Things are getting bad.

As a lot of you know my wife Carla has been battling leukemia. I've been off work caring for her for almost 2 months. She's back in the hospital with severe respiratory problems.  Probably be on a ventilator tonight. If I can't go back to work in the next couple weeks I've got to figure out how to pay for my insurance. https://www.facebook.com/ricky.hamlin.35/posts/1092622750770248

    My family will be praying for you and yours. Is fmla not an option?

    Sorry, I was not aware FMLA pay was at the employers discretion.

    Not sure if others have this issue, but I can't see that link "insufficient permissions" or something like that.

    Still praying for you guys Ricky

    I don't know. It works when I tap on it. Don't know if it's because I did it on my phone or what.

    I can find your facebook page OK, but the link doesn't work.  Is there something there you'd like us to know about?

    And...  you and Carla are still on my prayer list!

    I don't know it works for me every time. I'm not technically savy. Maybe I can find out something.

    Not sure guys. I tried it with my wife's phone and the link worked. So I'm stumped. I'll see if I can send the gofundme people a message. But thanks for trying.

    That link works fine.  I also saw it as a post on your facebook page, and my guess is that you linked to that post, but unless we're 'friends' on fb it won't let us follow the original link directly to that post.

    Ahh that's probably it. Never thought of that. Thanks
