We are so sorry to hear of your loved one’s illness! Please know first and foremost we are lifting them, you, and your family up in prayer.

Second, I see there is a GoFundMe set up. Please make sure they talk to a social worker and apply for uncompensated care. It can discount your hospital bill up to 100% and sometimes doctors will match that discount. GoFundMe can be a blessing but if the person is on a government program such as Medicaid or SSI, it can get complicated.
Here is an article with more information, in case you are interested.

I would encourage you or someone else in the family to check out setting up a Help Hope Live campaign. Help Hope Live is a trusted medical fundraising nonprofit that provides all of the support necessary to be successful in your fundraising. Because it is a nonprofit, donations can be tax deductible and you are also eligible to receive matching gifts from companies, which can add up quickly.
We have a campaign for Dave for unpaid medical needs and it has been a major blessing! We can’t say enough good things about Help Hope Live!
