Support Chris’s Heart Transplant Journey

Hi everyone,

We’re putting this together for our friend Chris — a loving dad, dependable friend, and all around amazing human.

After a long road managing a congenital heart defect, Chris is now on the road to recovery after receiving a new heart. It’s a huge step and one that comes with a lot of challenges — physically, emotionally, and financially.

Chris’s two young sons are his whole world. While he focuses on a long recovery, we’re hoping to rally support to help ease the burden and make sure his kids are well cared for along the way.

Your support will help with:

Chris is the kind of person who shows up when people need him. He’s not one to ask for help, but this is one of those moments when a little extra support can make a huge difference.

If you’re able to give — whether it’s $5 or $500 — every dollar truly helps. And if you can’t give right now, sharing this page would mean the world to Chris and everyone who loves him.

Thanks so much for being part of Chris’s support team as he takes on this next chapter. The surgery was daunting, and the road to recovery post-transplant will be long and demanding — months of rest, rehab, medications, and follow-up appointments. It’ll take everything Chris’s got (plus a little help from all of us). But we’re so excited to see him come out the other side of this stronger and healthier, and we can’t wait to see him back in the stands, cheering on his boys at football and basketball games, right where he belongs.

Thank you,

Valerie Surrett and Taylor Cromartie
