Hi! My name is Danielle and my papa Chaka is in the hospital here in Dallas. He has severe pneumonia and has been sedated and placed on a ventilator for the past two weeks. As many people know, Chaka is a member of IATSE Local 127 here in Dallas. The pandemic really caused him financial hardship due to lockdowns that prevented conventions, shows, and other events for the union. As many already know he has been dealing with other medical conditions for the past few years. This fund is to raise money to help cover medical expenses and help prevent him from losing his house while he is laid up in the hospital. All donations will go towards paying his bills and expenses, which could continue to mount depending on the length of time he remains on the ventilator and hospitalized. Any remaining funds (if there are any) will be donated to the Armenian Language and Culture Program at his church in Carrollton, TX. Thank you for your support and care.
