Hi Everyone,

This isn’t easy to write but my brother John has been at Stanford ICU in Palo Alto since Sunday, October 19th with kidney failure and serious liver complications. He’s stable but still in critical condition. It’s been an incredibly hard and emotional time for our family and right now we’re just taking things day by day and holding onto hope.

If you know John you know that his laugh fills a room, his heart is huge and he loves his family and friends deeply. Seeing him like this has been heartbreaking, but we’re staying strong and believing in his fight.

My parents have been by his side every single day, staying at a hotel near the hospital so we can be close to him. Between the hotel, food and travel costs, it’s quickly becoming a financial strain on top of everything else we’re carrying emotionally.

I started this GoFundMe to help ease that weight so our family can focus fully on supporting him through this fight. All donations will go directly toward their lodging, meals and medical related expenses that continue to add up.

If you’re not in a place to give, please know that your prayers, positive thoughts, and messages mean just as much. My family and I are deeply grateful for any love or support during this time.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for thinking of us and for keeping John in your prayers.

With love,

Jamie Cortez
