Help for Jason's family while he fights for life

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Joel and I've started this fund raiser for a good friend of mine and his family. Upfront disclosure, im not a writter or the best with words, its emotionally painful to even write this so I'll do my best to highlight the situation and this families needs.

Jason Soto, pictured is one of the most selfless people I have ever known. He would drop anything to help anyone, give the shirt off his back. A loving father and devoted husband. Its hard to show in just one picture this man's character.

Jason worked a full time job and commuted for three hours each day. The job sucked. Over worked and far underpaid. He and his wife also have a small hobby farm raising a couple cows and chickens. He would work full time, then work the small farm, and support his children at sporting events, etc. and also help his local community. This man worked himself sick trying to provide a good life.

Jason and his family have had such a rough year. It started with the loss of his father followed by the loss of his mother just six months the later. Now Jason himself is in the hospital fighting for his life, trying to recover from covid pneumonia. Jason, as selfless as he is, would want to kick my butt for doing this, but its the only way I could think to help him and his family. Jason, I pray you wake up, read this,, and hate me for this and know that I love you like a brother. The past three weeks in the hospital have been rough, it seems everyday is a new discovery of more bad news. From blood clots to organ failure. Jason is still fighting though. Theres no light in the tunnel just yet but we pray hard everyday that he will pull through and recover.

I can't even begin to imagine the emotion his wife is dealing with. While trying to get short term disability insurance, she was told he will get just a third of his pay and then be responsible for sending back the amount due for insurance.
Jason's wife Jen has been such a rock foundation for him. By his side everyday, doing everything in her power to keep the farm going, the house functional, being the courageous loving parent to their children, all while working a part time job at the local school. Dealing with the tragic emotions then faced with making extremely difficult decisions regarding treatment options.
As for now Jason is still hanging on and continuing to fight and is getting the best treatment possible only God knows how much is going to cost.
Anything you can contribute is something that will hopefully ease the stress on Jen and the family. This situation is not something anyone could ever plan for and I know that together as a community we can help this amazing family.
Thank you,
Joel
