Lio, my best friend, is a true hero. Recently, he risked his life by jumping into Lake Michigan to save a baby in distress. Without hesitation, Lio dove into the cold water and kept the baby above the surface, treading water for what felt like an eternity. Thanks to his bravery, both he and the baby made it out alive, but it was a close call that could have ended very differently. Now, Lio is in the hospital as doctors monitor his heart, which was affected by the freezing water. The medical bills are already piling up, adding stress to an already difficult situation.
Lio is a comedian in Chicago and works as a server, living paycheck to paycheck. Missing work while he recovers means he’s not only facing mounting hospital expenses but also struggling to cover his everyday costs. He’s always been the first to make others laugh and lend a helping hand, and now he needs our support more than ever.
Any support for Lio during this difficult time would mean the world. Please help him recover and get back on his feet after his heroic act. Your generosity will help cover his medical bills and lost wages, giving him the chance to heal without the added burden of financial worry.
