Tim Gooley Medical Expenses

The Gooleys
Even after raising four boys, Tim & Joni knew their family wasn’t complete, so in 2009 they adopted three incredible children and finally felt whole.
Then in the summer of 2010, as they were beginning to build new memories as a family, Tim was diagnosed with Disseminated Histoplasmosis and forced to go on disability and step away from full time pastoral ministry.
For the last eight years, the Gooleys have spent much of their time in emergency rooms and doctor’s offices, searching for answers and praying for healing. As doctors began to manage the initial diagnosis, another came: Vasculitis in the form Bechet's Syndrome . On top of his diagnoses, he’s battled recurring pneumonia, sepsis and had two heart attacks. And the last nine months have been the hardest of all. Tim missed his brother’s funeral, his eldest son’s wedding, a son’s law school graduation and a family trip to California. He received a third diagnosis, mycobacterium (MAC), broke his right hip and was left bedridden after an emergency knee replacement four weeks ago.
On April 15, 2018 after a severe vasculitis flare left him hospitalized and delirious from the pain, Tim was airlifted to the Cleveland Clinic to give specialists another shot at treating him.
Throughout this journey, family members, the community and their church stepped up, offering prayers and everyday support, as Joni split her time between caring for Tim, raising the three youngest children and working full time as the guidance counselor at Lake Park Elementary.
People often ask how they can help, so we’ve created this page on behalf of the Gooleys as a practical resource to come alongside them in this difficult time.
The purpose of this fundraising effort is to help offset healthcare costs accumulated in battling eight years of chronic illness. Specifically, there is an immediate need to cover the $20,000 airlift to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio(not covered by insurance).
The family appreciates your prayers and couldn’t have made it this far without you. To help us get the word out, please share this link via your social media.
Please check back here for updates.
If you would like to make a tax deductible gift we are working towards setting up a fund which we will update here.
In prayer,
