    My dad was severely burned in an accident. Medical bills are mounting. He will be out of work for at least 2 months. If you can help by donating, please go to the website my niece and her fiance set up.

    Thanks for your help. Prayers are welcome too.

    information?  What kind of accident?  No insurance?  I think people might like to knnow a few more particulars before they will donate.

    Thanks.  Prayers and best wishes to your father.  I know burns are very painful.

    My dad was working on his lawn mower. It "backfired" and caught fire. My dad was severly burned on the right side of his body. Thank God he had the wits to do "stop, drop, and roll."

    He has medicare, but it will not cover all the medical bills. He still works part time to make ends meet. He will be unable to work for at least 2 months. My mom is not able to work at all. My niece and her children live with them. My niece works, but her company refuses to make her full time. Her children are 8 and 10. She gets no child support from her ex.

    Needless to say, without my dad’s extra income, they are really struggling.

    Thanks for the help.

    Per Bonbon’s suggestion, I explained the situtation under my original post. Right now, I am waiting on pins and needles to hear today’s report. I really am hoping and praying there will be no more graphs or hospital stays this time around.

    That is certainly tragic and I know all of us send him our prayers and best wishes for a speedy (and painless) recovery.

    It just goes to show, you never know what something tragic can strike.

    Yes, Medicare is not what a lot of people think.  They only cover 80% of your costs unless you have supplimentary insurance.  And they only cover so many days in the hospital (don’t remember just how many now) so if you have to stay a while, you foot the whole bill.

    Good luck to him and his family.

    I am praying for you and your dad. I hope he is ok. I think that would be the scariest thing, being caught on fire! Prayers are on the way!

    I’ve always imagined that burning or drowning has got to be the most horrible things that could happen to you.

    This has been incredibly hard on the family. I had to turn down a job offer because there was way I could move 200 to 300 miles away under current conditions. I’d have to be there in less than a week.Plus the pay was way lower than I was oringally told. No way would I be able to do it time wise, logistics wise, or money wise. Besides, as my niece’s ex said when he dropped off the kids…my parents need me. God will provide
