Help Heal John Clark's Heart
Don protégé
Dear friends,
We are reaching out to you because we need your help! We are trying to help John Clark and his family. As some of you may know, John has been in the hospital for his second admission this year since 01/28/2021.
What began this difficult journey for John was a COVID diagnosis on 12/28/2020, this battle with COVID caused John’s heart to start V-tacking and John’s first admission to the hospital was on 12/31/2020. John has had heart and health issues in the past, but this time was different due to the complication created by COVID.
On 02/02/2021 John had an ablation performed on the right side of his heart; it was during this procedure that John stopped breathing so they were unable to continue with the surgery. On 02/04/2021 the doctors had planned to perform a second ablation on the left side of his heart but unfortunately John’s heart was too weak to withstand this procedure. Due to the weakness of the heart John was moved to the ICU, and the decision was made to sedate him and put him on a ventilator so they can use a balloon pump to help his heart to pump better.
The effects of this illness are devastating to John and John’s family but if you know John then you know even through these struggles he has been in the best of spirits and doing all he can to assure everyone everything will be ok. John’s daughter Hannah said John woke yesterday, he pointed to his face, then to his heart, and then to her telling her he loved her. What a blessing to have that moment with each other.
On 02/11/21 the doctors decided that LVAD was the best decision for John. On 02/12/21 John underwent open heart surgery and will be in the hospital at least another 3 weeks.
As John recovers, we would like to help him and his family have one less thing to worry about, EXPENSES. We are raising money to help John and his family with the medical and daily expenses he is incurring while in the hospital. To know John Clark is to have a gentle giant as a friend. He has the biggest, most kind heart in the world. He helps anyone in need whether it is to help with your vehicle, move a heavy item, pray on your behalf, or just be a good listener. John is always there for you. He is the person everyone calls on because unfortunately NO is not in his vocabulary. John would give his last $20 to buy everyone lunch.
We know this is a difficult time for everyone and even if you cannot give, we ask kindly for your prayers.
With God all things are Possible.
Loving Father, you bring healing to the sick and make them well again.
We lift up John who is in need of healing of his heart.
Hear our prayers and bring John into your loving presence.
Let the grace of your divine love flow to the different parts of his body,
Touch his heart and all the areas afflicted with sickness
Bring healing to all his nerves, muscles, and tissues,
especially those surrounding his heart.
Console him, ease his pain and suffering and restore him
to full health in body, mind, and spirit.
May he find hope in his suffering and offer it as a share in your own passion.
Create a new heart in him and renew his life,
And after he has been healed, may he be a witness of your
healing power and love and bring glory, honor, and praise to you.
All these we pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
