Prayers and Support for Balloutine Family
Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,
As you may know our friend, Anthony Balloutine, has been battling COVID-19 and pneumonia for almost a month. He has been receiving incredible treatment at Hackensack Hospital for the last 3 weeks. While quarantined with COVID-19 at home, his lungs were being attacked and his breathing was becoming more labored with every day that passed. He was then admitted to the hospital and about a week later he was in critical condition and needed to be put on a ventilator. Anthony had a tracheotomy procedure shortly after and has been on an ECMO machine, which pumps and oxygenates his blood outside his body, allowing his heart and lungs to rest. These machines, along with his faith, our prayers, and God are saving his life right now! We know he is receiving the best care from the doctors and nurses in the ICU and are eternally grateful to them, but we also know the cost that care comes with. In an effort to ease this hardship and burden of the anticipated medical bills, we are asking for everyone's continued love, prayers, and support to help Ashley, Anthony, little Anthony,(6) Talia,(3) and Layla(11 months). Anthony is facing a long road to recovery, not only emotionally and physically, but medically and financially as well. All funds raised will go directly to his medical costs and related recovery treatment. Please consider donating what you can and share this page with as many people to help their family.
Anthony is 42 years young. He owns and operates the BP Gas Station in our hometown of Totowa. He works tirelessly to provide for his family and is an amazing father. He is always surrounded and blessed by his three beautiful children and wife, loving mom and dad, brother and two sisters, among his many other family and friends. All who know Anthony know he has never hesitated to help others in any way he could, whether it be a friend, a family member, or a stranger. He is strong, positive, and grateful for his life and we know he wants it back. Anthony deserves to live life as he had prior to his fight with COVID-19. We continue to pray that someday soon he will be strong enough to tell his story and to express his gratitude for everybody who stood beside him and his family in his fight.
Ashley is so grateful for everything everyone has done and continues to do for her and her family. She is humbled by all the help, the outpouring of love, prayers, friendship, food, and the countless acts of kindness everyone has shown her and her family during this very difficult time. Everyone is holding onto the hope that Anthony will continue to fight for his life and knows he wants to come home to his family. We believe in the power of prayer, so please continue praying that God blesses our friend and brings him home.
Thank you and God bless!
