Help Save Big Poppa

Dale Heil is fighting for his life again. Many of you know that in 2014 he contracted endocarditis and had to have 2 heart valves replaced. Since then, his vibrant personality and uncrushable spirit has lead to a remarkable recovery. But this winter he caught the flu, and it turned to pneumonia. He is on life support in San Antonio. Although he is expected to recover, he and his family are in need of your help.

Many of you have been on the receiving end of Dale’s generosity- he has literally given the shirt off his back to so many. I can’t count the times he has come home from work and scoured through his closet, looking for dress pants and shirts, ties, shoes, and suit jackets to bring to work for someone who needed them. Or the countless hours he has spent training others so that they may succeed.

Dale Heil has a spark that is uniquely his own but uses it to bring up everyone around him. He has earned his title of husband and father in ways that fill my heart with so much respect and love.

Please help us make his recovery a peaceful nurturing period. God is watching over him, and all prayers are welcome. Let his good works multiply forth so that his spirit will continue to shine in this world.

If you have any stories or pictures that you would like to share, it would bring us such joy. Dale would love to see them when he is off the ventilator.

Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, and contributions.

The Heil Family
