Drew Facey - Kelly Murphy Support

Friends and family,

 

Some of you may or may not know that our sweet Drew started to become ill in October of 2021. The condition presented itself in various forms from full body inflammation to a low red blood cell count that led to a serious form of anemia that affected his internal oxygen levels affecting his ability to breathe. By December Drew began to have trouble walking due to blood clots; one in each leg that caused swelling in his feet. Drew battled so hard, the medical teams fought to help him, so many tests were administered and different medications were given. Despite all this his condition continued to worsen by the day.

 

Drew passed away on May 11th 2022.

 

As part of Drew's current design practice he was working for an interior design firm out of New York City, this was Drew and Kelly's source of income. Over the last six months they were barely able to keep up with projects at a part time capacity, and over the past two months almost not at all meaning no income. Kelly became Drew's full time caregiver.

 

Due to this the medical expenses piled up as well as other unexpected realities due to the extreme circumstances they found themselves in. Kelly worked alongside Drew in his design practice performing background admin duties but is no longer working and will not be able to until his full return to Canada in the coming months.

 

Your support and donations will be used to allow Kelly in this time of grieving to cover the extensive medical expenses associated with Drew's hospital stay, provide the means for a return trip to Canada for Drew's service, and aid in the ability for Kelly to sort out affairs and costs associated with his return to Canada.
