Eddie Matranga Lifeline Fundraiser

Donation protected
My name is Randy Jackson and my good friend, Eddie Matranga, is in a crisis.

One morning Eddie woke up with 103.5 fever, extreme chills, and felt very ill. After two trips to an emergency care facility and one to an emergency room and he was given prescriptions for anti-inflammatory drugs and sent home.

On a second trip to the emergency room he was admitted to the hospital for testing.

Eddie was quickly moved to ICU and treated with antibiotics for an infection in his joints. His joints are excruciatingly painful making it impossible for him to walk.

He came near death when it was discovered he had a bleeding ulcer after spitting up blood along with huge clots from his stomach.

2 separate endoscopic procedures have been performed so far to stop the loss of blood from 2 different ulcers.

There is no diagnosis as of yet and doctors are still searching for the cause.

He is still hospitalized and whenever he is released he will have to go to a rehab facility to get strong enough to walk again.

To make matters worse Eddie’s wife, Tuli (a nurse), was hospitalized because of being septic due to diverticulitis. She is scheduled for bowel reconstruction surgery on December 1st .

He is in desperate need of funds to pay his family’s ongoing bills while he and his wife are being treated.
Any donation will be greatly appreciated and used only for his bills and essential needs.
