Help for Bacarro Family

I never in a million years thought I would be starting a GoFundMe page, but I felt the need to help out a dear friend of mine whose family has been affected by COVID-19. Ruel Bacarro is a rehab nurse who works at two different nursing home facilities. He has been working the frontlines of this pandemic and was exposed to a patient with COVID-19 last week. Unfortunately, he began to feel short of breath earlier this week and was rushed to the ER by his daughter April. Ruel was found to be in severe respiratory failure and was admitted to the ICU. He has been intubated and placed on a ventilator since. Ruel tested positive for COVID-19 and has been in an induced coma. During his ICU stay, Ruel went into cardiac arrest, and now he is in kidney failure. He is fighting for his life as doctors and nurses try to do everything they can to help him. 


Ruel is a wonderful father to three amazing children. He has been risking his life working two jobs during this pandemic to support his family. With Ruel being the primary provider in his household, I felt that his family could use our support at this time to stay afloat as he continues to fight this awful virus. We are hopeful he will win this fight. Ruel is supposed to watch my beautiful friend April start nursing school this summer, and he is also supposed to walk her down the aisle in a few months. If any of you have had the privilege to get to know April, you know she has the sweetest soul and is the most giving person. Her and her family, including her father, are genuine and caring. They deserve our love and support.


I know April and the Bacarro family are going through a tough time right now, so I ask that you, please donate and support this amazing family.  No amount is too small. Thank you all for your generosity. Please pray and share your love for the Bacarro family.
