My step son Joe had a massive bleed on the brain last week and a week later he is still very critical. He is a young man of 36 and has a daughter, Aurora who is 6 years old and a son who is due anytime now. His wife Samie is on maternity leave with very little financial support from this because she's in the health care sector.

Joe is self employed and without insurance, being young sometimes these things do not seem so important but now in this tragic situation his young family need a lot of support financially to pay for the mortgage and day to day bills. His Dad wanted to do something to help as you can imagine and had the idea of setting up a page like this which he felt would at least take some of the financial pressure away at this extremely difficult time. We totally understand that not everyone can help financially so we ask that nobody feels in any way compelled to donate but we would all really appreciate your thoughts for Joe and his young family and if you pray, your prayers at this time.
