It is with heavy hearts that we reach out to our family, friends and neighbors humbly asking for your help and support during a challenging time.

Our beloved father has been battling a relentless disease called pulmonary fibrosis. His health is rapidly declining, and our only hope is a major surgery specifically a double lung transplant. We’ve been working tirelessly with the great people at Stanford medical facility, and we are confident that this will save Dad’s life.

Dad is a man who never asked for anything he couldn’t work for and earn on his own. He’s a man who’s always put other people‘s needs ahead of his own. He enlisted in the army at 17 he gave 31 years of service to the Armed Forces and retired as E7 Sergeant first class.

He later retired from his civilian job as well. He raised five children three from his first marriage and two that belong to his second wife, one of whom became disabled and left with epilepsy.

So Dad has by no means had an easy or luxurious life, but through hard work, dedication and commitment he succeeded in this game we call Life, just to have it stripped away by an illness like this.

Heck if I could I’d give him my lungs because if anyone deserves to live its him so please give this veteran, this hard worker, this husband and father of five a chance to live.

We need to raise $10-$15,000 for expenses, not covered by insurance along with transportation and lodging. Anything helps and please pray for our family.

This go fund me is for:

SGT. first class
