not enough medical insurance

[Dave Koehler]

I hope I am not stepping out of bounds with this.
My nephew worked his way up to Chef status the hard way, by himself on his own dime. He could have stayed working for the highly successful family construction co (not mine) and been set for life but followed his dream. For that I am proud of him.

Between the Obamacare deductible and having to miss work he wiped out what money he had and needs some help.

His GoFundMe account.

Again, if this is an incorrect thing to ask here please remove.
I understand he had to have his arm twisted to do this. Asking for help is not an easy thing for him or many of us here.
I guarantee it will go to the right place. He is likely going to need more than he is asking for.
PS: Now I understand the beard which I thought was out of character.

He is not supposed to pay his bills!

The agenda is for him to go broke! Then the Gov. will take care of him because then he will truly be POOR!!

Like the 47 percent are..

Right..

And please tell me how wrong I am here... If I am?

I think you lost your way. Pedal your agenda elsewhere.

Yup, been through the wringer with my wife. Similar deal. Work injury puts her full time at home. Took forever to get the disability approved and she has a while to go before medicare kicks in. Insurance helps but sure costs a lot.

The nephew is just trying to keep from going down the rabbit hole while he goes through recovery. As stated his insurance won't go far enough and his work has no paid sick leave so no income to keep the home fires burning after a while.

Never got involved with the gofundme deal before. I will be interested to see how much he receives versus what was paid. Anyone know?
