This GoFundMe is for my brother Kevin who would give anyone the shirt off his back. Now he needs some help. He has had a difficult year. He had COVID-19 very bad and was on a respirator, but he pulled through. He still is tired but doing a lot better. His wife has stage 5 kidney failure and she is going blind. She owes hospital bills.
His oil tank let go while he was in the hospital with COVID-19 and the bills just keep going up with hospital bills and clean-up ahead. Homeowners’ insurance does not cover oil spills. It is a terrible situation. It would be a blessing for them to get help.
