Hello Everyone,
COVID-19 has impacted all of us over the last year and a half in some way. Unfortunately, for the Mendoza family it has taken an unbearable toll.
On February 24, 2021, Joe Mendoza had to bury his brother who passed away after battling COVID-19. It was at his brother’s funeral that Joe and several of his family members also contracted COVID. By March 16, 2021, Joe had also been admitted to the hospital with complications from COVID. Shortly after his admission to the hospital, Joe’s sister passed away from COVID related complications on March, 24, 2021 in her home.
Joe is a loving husband who has been with his wife Eva since high school (35yrs), their 26th wedding anniversary was on June 3, 2021. Joe is the sole provider for his family and a dedicated and loving father to 3 wonderful daughters. Deeandra is 18yrs old and twins Evelyn and Joselyn are 16yrs old. His daughter Joselyn has special medical needs that require 24/7 medical care. Unfortunately, while Joe has been in the hospital his daughter Joselyn has had to be moved to an assisted living medical care facility.
Joe has been a Deputy US Marshal since 1994, selflessly serving his country for over 27yrs. Even as COVID cases peaked in the US, Joe volunteered for assignments around the country.
Joe has been battling severe complications from COVID-19 since his admission to the hospital on March 16th. He has undergone dozens of medical procedures and is currently going on 11 weeks of advanced life support measures. Joe’s lungs are not functioning and as a result he is on a ventilator, he has a chest tube to prevent his lungs from collapsing, he is undergoing ECMO to oxygenate his blood and he has a feeding tube for nourishment.
Joe has a long road to recovery and many obstacles to overcome. The Mendoza family is undergoing hardships that are almost unimaginable.
We ask those of you that know Joe and those of you that don’t to pray for the Mendoza family and to give graciously to help this family on their path to recovery.
100% of all funds raised through this platform will go directly to Eva Mendoza in order to assist with medical bills and other needs for Joe and his daughter Joselyn.
