Help support Joe & Tracy Lanoue
Donation protected
Hello Friends & Family,
Myself and my cousin Melissa have set up this gofundme page to help support her dad (Joe Lanoue) and her mom (Tracy Lanoue) during this difficult time of need.
On Saturday, November 25, 2023 my uncle Joe had a pretty significant stroke. He was not able to speak and lost most of the ability to use his hands. Luckily he was able to walk to my aunt Tracy and alert her that something was wrong. My aunt Tracy got him to the hospital near their home during a snow storm. Uncle Joe had to be med flighted to the hospital in Denver, CO. Which is 4 hours away from their home. The doctors gave him a dose of TPA to help the effects of the stroke. He had a blood clot at the base of his brain. Unfortunately, the medication caused his brain to bleed. On November 26, 2023 he had brain surgery to help stop the brain from bleeding. The surgery was successful in that it stopped the bleeding. The next few days will be imperative to his healing process.
We are all very thankful that his surgery was successful and that he is still with us today. His recovery will be a long road. The financial burden of medical expenses and lost wages is going to take a toll on them.
We are asking that if you are financially capable and that you can find it in your heart, please make a donation. Any amount will help. If you are not able to donate please share this post. Prayers and positive energy are welcomed.
Sincerely, Melissa & The Lanoue Family
