My dad is in the hospital dying. Two months ago, my dad woke up one morning with excruciating back pain, and because he is in his 70s as an old man, it was very hard for him to deal with it, especially since he is a dialysis patient with a weak heart and a history of 7 to 8 heart attacks. My sister and I have done home-hemodialysis with him for 3 years since 2020, and we have been diligent about his dialysis schedule to make sure he got 4 treatments—as required—every single week; however, ever since the back pain, my dad’s health has been rapidly declining, and it still is. My sister and I would drive our dad to and from hospitals as far as 2 hours away just so he could get pain relief. The hospital drives became more frequent because his right hip—that has always been a chronic problem—went out, and he became crippled. Because of the frequent trips to the hospitals, especially those that are far away, his home-hemodialysis schedule was never 4 treatments a week for the past 2 months, and now, he is in the nearest hospital lying on his death bed. The fluid around his weakened heart builds up no matter how much the medical staff drain it. He is sleeping in the hospital right now, but it has been made clear that he will not make it; my dad has stated this too, long before his care team even came to that conclusion. He may have only a few days left, and my sister and I have a house mortgage to pay along with other bills. My sister and I have been our elderly father’s caretakers for the past 3 years since the COVID-19 pandemic shortly after we graduated from university, so we have never worked, and we have no money. We have a house mortgage to pay every month along with utilities, cellphone bills, and internet. We also have a car note to pay every month, and another car that needs repair to the driver mirror because the driver mirror is gone. September is coming up, and we need money to pay for these things, for my sister and I may not get jobs in time, and even if we do, we cannot make up that kind of money in a matter of two weeks! Please, we need $50,000 to cover the costs of the house mortgage, utility bills, cellphone bills, internet bill, insurance, car note, car repair, gas, and groceries until my sister and I can get hired and save enough money to stand on our own feet. My dad’s wishes are to be cremated and to have his ashes in an urn, and we need money for that, too. We are facing our dad’s death, and we are begging for money.
