We find ourselves in an incredibly difficult and unexpected situation and are reaching out for support on behalf of the Effort Robichaud family for help during this challenging time.

Yesterday, October 8, James, aka Jimmy Funtimes, was found unresponsive in his home by his wife, Tameka. He suffered four (4) cardiac arrests, which led to brain swelling and damage to his vital organs. While in a Florida hospital on life support, the family found that James also had an unknown, underlying infection that led to pneumonia.

Life has taken a devastating turn, and the shock and uncertainty of this crisis are immeasurable. To make matters even more challenging, two weeks ago, a previous employer rehired James, and because of this employment change, he is currently without health and life insurance.

Tameka, James' wife and full-time OT student, is already feeling the impact of this situation, both emotionally and financially.

The family struggles to cover possible funeral costs, ensuing medical bills, and basic daily living costs, including rent, groceries, and utilities. If anyone knows James, they know he's always worked hard for his family - working 7-days a week to maintain his family's well-being. This unexpected turn has his family in a financial crisis they never anticipated.

That's why we've started this GoFundMe campaign, hoping their friends, family, and compassionate individuals like you can help them navigate this challenging journey. Whether donating or sharing their story, your support can profoundly impact their lives.

Every dollar raised will cover mounting medical bills, securing necessary treatments and medications, if necessary, funeral arrangements, and assuring the family's needs are met during this trying time. Your generosity will bring peace of mind and much-needed relief to their family.

We know times are tough for everyone, and your support is appreciated. Your prayers, positive thoughts, and encouragement also mean the world to the family.

On behalf of Tameka and the Effort Robichaud family, they are immensely grateful for the love and support they've already received. They are hopeful that, with your help, they can focus on getting through this unexpected hardship.

With gratitude,

Friends of the Effort Robichaud Family
