Help Shedrick Recover from Major Heart Attack

Hello Friends,

Two weeks ago, while on a gig at a Casino in Lake Charles, Shedrick Nellon suffered a major heart attack. Luckily, because he was at the Casino, paramedics were nearby and able to bring him back after he flatlined. He was placed in a medically induced coma and put in a ventilator for several days in the ICU, but eventually woke up and is now recovering at home and slowly but surely stronger.

Shedrick is a world class bass player and a staple in the Baton Rouge live music scene. Besides playing music, Shedrick has had a career in the movie business that was cut short due to the recent strikes in the industry. That said, before his heart attack, he was already living on a shoestring budget and without health insurance.

As you can imagine, the medical bills for his care are already stacking up and without insurance, he is 100% liable to cover those expenses. In addition, he will not be able to maintain a full gig schedule to provide income during his time recovering from such a major medical event.

We are asking the local community and beyond to come together to help Shedrick cover his medical bills. To give you an idea, he's already received $4,000.00 in bills from the emergency medical costs. This does not include the aftercare he's receiving to become strong and well again.

Please donate what you can to help Shedrick and share this fundraiser far and wide! We are working on a local fundraising event with an all star cast of musicians set for October 3rd. If you are local to Baton Rouge, please mark your calendars and keep an eye out for more info coming soon.

Thank you so much,

Shedrick's Pals
