Dear fellow friends,
My name is Ray Weaver, and I have been a friend of Jeff's since the day he nick-named me "Sting-Ray" in the Summer of 1987 at Camp Ozark. We served as co-counselors for 6 weeks that summer, and we have remained the best of friends through all of these years. I could write countless stories about my "Sting" brother and our friendship, but for now - I'd like to share the brief story of what's been going on in Jeff's life recently.
Before the pandemic devastated our country, Jeff was excited about the many projects he had underway and what was to be the “biggest year in a very long time” for him and his business. However, like most in the entertainment industry, Jeff was heavily impacted by the pandemic shut down as every project was postponed indefinitely or cancelled. Nevertheless, he was able to navigate the mounting obstacles and survived 2020 with a few consulting projects; and worked tirelessly to regain his footing for 2021. By late March, he already had a solid schedule of new business projects booked for the year.
In early April, Jeff began to not feel well and called a doctor. After a few days of resting at home and not feeling any better, he went to a local outpatient clinic to be evaluated where he learned that what appeared to be a bad sinus infection was actually a much more serious medical condition. The doctor was very alarmed as his oxygen level registered dangerously low at 66 (well below the normal range of 95-99), and he was immediately sent to the ER. There, he was diagnosed with COVID-19, double pneumonia, and a mysterious bacterial infection in his lungs. He was admitted to the hospital in critical condition, placed on 100% high flow oxygen support and ushered to the intensive care unit where he wasn't given much hope of surviving...yet, he did!
Jeff’s RECOVERY battle at home began May 23rd, after 46 days in the hospital. As he fights daily to regain strength and restore his health and wellness through rest, therapy, multiple medications and frequent doctor appointments, Jeff needs our financial support to help cover these expenses as well as the cost of daily living. He has been unable to work since he became ill in early April; and now - the cumulative & residual impact of his illnesses continue to render him unable to work and generate income for the next 8-10 months, minimally.
Please accept this invitation to bless and support him with prayer and a generous financial contribution that will provide him with the tools and care he requires for a full recovery in the months that follow.
Jeff's talents and gifts are meant to shine as a bright light for all to experience, as he boldly lives his faith in every aspect of his life. Together, we can ensure that his best life is still to be experienced!
On Jeff's behalf, THANK YOU!
Sincerely, Ray Weaver A/K/A "Sting-Ray"
