I now have Stage 4 Advanced Heart Failure and am awaiting Heart Transplant. I’ve been moved to status 1. I’ve been moved to a skilled nursing facility currently.  Due to the inability to work, I'll need as much help as possible to help pay for the cost of lodging while going through recovery having to be near the hospital, rejection medications, travel to and from hospital visits, and cost of other long term medications. I had a heart attack in April 2023, which led to Heart Failure. That has now progressed to an advanced stage. I have been fighting this for over 2 1/2 years. My EF has dropped to 15, and I'm on a life vest as well. I've developed arrhythmia issues as well. I've been in and out of hospitals numerous times over the past 3 months.

I'm a father of one 16-year-old son who is my entire life. I'm a follower of God, and He has guided me to this point. I also love my Tennessee Vols. I don't want to give up this fight, and I unfortunately will need help to continue it. Thank you all for your support through all of this. It's been a very hectic and difficult journey. My family and I greatly appreciate any support. It means the entire world to me.
