Our family is walking through a season we never imagined, and we are leaning on our faith now more than ever.

Alex Chantasiri, who most know as AC, is a devoted husband to his wife Mandy, a loving father of five children, and a proud grandpa to five grandchildren, with one more on the way. Alex has always been a man of faith, hard work, and quiet strength. He spent his life providing for his family so Mandy could stay home to raise their children, care for their growing family, and manage their farm. He has always trusted God, worked tirelessly, and put others before himself.

Today, Alex is fighting for his life.

Alex has been diagnosed with end-stage cardiomyopathy. In just the last two months, his heart has rapidly deteriorated, landing him in the hospital where he remains today. His heart is currently being kept alive by an Impella heart pump, which is doing the work his heart can no longer do. Alex is now waiting for a heart transplant, praying that a donor heart becomes available before the pump can no longer sustain him.

Until that day comes, Alex must remain hospitalized. For someone who has always been active, working with his hands and caring for his family, this has been an incredibly challenging and humbling season. Through it all, Alex and Mandy continue to trust God’s timing and His plan, even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

The financial burden of this journey is immense:
• The heart transplant procedure is estimated to cost $1.6 million
• Lifelong anti-rejection medications will cost approximately $3,700 per month
• Home renovations and lifestyle adjustments will be needed to support Alex’s recovery and long-term health
• Lost income and ongoing medical care continue to add to the weight on the family

Alex has spent his life being the one others could depend on. Now, we are humbly asking for help in this moment of need.

Every donation will go directly toward medical expenses, medications, and the changes necessary to give Alex the best possible chance at healing and a future with his family. If you are unable to donate, we ask for your prayers, your encouragement, and for you to share this fundraiser. We firmly believe in the power of prayer and in a God who still performs miracles.

Thank you for surrounding Alex and our family with love, generosity, and faith. We are deeply grateful for every prayer, every share, and every act of kindness.

With heartfelt thanks,

the Chantasiri Family
