Please consider donating to this beautiful
family as Sheldon (Anthony) is in the hospital fighting for his life against Covid-19. Ever since Sheldon was a boy, he had juvenile diabetes. As he grew older, the disease took a toll on various parts of his body, including his kidneys. Amongst other medical events through the years, Sheldon experienced a stroke, and then went into renal failure; it became evident that he needed a kidney donor as soon as possible. As divine intervention would have it, his wife Dawn Cole Goldberg was a perfect match! Approximately two years ago, Dawn selflessly gave her kidney to save the love of her life. This past November, the family received the news that a matching pancreas was available for him, and Sheldon underwent surgery again. This afforded him the opportunity to be a non-diabetic for the first time in his life. It would also help preserve his precious new kidney. Unfortunately, the recent surgery, coupled with immune suppressing antirejection medication, made Sheldon more susceptible to severe Covid-19 infection.
Sheldon and his family were diagnosed with Covid-19 in January. Sheldon has been in the ICU since shortly thereafter. Each day has brought a new challenge. He had two exploratory procedures to find and correct a bleed, and was placed on a ventilator. When his lungs did not respond properly, he was switched over to ECMO, a machine which replaces the function of the heart and lungs. Most recent, air has formed around his lungs, and a tube may need to be placed in his side to remove it. The doctors have said that it will be a very extensive recovery process.
Aside from Sheldon’s medical issues, Dawn and the four children have various medical needs such as celiac, diabetes and Hashimotos. Never once, through their tribulations, have they asked for assistance or dwelled in the negative. In fact, they make an effort to live each day with a positive attitude; finding the bright side in any situation. The Goldberg family is the first to volunteer to lend a hand to those in need. Now, let us help hold their family up during this time of trouble, by sending support back their way. If you can find it in your heart to donate to the Goldberg family in order to help with living expenses and extraneous medical bills, that would be greatly appreciated. No amount is too small! If not, please offer a prayer for Sheldon’s healing and for the family. Thank you.
