more). As such she has had to make a very big choice of taking a leave of absence while I am dealing with the pre-surgery and for the recovery time. During recovery, I will be fairly immobile around home, as well as need to possibly continue antibiotics for several weeks. This has, of course, has an impact on our financial situation. Beverly has to go through enough with all this and I don't want her to worry about more while we are getting through all this.
Obviously being here in Canada, surgery costs themselves are not an issue (thank goodness!) but there are still bills in life to pay (rent, van, utilities, food, etc). While we will have some funds coming in, having a little boost and knowing that we have something to lean on during this time will certainly make a major difference to our levels of concern and anxiety!
I am hoping that there are some out there that are able to help just a little bit. (Any little bit helps, doesn't it?). I know it is not anybody else's responsibility to get us through this, but I am truly thankful for any little bit (and very thankful for people that have already come alongside to help!!)
Thank you for taking your time to look at this, and even if you can't do anything (I totally understand!), I would so very much appreciate some positive thoughts and prayers through this time!
John
