The Zeke Melendez Family Support Fund

Donation protected
Due to COVID19 disease complications our dear friend Zeke is now fighting for his life. Zeke is a Respiratory Care Practitioner who contracted COVID19 and was hospitalized on March 27th due to complications. He is still in critical condition.

Zeke has given so much to his family, friends and patients every day. His love of life, travel and laughter gives us hope in his community showing up for support during his time of CRITICAL need. His medical expenses are only a part of the story.  Zeke worked hard to support his family, who are now struggling with both the emotional toll and financial hardship this illness has caused. 

We are reminded of the importance of commUNITY to help us through these difficult times. Zeke always helped others and now he needs our help!

We hope you will join us in support during this unimaginable time in our lives by giving what you can.

No amount is too small
No gift too little
Every act of kindness and support is felt & appreciated

In Zeke's own words, "Life is one crazy rollercoaster ride in which you will have your heart and mind go through ups and downs and thrown loops where friends and family will add joy and others will attempt to take it from you, and your love life will be beautiful and can be terrible, but at the end just remember to smile and enjoy the ride because this journey only lasts one lifetime." 

Your contribution goes directly to Zeke & his family during this fight for his life. Thank you and may you all stay healthy during this crisis.
