Assist in Joey Heifet's Final Journey
Donation protected
In June of this year, my father, Joey Heifet, suffered a major heart attack. He was given stents in his heart and a life vest to keep him alive. This was a shock to him, seeing as though his heart had never really been an issue before. Just three days later, he suffered another heart attack and was put in a coma for 11 days. He had contracted MRSA and had several infections to fight through.
After waking up, he was sent to a nursing home for 30 days to receive IV antibiotics. During this time, he lost his home and was declared disabled. He went to stay with his sister, Denise, where they worked on obtaining social security benefits. However, just 24 days after his release, on a camping trip with my cousin, his nephew, my dad woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t breathe. Craig tried his best to keep my father alive, but to no fault of his own, it was too late. He had passed right there at the campground. The ambulance tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead on arrival.
At this current time, there was no life insurance policy. And even though I would love to give him a service, funds are extremely tight at this point for everyone. This amount ONLY includes the cost of cremation and picking him up from the hospital. If anyone would be kind enough to help his family lay this self-proclaimed 'yunker' legend to rest, we would all be so thankful. If not, a simple share would do just fine!
