Help for Jay Potter’s Healing Journey

Jay potter a loving father, friend, brother and soulmate to Xochilt for 26 years was admitted unexpectedly to the hospital 7 days ago. Prior to being admitted Jay was being treated for hereditary complex stage 4 kidney disease that was progressing rapidly. To stave off progression he was put on an aggressive treatment that severely lowered his immune system leading to a serious infection that spread to his eyes, ear, mouth and throat causing him to be hospitalized in a pressurized room with high doses of several medications to stop infection spread. While being treated he suffered heart damage, the extent of which is still unknown.

 

Though it appears Jay has turned the corner and the infection spread has finally slowed his hospital stay will continue for a few more days. Upon release he will still need to remain on high doses of anti-viral medications to ensure the infection is gone. Add to that Jay who is the main income earner for the family will not be able to return to his construction job until his body and heart have healed.

 

This experience has caused a ton of anguish for Jay, Xochilt and their loving family. So many twists, turns and unknowns during this unexpected and scary life event. The emotional toll has been huge and the financial burden extremely costly. Xochilt and Jay are the 2 hardest working people I know, always the first to support family and friends in need while also being the last to ask for help.

 

I am reaching out to community to raise funds on their behalf that will be used to pay expenses during this very difficult time. Please share the love that both Jay and Xochilt are always so apt to give.
