Big E's life saving transport to SF

On Saturday Oct 27th Erik aka Big E was rushed to the hospital by ambulance.  It was discovered by doctors at UCI that he was in need of immediate open heart bypass surgery. One of his aortic valves had split and now isn't able to oxygenate his blood properly. While working on finding a hospital that is willing to take on his risky case, he has been put into a medically induced coma. UCSF is willing to take his case and preform the risky surgery but finding proper transport has been the issue.  As of today we have found private critical care transport that can rush him to UCSF. Time for Big E is critical.  We have to get him moving today! His kidneys are beginning to fail and if he's not transported today, they will need to start dialysis. He can NOT be transported if receiving dialysis. There hasn't been a hospital in Southern California that is willing to take his case or has the proper , doctor or equipment to preform the intense surgery. This is the first step in all of us fighting together to save Big E's life. Without this surgery he can't survive. 

All of you who know Big E know what an amazing man he is. His kids are his life!  He is father of the year over and over again forever!  Not just to his own children but has also been a dad to so many others that just haven't had the parents every child deserves. He'd take anyone into his home and help them. His friends are his family & his family is his world!  He would give anyone the shirt off his back. Bring you groceries if you needed them. Pick up your kids from school or take them to practice if you had to work late. I know all of us can't imagine him not being here with us.

As a family friend I am starting this go fund me to help his children Renee, Erik, and Mikayla with all of the medical expenses that are happening.  Our first goal to get this transport going today. I know I don't have to tell any of you how much Big E loves all of you, because he let's us all know every chance he gets.  Much love to you all & I will do my best to keep everyone updated through here. Please continue to pray for miracles and that Big E's body stay strong through all of this!  Know that any amount is amazing & so greatly appreciated!!!
