Mark's Recovery from Sudden Hemorrhagic Stroke
Donation protected
Dearest family, friends, and members of our extended community:
We're reaching out with a heavy heart and an urgent plea for support for our beloved husband, father, and family member Mark Mirenda, who was hospitalized following a sudden and unexpected hemorrhagic stroke last week.
Mark has been a pillar of strength for his family and friends. Now, he faces a tough health challenge, with medical expenses piling up fast, so we're rallying together to support him in his time of need.
Hemorrhagic stroke is a serious, sometimes life-threatening condition that comes on without warning and can require extensive long-term care. Although Mark's initial tests indicate that he may heal without lasting neurological damage (thank goodness!), the nature of Mark's stroke requires him to stay in the ICU for at least twenty-one days to ensure that he is safely on the road to recovery. After his hospital stay, the family anticipates that there will be additional costs associated with his rehabilitation, medications, and lost wages.
We have set up this GoFundMe page to raise funds urgently required to alleviate the financial burden on Mark and his family. Your generous donation will make a real difference — no amount is too small, and every dollar will directly contribute to covering Mark's medical expenses, ensuring he gets the best care during this critical time. If you cannot donate, please consider spreading the word by sharing this GoFundMe link with your friends and family and across your social media networks.
Thank you in advance for standing alongside Mark, his wife Andrea, their sons Jack and Will, and our extended family during this challenging time. Your support means the world.
With gratitude,
The Mirenda and Joines Family
