Help Support Mark Foust and His Family Through His Heart Transplant Journey

JUNE 15, 2025 - Heart Transplant Day
"God's Got This - Mark Foust's Journey"

Psalm 73:26 - "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart."


Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Supporters,

We are reaching out on behalf of Mark Foust, a beloved husband, father, and friend, who is currently facing the fight of his life.

After more than a month at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Mark has been on a heart pump while awaiting life-saving treatment. Doctors at Hopkins determined that a transplant surgery was too risky to perform there. Mark was recently transported by medical flight to Vanderbilt University Hospital in Tennessee, where, after a battery of extensive tests, he was officially placed on the heart transplant list.

By the grace of God and the tireless work of his medical team, Mark is scheduled to receive a donor heart today at 5 PM.

While this is the miracle we’ve all been praying for, it’s just the beginning of a long and challenging journey. After the transplant, Mark will require close medical monitoring and rehabilitation for at least a year. This means that his devoted wife and daughter will need to temporarily (1year) relocate to Tennessee to be near Vanderbilt as he recovers.

This fundraiser has been created to help ease the financial burden on the Foust family during this incredibly difficult time. Funds raised will go toward:

  • Housing and living expenses in Tennessee, while maintaining home in Md
  • Travel and transportation
  • Uncovered medical expenses
  • Loss of income during recovery

Mark is a fighter with an unwavering spirit, and his family has shown incredible strength through this process. Your support — whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign — will make an enormous difference in helping the Fousts focus on what matters most: Mark’s healing and recovery.

Thank you for your prayers, love, and generosity.

With grateful hearts,
The Friends and Family of Mark Foust
