Lange’s ICU Battle: Help Fund His Road to Recovery

Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Strangers,

We are reaching out today with heavy hearts and an urgent plea for help. Our beloved Lange recently faced a severe medical crisis that has left him fighting for his life. On August 17th, he was rushed to the hospital after going into diabetic ketoacidosis. His condition rapidly deteriorated, causing his heart to stop for about three minutes. Thanks to the extensive and urgent efforts of the doctors, he was successfully resuscitated, but he then went into heart and organ failure. This crisis required a medically induced coma, and since waking up, Lange now depends on a tracheotomy and a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube for survival. For the past three and a half weeks, he has been in the ICU on life support, facing an incredibly challenging battle. His doctors have told us it’s nothing short of a miracle that he is still alive and fighting so hard.

As he begins the journey towards recovery, Lange will need to transfer to a specialty hospital for continued care, focusing on weaning off the ventilator and extensive rehabilitation to regain his ability to breathe and move on his own again. The road ahead will be long and filled with challenges, but with the right care and support, we believe he can overcome these obstacles and reclaim his health.

We are reaching out to you — our extended family, friends, and compassionate community — for support during this difficult time. Your generosity will make a significant difference in Lange’s recovery and help alleviate the financial burden on our family.

Your contributions will go directly towards:

Lange is someone who brightens every room with his warmth and energy. His incredible ability to make people smile and laugh, coupled with his strength and kindness, shines through in every interaction. He is always there for countless friends and family, ready to help with whatever they need. Lange also devotes much of his time to rescuing and rehoming animals and volunteers at reserves, pouring his heart into causes he deeply cares about. The way animals instinctively love and trust him speaks volumes about his genuine goodness and caring nature.

Now, as he faces this severe health crisis, it’s his turn to receive the support and care he’s always given to others. He’s shown us that his fighting spirit is as strong as ever, and we’re committed to standing by his side every step of the way.

We are deeply grateful for any support you can provide and for the outpouring of love and encouragement we have already received. Your kindness and generosity mean more to us than words can express.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to securing the care Lange needs and offers our family hope in this dark time. If you are unable to contribute financially, please help by sharing his story and keeping him in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for being a part of Lange’s journey to recovery. Together, we can make a difference and help him find his way back to health.

With heartfelt thanks and appreciation,

Ivana, his sister, and Alison his mom. ♥️

A Difficult Year

In addition to the recent medical crisis, it’s important to share the significant hardships Lange has faced over the past year. Lange was involved in two car accidents that he was not at fault for, including a particularly harrowing incident where he was struck by a drunk driver. These accidents have had a profound impact on his life, both physically and emotionally. Despite his efforts to recover, the aftermath of these crashes has added to his struggles, contributing to the difficult year he has endured.

Lange has shown incredible resilience and determination throughout this period, working hard to regain his strength and return to normalcy. He was finally beginning to show signs of significant recovery from these accidents when he suffered his current medical crisis. This latest battle has been especially challenging, and Lange’s journey to recovery is far from over.

The healing process from his recent medical emergency will be long and demanding, and it’s crucial to acknowledge the compounded challenges he has faced over the past year. Your support is more important now than ever, as it not only helps cover the costs associated with his current care but also provides much-needed relief as he continues to navigate the aftermath of these traumatic events.

With your generosity, we can help Lange overcome this incredibly tough period in his life and support him as he rebuilds his health and strength.
