Erik, first and foremost, is a father. He is a father to two beautiful children, an 8-year-old daughter, and a 5-year-old son. He his a husband. He has a brother to three younger siblings. He is a son.
Over two months ago, Erik was getting treated for what was originally thought to be an infection in the intestines. His condition started to drastically dropped. He was then admitted into hospital, all while still being treated for what was thought to be an infection. The hospital was making plans to give him blood transfusions and the likes, just to cure this infection.
Then Erik slipped into a coma and our worst nightmares began. What we thought had been an infection, was cancer this entire time. It wasn't an intestinal infection, it was intestinal cancer.
Over the last month has been pretty rough. For the length of just under a week, Erik would spend nights where he would stop breathing 3 up to 5 times. After that week, we got some news that his heartbeat and breathing is starting to stabilize. We started to breathe easy. Until they told us that he started having violent spasms accompanied by fever.
When Erik's younger brother, my best friend, told me about the situation, things started to really kick into gear for me. We had to find a way to make it work. I started working two jobs, asking for small donations from family and friends.
What we raised was barely enough to keep up with the extremely steep medical bills. We made a great effort and managed to cover a quarter of said bills.
However, this is our last dash attempt. The hospital told us that we had until the 10th of November to earn $1,200 to cover the previous amount that we still owed. We are trying our best to talk it through and negotiate more time with the hospital.
This is why I have come on here. I am looking for ways that I could possibly raise money in that limited amount of time to pay for the medical fees. I know this is an incredible feat. I am nobody to ask this from any single person. I just really do need help. I refuse to stop fighting for Erik on this side, considering Erik won't stop fighting in there.
He is 39 years old, he has so much more of life yet to live. He has so much more time that he could spend with his family.
Please help me and Erik.
