The gofund me link doesn't come up. I am on the Mobil app so maybe that's my problem?
I've seen things like this in the past at work and my question is do people contact United way? Isn't this what we "donate" for or is that just to make our supervisors look good and put billboards up?

He is not working because as you can imagine , it would be very difficult to keep your mind on your work when your baby is going through hell. Like I posted earlier , he could use any help possible, he has applied for benefits but living on 60% of your income and paying for parking ($25 a day } and other expenses when your at the hospital everyday is pricey. ANY help will help...come on UPSers!!
As cold as that seems, I have to agree. The Gofundme page says that BOTH the mom and dad are currently not working. It seems a bit selfish to CHOOSE not to work, and then ask people for money

That’s Craptacular
That's what your local brothers are for...have them take up a collection. The internet shouldn't be used for panhandling...sorry. It's a sad situation...but lots of upsers have financial troubles or a family crisis or illness...I don't see them on here with their hands out asking for our hard earned money. You "come on"!

First, my heart goes out to them to have such a young Child with medical problems.
Makes me appreciate and feel fortunate that my own has grown into an adult with no medical issues.
You still got to provide for your Family, I believe all of us have faced circumstances of ill Children or Parents in declining health.
Hard to do, but still have to work and trust all will come out for the best.
