Help Sergeant Jason Block

In February of 2024 Sergeant Jason Block, of the MN Department of Corrections, suffered a medical incident that resulted in a stroke, a bleed in his brain, seizures, and a two-week hospital stay. He is now unable to return to work until the end of August at the earliest.

 Due to this, Jason has exhausted his FMLA, sick time, and his vacation time. We were all expecting Jason to be approved for assistance from the state. Due to circumstances outside his control, that assistance is not happening. Jason is currently faced with paying for his bills, daily expenses and now his insurance premiums ($800+/mo) out of pocket with only short-term disability to live on.

Currently, Jason is going through extensive testing. X-rays, CT scans, PET scans, lumbar punctures, dozens of MRIs and EEGs, a transesophageal echocardiogram and two spinal taps… just to name a few so far. And still, we have no concrete answers.

Jason’s doctors have offered a variety of theories on his condition ranging from cancer to rare genetic disorders. None of the theories end well for him.

Any and all funds donated to Sgt. Jason Block will largely be used to pay these unexpected insurance premiums as well as any other expenses that pop up.

Jason, along with his friends and family, thank you for any and all assistance you can provide.
