On the funding website YouCaring.com, Jillian McCabe made an appeal for money to help her husband, Matt McCabe, who she said is suffering from multiple sclerosis.
"My husband Matt and I have a son named London and we run the blog www.autisticlondon.com - Although we have not updated it in a long time. I would stay home with London full-time and Matt would work full-time and run his own side business, www.semitechnical.com.
Matt is an amazingly selfless person; such a loving husband and father and never complained about working so hard to get us by. Seriously, he would get up early at 5am, work on his side projects, take a shower and then go to work for a full 8 hours, then come home, play with London, spend time with me and then go back to his side business projects.
Having a single income family is always a roll of the dice as you are relying on one person to bring in the resources and crossing your fingers nothing happens to that person. Well, something in fact did happen to that one person, my husband Matt."
The website showed that her appeal had raised $6,821 toward a goal of $50,000.
Photo galleries on the site show the family together at various events.
