Shlomi’s Corona fight
Donation protected
We firstly want to thank each and everyone of you for your prayers and contributions to the Elkriaf family. Words cannot express our gratitude. Miracles have occurred in my dads situation and everything the doctors have been telling us from the beginning has been devastating but he has the strength of a Lion as most of you may know so he’s pushing! Unfortunately the road to recovery is very long and costly and he’s relying on all of us.
Shlomi’s story:
On June 6th 2020 Shlomi had a hard time breathing and was admitted into the hospital with ARDS caused by COVID-19. He immediately was put on the ventilator and was put into an induced coma. Being in critical condition and given a 5% chance of surviving, he struggled with multiple infections, kidney failure, lung failure, blood clots, and many other obstructions. At the hardest point he was on 100% oxygen from the machines and that was almost not enough to keep him breathing. He pulled through and 2 months later woke up. He since then has been doing dialysis daily and oxygen reliance from machines has been decreasing slowly. He recently tested negative for Covid and is starting to rebuild his strength. His battle is far from over with multiple types of rehabilitation needed. Once off the ventilators (God willing sooner than later) he will need to be immediately moved from Kaiser to a rehab facility that does dialysis, physical therapy, and speech therapy in house. Unfortunately his health insurance doesn’t cover this type of facility and we are seeking out for your help.
We are beyond blessed to say that he is now in recovery mode and has beaten the worst parts of this virus. These are the tough times we are reaching out for your help. His long journey is just now beginning.
Prayers come first and contributions second.We are going to need all the help we can get and greatly appreciate anything you can contribute.
Again, thank you everyone for everything your blessings will help my dad recover.
Thank you everyone for your blessings and donations today is Shlomi’s 96th day in the hospital ❤️❤️❤️ 9/11/2020
