Donate to help Pat with medical, rent, and bills

Hi, my name is Joe and I'm helping Patrick Oliver raise funds to pay for his medical expenses and bills while he is out of work. He had a doctor's appointment last week and was hoping to be able to return to both his jobs this week, but instead, he got the terrible news that he would not be being released for work until at least December as the doctors need him to see specialists after he heals up and regains some strength.

From Patrick:

"Hello to all my friends out there in TV Land. I wish I was telling a story of how great the beach was today or how big an Ahi was caught. Sadly, I am reaching out for help and kindness. On September 20th, I was rushed to the hospital with severe pain throughout my abdomen; the doctors discovered blood leaking from my kidney, and the pool of blood had become septic. They cauterized the leak and mopped up the blood. At some point during these procedures, my heart went on strike, leaving me in cardiac arrest and dead for 8 minutes. Thankfully, though my sternum was much worse for the wear after the 8 minutes of chest compressions, they were able to bring me back to life. The doctors at this point don't know what caused either issue. I will be seeing specialists in December. With all the new medical bills on top of the day to day bills and not to be able to work, I am asking for your help and kindness to help me get through these next couple months."

A big thank you to any of you who can afford to donate or even take a minute to share this GoFund Me to spread the word to help Pat out in these tough times.
