Tanya is raising funds for her sister and her fiancé, CJ, as they face the hardest time of their lives. CJ, only 38 years old, is currently in the ICU fighting for his life with end stage liver disease. Over the last month, he became very sick and was admitted to the hospital last week. He is in need of a liver transplant, but first he needs to get stronger. As if this medical crisis were not devastating enough, CJ does not have medical insurance, and the hospital bills are already piling up quickly. At the same time, Tanya’s sister is under so much mental and emotional stress that working has become impossible right now, and her own personal bills are also falling behind.

Every day, Tanya’s sister makes the hour-long trip to and from the hospital, often multiple times, to be by CJ’s side. This fundraiser will help ease some of the burden by covering medical bills, personal bills, travel expenses, and potentially end-of-life expenses if the family is faced with that heartbreaking reality. CJ is a fun, loving, and caring person who is deeply loved by his close family, including his nephews and niece, and everyone is praying for the chance to bring him home. Tanya is asking for help, prayers, and support for CJ and her sister during this unimaginable time. Any donation, no matter the size, will mean so much to this family and help them focus on what matters most: being together and fighting for CJ.
