Rally for Jut, help him through his toughest battle!

Yes, the rumors are true…Jut is back in PC!!!

He remains in the ICU, and we still have an extremely long road ahead of us. The team at Largo facilitated our transfer to be closer to home . I have not left his side for 23 days and do not plan to. I know everyone is excited and eager to see him, but visitation rules are strict here, and only immediate family is permitted at this time. Please text me with any questions ❤️

Alot has happened this past week. Here is a list of his recent accomplishments.

-Removed from Ecmo

-Removed from CRT and switched to Hemodialysis

-Removed from the ventilator and only on Oxygen through trach collar.

Thank you all for your prayers, love, and support and Please continue praying

Justin known to so many as Jut, is facing a critical battle, and we are reaching out to the community for prayers and support during this incredibly difficult time.

Jut has suffered a life-threatening aortic dissection and was airlifted to Tampa for immediate treatment. He is currently recovering from an initial surgery, but his journey is far from over. Jut has gone back into surgery, and the next 48 hours are crucial. We are holding on to hope that his heart will start circulating blood on its own. For now, he remains on the ECMO machine to help circulate his blood as he fights for his life. We are taking it one step at a time, minute by minute.

Jut is a son, father, husband, coach, business owner, best friend to so many, and a pillar of our community. He grew up in Charlotte County and has a love and passion for his family, friends, kids, football, his business, and working on his mini farm at home.

For nearly 10 years, Jut has been a part of the Bandit family, coaching football and cheer, and giving his all to kids, families, and the program. Whether he’s on the sidelines of a football game, cheering from the stands at cheer competitions, or making sure everyone has a full stomach with his famous Publix meals, he has always been there to support our community in every way he can.

One of Jut’s favorite sayings when he steps onto the field is, “How can I help?” Today, we are asking the same of you: How can you help? Your thoughts, prayers, and any support you can offer during this challenging time mean the world to us.

We are setting up this GoFundMe page to help cover medical expenses, family needs, and anything else the family may need during this recovery process. Please keep Jut, his wife Erica, their children, and their entire family and friends in your thoughts and prayers over the coming days.

We know how strong and supportive this community is, and we are so grateful for all of the love and encouragement. Let’s rally around Jut and his family in their time of need.

How you can help:

Prayers: Please keep Jut and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Share: Share this campaign with your friends and family to spread the word and bring in as much support as possible.

Donate: Any contribution, no matter how big or small, will be a huge help to the family during this difficult time.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and generosity. Together, we can make a difference. ❤️
