God Bless Ray & Yolanda Gomez. They have both lost their fight with COVID......
Prayers are greatly appreciated, but the family needs help with mounting medical bills, and now funeral and memorial expenses.
Everyone needs to know the truth about how quickly COVID-19 can affect someone.
Ray became ill on 6/24/20, his oldest daughter Mary Lou’s, birthday. The following day Mary Lou took him to the emergency room where he tested positive with COVID-19 and was admitted. Mary Lou also took her son (Ray and Yolanda’s grandson) Joshua, who is an Army Veteran, to the emergency room where he too tested positive and was admitted. Yolanda was tested next and her results were positive as well however, she was able to return home with mild symptoms initially. Two days later Yolanda’s condition worsened and was admitted to the hospital with much more severe complications from COVID-19.
Ray, was very recently placed on a ventilator after many other attempts to help him beat the virus. The doctors and care team in the ICU are keeping a watchful eye while they let machines breathe for him, feed him, and hydrate him. They are monitoring all vitals and body functions for signs of stress or improvement. Yolanda was transferred to ICU recently as well. She has been given a plasma transfusion and 2 antibiotics. After more attempts with medications/treatments, if her condition does not improve, she too could be put on a ventilator.
Ray Gomez, 75, grew up poor but worked hard and became a successful small business owner of a tailor shop in Temple and then in Austin. He married the love of his life Yolanda, 73, and taught her how to sew. She then became a master of her craft, and has an alteration reputation unmatched by any. They are well respected in their community and loved and adored by all, including their four daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We pray they will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this September but COVID-19 is taking its toll!
Please, if you can find it in your heart to help Ray and Yolanda, it would be immensely appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
