Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle Sr., is facing serious financial challenges after having his left leg amputated in the Philippines.
According to his son Thomas Markle Jr., the 81-year-old, who has a history of heart problems and a stroke, discovered that his health insurance will not cover the cost of his treatment.
Thomas Jr., said all medical expenses will have to be paid out of pocket and that his father will need ongoing, intensive care.
So to help, he added that he is raising money through his YouTube channel and considering crowdfunding, as the family works to manage the unexpected costs.
“So, got kind of really screwed on insurance here... nothing that he had there that he thought is going to cover him here,” he said on YouTube.
Thomas Jr. continued, “So everything’s out of pocket and it’s going to be a day-by-day thing and figure this out and get him whatever we need to get him.”
“Dad’s going to be okay, but it’s going to be a whole different world than what he’s used to. This is a big big serious deal and it’s going to take a lot of extensive care.
“This just got bumped up to a whole different level. Now my channel and everything that I make off of it, which is not that much... is going to take care of my father.”
“I’m working on some other things for some different revenue or whatever... for like a GoFundMe or something.”
