Help lil Brother, a Father, My Parents, his Son

Donation protected
My little Brother, Craig, was admitted to the Hospital this past Monday Night, April 17th, for the second time in a couple of months, the first time we never got definitive answers and he was released. This time has proven to be far more serious, far more life threatening than we could have imagined. Craig has been in the ICU since Wednesday, on a ventilator, hanging on for life. The doctors have since discovered bacterial pneumonia amongst other issues, and my family didn't know if he would make it past Thursday night. Thank God for the amazing Doctors and Nurses by his side.

Craig has shown improvement in the last day to two. My brother is a Union Plumbler and a hard working man, his son is 18, Devin, and loves his Dad immensley and continues to remain by his dad's side while he prays for recovery.

My brother does not get paid as a Union Plumber if he is not working, and all I want is to allow him to not worry about money and be able to recover if he is actually able to walk away from the hospital at all. He is still on a ventilator and we hope in the upcoming days he will be able to come off the ventilator, best case scenario would be tomorrow.

Regardless, Craig would do anything for me, this is the least I can do for him, he will need recovery time and he will be overloaded with massive Medical Bills and everything else with recovery. Please help if you have the ability to do so, and do not worry if you dont. Gofund me allows you to donate without paying any fees and or if you have extra money you can pay a fee to help support their platform. Thank you all for helping my Brother, my parents, and his son Devin, and allowing my Brother Craig the best opportunity at a chance to live.

I will continue to provide updates as I have been inundated with calls and texts and have not been able to respond to everything. Thank You!

UPDATE #1: 4/23/23 3:00 PM

Doctors removed Ventilator and he is breathing now on his own. Will remain in ICU through the night, he still has tubes inserted in his neck going to his heart. This is great news and he is showing signs of major improvement. He still has a long road to recovery but we are on the right path. Thank you for the outpouring of support both financially and via sending well wishes and prayers Craig and our families way. In less than 24 hours we have surpassed raising 3K for him. We are also looking into his short term disability benefits to potentially provide additional assistance. Again, apologies if I have not responded personally to your texts as the support has been overwhelming. I will keep everyone updated on here though. Thank You All!!!
