Support Louis' Recovery from Heart Attack

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

I am asking for help for my son, Louis, whom many of you know as 'ShortyBeard' on his Instagram page and YouTube channel. On June 27, 2024, Louis suffered an NSTEMI heart attack. At just 40 years old and in reasonably good shape, this unexpected health crisis has been a shock to all of us.

Louis is a talented musician and sound engineer who works at a local restaurant and club that features live music on weekends. He also fills in as a guitarist for several local bands when needed. Louis gets paid by the gig and doesn't have sick leave or other benefits, so he doesn't earn any income when he can't work. Although he has some medical insurance, it is limited, and his expenses will only be partially covered. As you can imagine, the medical costs are substantial, and he will also lose his pay during his recovery.

We are asking for any help and assistance you can provide to cover the medical expenses and income loss. Your generosity will help Louis focus on his recovery without the added stress of financial burdens. Every little bit helps, and we are incredibly grateful for any support you can offer.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. Please share this campaign with your friends and family to help us reach as many people as possible.

With gratitude,
Shari - Louis' Mom
