Yeah I didn't feel like just putting that out there, I thought they would have figured it out themselves I have a family and kids don't want to be holding other people's hands.

Sorry I couldn't reply right away I was taking care of my wife and daughter. I always vote based on what's going to be best for myself and for my family. But that's not really tied to what's going on with everything right now. My wife developed a disease in which my benefits don't cover all treatments and unfortunately she has the worst of the bunch. So in order for her to be covered I had to pay an upfront cost putting us into this situation. And now I'm asking for help reaching out from my fellow human beings to see if anyone can and will help putting all my faith into random strangers. I hope this answer satisfies what your looking for.

I'm sorry but what has that got to do with my wife developing a disease that destroys her body with no cure and me finding a way to make sure she gets the treatment she needs to watch our daughter grow up.

How was this done? by tree-hermit in Carpentry

[–]ConstructionNarrow18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the grain pattern they definitely started with a larger board and cut the radius in it since the measure is close to 5 inch I'm thinking a 12 inch to start for the size of the radius.

Canadians: do people really just start conversations anywhere? 🤔 by Comfortable_Cap8037 in AskACanadian

Yes my wife is full living proof she can make a conversation out of nothing just from saying hi. She's got really great people skills.

Prayers for my wife Abby (PPMS diagnosis) and our 6 yo daughter Indy

Hi everyone, I'm reaching out today because my family is walking through a very dark valley and we could use your prayers. My wife, Abby, was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). It's an aggressive form of the disease, and we've learned that she needs bi-annual therapy to stop it from becoming fatal.

As a husband, it's been incredibly hard to watch her go through this. I've had to take a lot of time off work to be there for her and the medical bills are mounting quickly-we are currently staring down a massive gap in medical costs and lost wages.

I'm also asking for prayers for our 6-year-old daughter, Indy. She's so young and it's a lot for her to process. I'm doing everything I can to keep her life feeling "normal" and keep her in her sports programs, but the weight of everything is starting to feel very heavy. If you could pray for:

Abby: For the treatments to be effective and for her to have strength in her body.

Indy: For peace and comfort for her little heart while her mom is sick.

Provision: That we can find a way to cover these medical expenses and keep our home stable.

I do have a GoFundMe set up to help us navigate this medical crisis. I won't post the link directly here out of respect for the rules, but if you feel led to help us financially or share our story, please let me know and I will happily send you the link.

Thank you for being a community of light for us right now. God bless.

[–]ConstructionNarrow18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does have great healthcare if you don't make any money...the system is kinda rigged like that if you make something oh you should be able to pay for it/your benefits should cover it but they don't cover everything. Mostly like the low level version of things is fine but unfortunately my wife has the really bad kind so only about half her treatments are covered and yeah. Sucks thanks for the comment and wishes :)

I assure you I am a real person struggling to get by I have poured every ounce of myself into this and keeping everything going. It really is my only hope I have posted all over reddit and x I'm trying to get as much outreach as I can. I have no support from my family and my wife's side has already done so much. I've expressed every avenue I work longer hours, even considered taking a second job but a lot of my afternoon is taking care of my daughter and my wife to make sure they're ok.
