Annette Kimbrell hasn't added a story.
My name is Annette Kimbrell and Marsha Hutchins is my cousin. Marsha has suddenly fallen very ill and has been in and out of three hospitals over the past three months, but is still searching for answers.
Marsha's pancreas, liver, and kidneys are not functioning properly. As you can imagine, we are all shocked and heart broken watching her go through all of this. She has been in ICU for the past week and doctors continue to search for answers. We know she will require a liver transplant, but we still do not know what has caused these problems.
Like most of you, Dave, Marsha's husband, wants to be by his wife's side through:
- each test and procedure
- each time the doctors come to share their findings
- her times of needing emotional support
Unfortunately, Dave has to continue to take care of their household and must work as much as possible to continue to bring in money in order financially keep things together. Marsha has health insurance, but that doesn't pay the day-to-day bills that a two income household covers. Can you imagine how this might work in your household? How would your bills and day-to-day expenses be covered if this happened to your spouse/partner/significant other?
"Holding down the fort", as they say, is a struggle during all of this.
The Kimbrell's and the Hutchins' families want to collect money to help pay for some of the missing income and to help pay for some of their day-to-day expenses, medications she will need, and medical bills to come.
Many of us are but one illness, one serious injury, or one layoff away from a financial avelanche. If you can donate even a small amount, it will help. If you cannot donate, please share with others.
