Jason and Mara Zajdlik and their 3 children

Hello everyone,

My 49-year-old brother-in-law had a massive heart attack two weeks ago. He is being kept alive by the incredible cardiac intensive care team at Foothills Hospital in Calgary. Currently, he is on a ventilator, dialysis and a heart-lung bypass machine called ECMO. His odds of survival were less than 20 %. They increase every day, but he is not out of the woods. His road to recovery will be long and difficult. I have watched many miracles happen in the last two weeks for which I am so grateful. Now I feel compelled to help this beautiful family get through the toughest journey they will ever face. His wife Mara has not left his side. His children, Elena ( 11), Owen (9) and Vivian (6), are surrounded by family. I have known Jason since he was ten, and my heart breaks for him. Help the Zajdlik family raise enough funds to keep them afloat for the next few months. Gratitude as always, Anne-Marie
