Odom Family Support Fund

Hello all, I am reaching out to you in great need of your support for a very important cause! My 34-year-old brother, Quillie Odom III, “A.k.a. Tre”, is currently hospitalized in the ICU on the transplant list and will be there until receiving a new heart. Quillie was born with a heart condition in utero, in which his ventricles did not fully develop. While his heart has been able to function to a limited degree for 27 years, in 2016, symptoms began to worsen, and he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF). In 2020, Quillie suffered a stroke due to further complications and has been in and out of the hospital with pneumonia, which has caused a great deal of stress on his heart. This brings us to his current state where he has left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy, which has rapidly progressed into end stage heart failure that requires him to have a heart transplant. After many procedures and months in the hospital we are in the last stage before transplant is imminent and awaiting a heart any day now. 

 

Please allow me to tell you all a little bit about Quillie. He is an amazing husband to his wife, Ashley and a dedicated father to his 4 year old daughter, Ava and an overall incredible human being!! Quillie has always been very active with sports, traveling the world with his family and he is a former Virginia Tech football player and alumni. Doctors are very optimistic that he will recover, but only with a new heart! Prior to his recent hospitalization, he started a new job, making him ineligible for the necessary medical benefits he needs to cover his medical expenses. Being out of work has also, caused a great deal of stress on his family financially, which is why I am here asking for you all to please open your hearts and to support him and his family through this very difficult time by donating whatever you can for his medical bills and any other expenses that he and his family are incurring financially while he awaits a new heart!! This will also help his family to be able to spend all available time by his side in the hospital and post operatively. Although my brother is going through one of the most unimaginable things in his life, he is always in the greatest of spirits and is the strongest and most positive person I know. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers!! It would be greatly appreciated if you all could please share and repost this message as we can use all the support we can get. Thank you all and please have a wonderful day!!
