Support Larry after a life-threatening heart emergency

Donation protected


Our dear friend Larry is in the fight of his life.

Just days ago, Larry suffered a major heart attack that led to his heart stopping 11 different times. Thanks to incredible medical intervention and what can only be described as a miracle, Larry survived but he is far from out of the woods.

Larry is currently in the cardiac ICU, where he remains on a ventilator and requires mechanical assistance to keep his heart functioning. The damage to his heart is severe, and the road ahead will be long, uncertain, and physically and emotionally exhausting.

Through all of this, his husband Matt has not left his side. But as the days turn into weeks, the financial burden of this medical crisis is becoming overwhelming. Between the extended ICU stay, mechanical cardiac support, ongoing treatments, and the likelihood of long-term rehabilitation, the costs will be staggering. On top of that, Matt is facing lost income as he focuses on caring for Larry during this critical time.

Why We’re Asking for Help

Larry and Matt are the kind of people who show up for everyone else—quietly, generously, without hesitation. Now, they need us to show up for them.

Your contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward:

ICU and hospital costs

Mechanical heart support and specialized cardiac care

Rehabilitation and long-term recovery expenses

Household and living costs

Any unexpected medical needs that arise
