Hearts United: Rally Behind Larry's Medical Battle

Aloha Family, Friends and Supporters ❤️

My name is Kealoha and I am reaching out to you all with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency to seek your help and support for my amazing friend Brandie Lei regarding her husband, Larry who is facing an unprecedented health challenge.

Recently, Larry suffered a massive heart attack, leaving him in critical condition. The medical team here at Kaiser Moanalua has indicated that he now urgently needs both a heart and kidney transplant to have a chance to continue this life with his family. This unexpected turn of events has not only taken an emotional toll on this family but has also placed an immense financial burden on them.

Larry, along with his wife Brandie Lei and their two children, is facing the challenge of having to leave there home in Hawaii to seek medical care at Cedar Sinai hospital in California. Larry is expected to stay there for an estimated three months for his recovery. This means they are grappling with the financial burden of covering flights, lodging, and daily expenses during this period.

Larry is an incredibly kind and selfless man.

What makes Larry's situation even more poignant is his history of selflessness. A few years ago, he was diagnosed with kidney failure, leading to regular dialysis sessions. Just a year ago, Larry received approval for his kidney transplant and had funds set aside for this purpose. However, tragedy struck when he lost his father, and in an act of deep love and selflessness, Larry used the reserved transplant money to provide his father with a dignified funeral service.

The financial strain of the upcoming medical journey is immense, and I am reaching out to our family and friends in hope that we can come together to support Larry, Brandie Lei, and their children during this trying time.

The medical expenses for these life-saving procedures, combined with the ongoing costs of care, have created an overwhelming financial hardship. I have established this GoFundMe fundraiser to help alleviate some of the financial stress that comes with such a critical medical situation. Your contributions will go directly towards Larry's medical bills, post-transplant care, and family lodging, food, and necessary lifestyle adjustments. Every dollar counts, and your support will make a significant difference in helping Larry get the surgery and treatment he needs.

We also kindly ask that you share this message with your loved ones. The more people who know Larry's story, the greater the chance we have of reaching our fundraising goal and giving him a fighting chance at a new lease on life.

Your generosity and compassion during this challenging time are deeply appreciated. Larry and his family are grateful for any support you can provide, whether it be financial, through sharing his story, or keeping them in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for standing by Larry and his family as they navigate this difficult journey.

With so much LOVE,

KEALOHA
