<div>MIRACLE UPDATE — G’bari Is Going Home! 21 Days from ICU to Recovery! ✨
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Peace and Blessings, Beautiful Community —
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are back with another praise report that has us completely undone with gratitude. After 21 days in the ICU following a life-saving heart transplant — G’bari is being discharged.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let that sink in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>21 days ago, G’bari was fighting for his life on an ECMO machine. Today, he is walking into the next chapter of his recovery with a brand new heart beating in his chest. We serve an on-time God — and we are surrounded by an on-time community. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Reality- The Financial Need Is Ongoing and Significant
</div>
<div>A heart transplant is not a one-time expense. It is a lifelong commitment — and the costs reflect that reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is what G’bari’s new life requires:
</div>
<div>	•	Multiple medications — every single day, for the rest of his life. Anti-rejection medications alone run into the thousands of dollars per month. These are non-negotiable. Missing them is not an option.
</div>
<div>	•	Home modifications to make his living space safe and accessible during recovery — from mobility support to equipment needed for his care at home.
</div>
<div>	•	Weekly and biweekly hospital visits including labs, imaging, and specialist appointments that accumulate quickly in cost.
</div>
<div>	•	Home nurse visits during this transitional phase to ensure he is healing properly and safely outside of the hospital.
</div>
<div>	•	Physical therapy to rebuild his strength, stamina, and mobility as his body adjusts to its new heart.
</div>
<div>	•	Airbnb and housing costs near the hospital during these critical first weeks post-discharge.
</div>
<div>	•	 Daily living expenses for G’bari, Shantel, and family support — neither G’bari nor Shantel are able to work during this recovery season, and the bills of everyday life do not pause for healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a complete and total lifestyle shift — and it requires a village to sustain it. That is exactly what you have already been. We are asking you to stay in it with us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are at 52% of our $500,000 goal — and because of what lies ahead, we need to finish what we started.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We Are So Close — Let’s Carry Him All The Way Home
</div>
<div>G’bari has given so much of himself to this world — as a dancer, a choreographer, a teacher, a light. He has performed on stages that inspired thousands. He has taught in studios that changed lives. He has shown up for others again and again and again.
</div>
<div>Now we finish showing up for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you have already given — thank you from the depths of our souls. Please share.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you haven’t yet — now is the time. Every dollar carries him forward and we are aiming to close the GoFundMe May 1, 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Donate, share, and keep praying. G’bari’s best days are still ahead. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With overflowing love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>The entire G’bari Family 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every share is a lifeline. Every dollar is a blessing. Thank you!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
