Assist Joyia Patrick in funeral expenses.

Dear Friends and Community,

With immense gratitude and a hopeful heart, I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friends, Joyia and David Patrick. Yesterday, David faced a severe medical crisis that brought him to the brink. Suffering from a GI condition that caused internal bleeding and organ failure, he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. The doctors feared the worst and reported that he might not survive the night. His condition was critical, and they even ran out of blood to transfuse him.

Despite the dire circumstances, David's family never gave up. He was transported to the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah, where he underwent a risky surgery. Thankfully, David is now recovering in the ICU, though his journey to recovery will be long and challenging. He will remain in the ICU for several weeks, requiring constant support from his family.

David Patrick is known to many as a generous, loving, and hardworking farmer who has selflessly served our community. As the sole income earner for his family, David's situation is especially tough. His family is now faced with significant travel, lodging, and meal expenses to stay by his side during this critical time.

We are reaching out to ask for your support to help cover these essential expenses so that Joyia and their loved ones can focus on being there for David. Your contributions will make a tremendous difference in helping them navigate this difficult period.

1. Donate: You can make your contributions to Joyia’s Venmo account at @Joyia-Patrick-1.

3. Prayers: Your thoughts and prayers are deeply appreciated as David continues his recovery.

Thank you for your kindness and support. Every bit helps and means the world to this family during such a challenging time.

With gratitude,

Elicia Garza
