Dan Belair Medical Fund

Donation protected
This is my mother and the love of her life, Dan Belair. Which is exactly what he's fighting for right now, his life. 
Dan suffered a major heart attack April 8th in Sitka, an island in SE, Alaska. The hospital couldn't provide the care he needed so he and my mother were promptly Medi Vac'd to a prestigious hospital in Seattle, WA where they have been taking amazing care of him, although sadly, it's being spent in the ICU. He's struggled through the cardiology ICU, now he's fighting in the medical/oncology ICU. And hey, nobody wants to be in any type of ICU. 
Throughout these weeks and any span of days given, he's taken many steps forward followed by many back, and we're not done walking. Dan has yet to be able to breathe without assistance and he can barely form words.
He's battled two types of pneumonia and a systemic infection. He's been heavily sedated or confusingly frustrated the majority of this battle and we're praying that will all soon change. In these exhaustingly scary and emotional times the last thing I want my family to worry about are the day to day living expenses. My mom has been sleeping either in a chair or on the floor of the hospital during these fragile times and isn't able to return to work, as she's Dans voice when he can't speak. Their life is in Sitka yet the care needed is here in Seattle. Being away from home is hard, and I promise they want nothing more than to go there, but he has this battle to fight, and needs help.  
The cost of living on an island is more than most of you may know, given the methods of shipping required, so every dollar, EVERY dollar helps. ❤️This is a man who lives for music and sports, and engaging in conversations about them both. He is a large part of this small community, and his voice is truly missed.
