As many of you know, John has been bravely battling a lung disease for some time. Unfortunately, his health took a serious turn for the worse in late August. Recognizing that something was wrong, he sought help and arrived at the Stanford emergency room with difficulty breathing. He was immediately admitted for treatment.
During his care, doctors discovered blood clots in his lungs and lower extremities. They mentioned the possibility of a lung transplant, a moment filled with emotion for John. He was later transferred to UCSF, where he was placed in the ICU. Within a week, he underwent a thorough evaluation process, including numerous tests and assessments of his support system. Thankfully, he passed these evaluations due to his overall health and the extensive support from friends and family.
Just two days after being placed on the transplant list, John was on the operating table. By the grace of God, he had a successful surgery and is now on the road to recovery.
Many of you have reached out asking how you can help. After careful consideration, John has decided to organize a fundraising event to assist with medical expenses.
To give you an overview of the recovery process: John will spend one week in the ICU for close observation, followed by another week in a regular hospital room. After that, he will remain in San Francisco for six weeks, attending daily doctor appointments and physical therapy.
We understand that times are tough for many, so any contribution, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated. Please contact myself as other arrangements can be made. Thank you to everyone who has offered support during this challenging time. We are committed to getting John back home as soon as he is healthy enough to do so.
On behalf of John, his son Adrian, daughter Asia, his brothers Halbert, Troy, Willie, Brian, Lee, Josh and our entire family, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone for your support during this challenging time. Your generosity means the world to us!
