Help Larry with Unexpected Medical Expenses

Donation protected
UPDATED March 22, 2021: Unfortunately Larry’s heart was unable to recover from the damage it sustained, and he passed on the evening of March 21st, approximately 22 days after this ordeal began. The need for help still exists. That 22 days was spent in ICU with a very talented medical staff who gave their very best. Please continue giving Carol, Larry’s wife, your love and support during this time.

Original story:

Larry was healthy and happy then suddenly, on the evening of Saturday, February 27th 2021, tragedy struck. Larry suffered a sudden and severe heart attack on the left-side of the heart or left ventricle, the heart’s main pumping power source. Over the last week, Larry's condition has slowly improved, but he still remains hooked up to many different machines to take the load off his heart including: a ventilator, heart and lung bypass machine, and dialysis. While everyone of us, including Larry's loving wife Carol, know that he will get better, the medical bills will quickly mount, and we need to take immediate action to help them with that unexpected financial burden, so the long-term focus can be on Larry's recovery. I have personally known both Larry and Carol since high school, and they are two of the most caring and giving people I know. Like many of us, they are but a single tragedy away from financial disaster. I am asking you, their family, friends, and neighbors, to come together and give them the support and love they need at this time. Thank you in advance for your generous donations to this amazing couple.
