Help Dad recover from open heart surgery

Donation protected
On December 26, 2020 my Dad was admitted to Johnston-Willis Hospital with heart failure. Come to find out his heart was only functioning at about 15% and they needed to make his heart stronger before attempting surgery. Since then he has been transferred to Chippenham Hospital, and VCU/MCV hospital shortly after. The team of doctors and surgeons at VCU/MCV have helped to increase his heart function to 25-35% and will be operating tomorrow morning performing a triple bypass open heart surgery. Not being able to have visitors due to the COVID pandemic has been a detriment because my Dad finds strength in family and in God. 

My Dad has the biggest heart of anyone I know. He's a humanitarian, an extraordinary Father, and a good Christian man. Not only has he helped others find faith, but he gives selflessly to charities, especially animal shelters, and continuously opens his heart and home to dogs that need rescuing. His three children, and three grandchildren mean the world to him. He's always believed in the healing power of love and prayer, and he's in need of all the love and prayer you can spare.

My family and I come to to you to ask for donations for his medical bills as he does not have health insurance and the bills have already started to pile up after only 3 weeks in the hospital. After surgery tomorrow he will need recovery and physical therapy. It will be a long road until he's fully healed, but we don't want financial hardship to hinder his healing process and overall health. If you're able to donate anything at all to help cover his expenses, we couldn't be more thankful. If all you can give right now is love and prayers, we greatly appreciate that as well. Anything for my Dad. We think the world of him and I can't imagine my world without him. 

Much love and light,

Richie, Kristen, Michele, & Kathy
