It has been recommended by Nicholas' doctors that he slow down. Due to the progression of his Cystic Fibrosis, he has been instructed to seek social security disability and reduce his hours at work to 15 a week.
This will decrease his physical strain and increase his ability to do preventative care at home.
To do this he will need to apply for the benefits and that process can only be done after his work hours have been reduced and the process often takes 5 to 9 months. It is those 5 to 9 months that we are trying to cover. During that time Nicholas will need to cover $2,350 in monthly personal and medical bills. He will also need to cover $500 a month for a year and a half for medical bills till he is covered by Medicare 24 months after the application is submitted. The total for this could be as high as $28,150.
While this might be a difficult process Nicholas trusts in the Lord and is hopeful in the kindness and charity of friends and family. Thank you for your consideration of him and his family during this transition.
