Our friend Joe McHardy is facing an incredibly difficult and unexpected health battle, and we are asking our community to come together to support him and his family.

Joe has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure at Stanford, and his heart is currently functioning at only 15–20% despite medications and rest. His doctors are hopeful that, with treatment and time, his heart may become stronger. If his heart function improves, the next step may be a pacemaker.

However, if his heart does not become stronger, he may need to be placed on the heart transplant list.

This has been devastating for Joe and his family. As he is the main source of income for his mom Jeanie, Older Nephew: Brandon, Agustina (GiGi) 14, Rhett 13 , Bernard (Ben) 11, Parnell (Nellie) 10 . Because of his condition, he is unable to work and he is currently facing a future filled with medical appointments, treatments and recovery.

We are asking for help to ease some of the financial burden.

Donations will help with everyday living expenses, medical-related costs, transportation, food, bills, and other necessities while he is unable to work and his family navigates this incredibly challenging time.

If you are able to donate, any amount—no matter how small—will make a difference. If you aren’t able to give financially, sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family would mean just as much.

Thank you for your prayers, kindness, generosity, and support for Joe and his family during this difficult journey. ❤️
