I didn't think this would ever have to be a thing, but it sadly is.
For the past past almost year, my father has had a broken/messed up foot, and he has finally had a surgery for it. As of April 22nd, my father has been off of work, and has been for near 2 weeks. We have been facing 4-6 weeks of little income, as my father was the main source of income for bills, food, etc. My mother has set up a GofundMe page to hopefully bring in a minor amount of money, only to help us with the bills, food, gas, etc.

From the GoFundMe page:
"My Husband, Wally, broke his foot during the summer of 2014, he didn't fall or anything , a small bone in his foot broke during normal foot use (all he did was step outta the truck) so he was on a knee scooter most of the summer and into the Fall. In October , he got to get rid of the walking air-cast & off the kneescooter, he was so happy, for a few weeks, Then the pain started, his foot was misshappen along the outside (due to a bone shifting and making the muscle and tissue protrude) and was rubbing in his workboot, causing a large ulcer. The podiatrist put him off his foot for another 4 weeks and sent him to get boots with special-made inserts, The boots helped a little , but then again last week the ulcer is back, His foot is still misshappen along the outside and now he is schedule for foot surgery on April 22. They will shave off the side of his foot and he will be off work for 6 weeks.
Wally is 44 and has been a Type 1 diabetic since the age of 13.
Wally's job is the main source of income for our family and we need some assistance to make it through the 6 weeks of no work, I am a stay at home mom and can't really go back to work cause now I will be primary caretaker of not only our daughter but wally while he recovers from foot surgery. He applied for short term disability insurance though work and was denied due to his pre-existing condition of type 1 diebetes, we assume, we never got a clear answer as to why he was denied."
Any donations are highly appreciated, and I will be offering tail badges and head sketches (lined and colored) in return for the donations. Please, even if you can't donate, please help spread the word. This is a hard time for my family, as we are a family of 5. Please, and thank you, I love all of you guys.
