My Family Needs Help

Dear family and friends,

I am reaching out to request your support for my sister and her husband. A couple weeks ago, their lives were turned upside down when my brother-in-law suffered a massive heart attack, which literally stopped his heart. Against all odds, and with the help of people, science and miracles, he was brought back to this life. He has been released from the hospital with a regiment of care restrictions and guidelines. He has a long road of recovery ahead, riddled with many unknown variables.

What we do know is that his life is currently dependent on a cardiac vest that he wears to monitor and restart his heart when needed. This costs $1,600 to rent per month, and it does not include maintenance or repair. The emergency procedure that saved his life costs roughly $40,000, and this does not include the amazing first responder’s initiatives, tests, procedures, medicine and his overall stay in the ICU. We know that this journey will be physically, psychologically, and financially taxing for everyone involved. We know that we can’t do it without help.

We are beyond humbled and grateful for the insurmountable outpour of love and support that we have already received from people all over the world. No words could ever express how much it has meant to us. Thank you all for your continuous shows of love during this difficult time.

Any support you or someone you know can afford to give, in any form, would be greatly appreciated. All contributions will help pay for the medical and living expenses that are being accrued daily. Thank you in advance from the bottom of our hearts. We love you.

Tranding Fundraisers

I’ve created this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friends, Sarah and James, who are enduring every parent’s worst nightmare — the loss of their beloved son, Leo.

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.

Hi everyone — Angela here, writing on behalf of Matthew (for now). On December 6th, completely out of the blue, Matthew suffered a severe stroke.
