Help bring Jerry home!

This fundraiser is for a dear friend that urgently needs our help as her father battles a severe illness in Peru and the family is trying to get him back to the US to get him the medical attention he needs. Any help would be greatly appreciated by the family.

A message from Jerry’s kids:

Two weeks ago our beloved dad Jerry and his wife, were visiting Peru, when suddenly he became very ill. He was admitted to ICU at a hospital in Lima with pneumonia and has spent over 10 days battling pneumonia, septic shock, a collapsed lung, kidney failure and now his liver is in very bad shape. Jerry has a long road ahead of him both in the hospital and rehabilitating once he's stronger.

We are determined to get Jerry home to continue fighting and to be surrounded by his entire loving family.

Sadly, our family has learned that Jerrys health insurance will not cover much of these accumulating medical bills nor will it cover a medical flight (outside of the United States). The medical flight cost alone is $130,000 and his hospital bills are already well over $50,000. All money raised from this go fund me will be put towards the cost of his increasing hospital bills in Peru and flying our dad safely back to his family! Our dad is the strongest person we know and we are so hopeful that he will be on the road to recovery once he is home!
