COVID-19 (ICU)Calvin Owner of Chef C’s Smhokin Pot

Hello we are the family of Calvin (Chef C). Chef C (Calvin) of Chef C’s Smhokin Pot and his family are i need of your help. Chef C wasn’t always a chef. He left his career as a respiratory therapist for Long Beach memorial hospital about 4 years ago to pursue his passion for cooking. The father of one (cailey), created a family based business which started in 2016 doing catering, festivals and events in his surrounding cities and neighboring states. From their in 2017 he got a food truck and is now doing it all while running a brick and mortar location in Carson, California. Of coarse a business is just as good as it’s employees and the family and friends that stand behind it and the customers and anyone whom supports. Chef C (Calvin) has now became affected by what our world has been trying to escape for almost two years now ..Covid-19. Some have mild symptoms, some have severe symptoms, and then their are others whose symptoms become life threatening. Chef C tested positive for covid 19 3 weeks ago. He was home for 5 days until his symptoms began to worsen. He went to the ER and was admitted because his oxygen levels were not stable. For another 5 days he struggled through the pain and discomfort while on oxygen as the doctors and nurses monitored him and tried to keep him comfortable. But Calvin ..ChefC… he couldn’t do it on his own anymore. He said he was tired. Him trying to breath on his own was becoming to much. That’s because pneumonia had already form and began to worsen his symptoms. His lungs were stiff and it had turn into ARDS. Since then he had to be intibated. The one thing that we were trying to avoid. Everyday the reports are heart breaking and we can’t believe what’s happening. All we can do is wait day by day for updates. Hoping to hear any piece of good news. Praying for a miracle!! We are at the point now where we need all the support, love, help and prayers we can get! As the days pass and we sit hoping praying and waiting, things like most, start to fall apart. In those times are the times you have to be brave and volnurable enough to not only share your hardship but also ask for help because even when it falls apart their are people who are willing to try to help put it back together. At this time, we the family are in hopes that you all can help us contribute to the process of his well being and save what he has worked so hard for. His lively hood, the thing he has put all his dedication into to make you all happy, with food for your soul. If you can donate awesome, if you can go to the restaurant or the food truck and support that would be awesome or/and send some prayers up and be in agreeance with us that he will overcome this!!! That covid-19 will not be the thing that takes his life no matter how bad it may look, no matter how bad the doctors reports are. In whichever way you are able to contribute to supporting us at this time. We are forever greAtful!!! Thank you❤️
