Lilija Flurry - Survivor Widow 6 month living fund

I am sure that all the Chama Valley Community know Scott and his big heart.

How Scott always helps everyone in the community.

He helped me many times.

 

Well few months ago Scott got sick and even though he was fully vaccinated got Covid 19 and after 2 weeks of quarantine in his house he got transported on the Ambulance to the Espanola Presbyterian Hospital and ended up on the intensive care unit.

 

He almost died. It was very close do to his underlying condition of Asthma and damaged lungs. He was thankfully transferred to Santa Fe Hospital where they could give him treatment that led to letting him to better even more at Albuquerque Rehabilitation Center.

 

He just recently came home, this Monday and rejoined his worried wife Lilija who will be caring for him at home.
