Eric Salter Fund

In trying times, friends rally and meet the needs of someone dear to them.  Our friend Salty (Eric Salter) is scheduled to have a Bentall Procedure next Tuesday 4/23/19 in Minnesota to repair his aorta.  As many of you know, he had this procedure done almost 2 years ago because of an aortic dissection (a serious condition in which the inner layer of the aorta, the large blood vessel branching off the heart, tears).  Recently, his doctors discovered a large aneurysm around his heart and are scheduled to perform this surgery again immediately. He and his wife Madelen will be traveling to Minnesota this Sunday and if all goes well will be traveling back to Jacksonville May 5th.  First and foremost, we ask for your prayers that Eric has a successful surgery and recovery.  Additionally, we are raising money this week to help Eric and Madelen with the travel costs associated with this life saving surgery.  If you are able to donate to help them through this tough time, please use the link below.

Baptist Medical center did a video on Eric and his family regarding his previous surgery.  It's a few minutes long, but touching to watch.  The password is BMC_Three if you are interested in seeing his journey.
