Hello family, friends, and community.

We are reaching out asking for your support to help Eric Kuglin get through this difficult time.

My dad, Eric, was diagnosed with a serious and severe heart condition that will require open-heart surgery and an aortic valve replacement. Since his diagnosis, the condition has worsened, and he is at risk of heart failure. He hasn't been able to work for the past month as his doctors advised no strenuous activity and he does home remodeling for a living. He will not be able to resume activity for months after the surgery. As the main source of income for his household, this is a tremendous burden. He cannot file for disability as he is an independent contractor.

If you know my dad, you know he has dedicated so much of his life to being of service and helping others. He is present and active with his family- wife, 3 children, 4 grandchildren, siblings, and a host of friends plus community. He has given so much of his love and time back to this world and now he needs our help.

Eric has been admitted at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles since 9/11 and is awaiting his open-heart surgery at the end of this week.

Any donations contributed will go towards medical bills and household expenses.

Please share his story and know that any support, love, and prayers are greatly appreciated.
