[quote=Anonymous]It's so daunting. Especially having to wait for the diagnosis and seeing your whole life upending. I would check benefits at your work and his. Does he get short term disability or long term disability? Some employers also offer supplemental coverage like critical illness, long term disability, or life insurance (some may not need a health assessment). If he can hang on until the fall you could elect during open enrollment (if he can't work you could use FMLA though it would not be paid, better to use short term disability because it might be paid 100%). If he has life insurance, some have an acceleration of benefits rider in case of a serious illness. I'm just looking for ways to preserve income. I would definitely start a Go Fund Me once you have the diagnosis and know what is happening. This is exactly the situation where they make sense. [/quote]
