Help Yerby family bring Travis home

Donation protected
Our youngest brother Travis became gravely ill on his way to Hawaii from the Philippines. He was on his way to Florida to be with his family. By the time he landed in Hawaii he was complaining of stomach pain and being very tired. Five days later we took him to urgent care where he was prescribed antibiotics for a bacterial infection. Five days after that he was admitted to The Queens Medical Center where he went into cardiac arrest for 9 minutes and suffered from multiple organ failure. We made the emotional decision to remove him from life support when he was diagnosed with severe brain damage. We still do not know the cause of his illness. We are working on getting him back to Florida. We are a proud family, but we find ourselves in an overwhelming situation that we hope and pray no other family will have to endure. We are asking our friends and family who would like to donate to help us bring our brother home to please do so here. We appreciate all the prayers and inspirational words during our time of grief. Every little donation will help and to be honest this is so fresh I am not sure of what the expenses will be. ThanksThe Family
