Help the Francis Family
Donation protected
This Go Fund me has been created in support of Mark Francis and his family.
On the 30th of September, unbeknownst to him and his family, Mark had a massive heart attack that Dr quoted saying “ It’s a miracle you’re still walking and alive”. After multiple examinations by the doctors it was concluded that his heart was completely blocked, all major arteries have blockage. Without an immediate procedure to place the multiple stints he’d have to undergo open heart surgery at the age 35 or forego living past the next month. Mark is the sole provider of a family of five including two children under the age of four, and a disabled wife . He was previously operating his own private valet dry cleaning service/business and because he’s a private business owner, the major decline in business side to his absence has severely impacted the families finances. His wife is unable to provide any financial support or aid the business whatsoever due to her own deteriorating health. She herself has had many extensive hospital visits prevent her from being able to assist her husband and limits her own ability to physically assist in caring for her own family and children.
As such, the unforeseen circumstances have sent the family into a whirlwind of setbacks and they are in need of dire assistance. Mark has completed one procedure which included the insertion of five stints in two of his major arteries. The three remaining arteries are completely blocked pending surgery. His condition is life threatening he’s required to have the additional procedures to clear the remainder of his blockage immediately .
Mark is currently on 9 medications just to stabilize his blood, heart, blood pressure etc ... 8 of these medications will have to remain for the rest of his life. His wife has extremely limited ability in providing assistance anywhere. She alone had over 10 surgeries and was actually released from the hospital 2 days before her husband Mark was admitted because of the massive heart attack. She is currently taking 11 medications for her autoimmune disorder, lupus, liver condition, and other health issues. She herself just underwent breast surgery in August among over 10 other various invasive surgeries within the last 5 years including liver surgery, lymph nod removal, a hysterectomy due to a multitude of surgeries involving ruptured ovarian cysts , dangerous ovarian mass which intern needed an emergency blood transfusion that could of taken her life. The list sadly continues. I am a close relative of this family and like many of you, I am looking for a way to help this loving family get through an extremely challenging time.
I have started this link to help them with the overflow of expenses they have accrued and are accruing .. expenses for medical, loss of wages, basic needs, living expenses and many unexpected expenses they are incurring as a result. Mark being the sole financial contributor of this family, and because this heart attack has disabled his ability to work and run his business, it's a direct threat to his health and life. All funds will go to Mark and Aseel and they are the only people who will be able to access these funds. We started with a goal of $25,000 but we know their expenses will far exceed this amount. This family will be immensely grateful for any aid provided in tackling their hospital bills which alone are climbing quickly and help for basic assistance for daily needs and just to keep them afloat. Please help if you can and if your heart compels you to share with family and friends please do.
Thank you and God Bless.
