Support Gabe Ballard

On October 16, 2023, my close friend Gabe Ballard received life-altering news – he needed quadruple bypass open-heart surgery. This revelation shook him and those who know him, a dedicated gym-goer and hardworking individual for the past 16+ years.

Gabe, a beacon of support who played a crucial role in transforming not only my life but many others', is always ready to lend a helping hand. It's people like him that truly deserve goodness in return, and this fundraiser aims to go above and beyond for him.

Sadly, this surgery has brought about financial devastation. Disability covers only 75% of his income, and when you factor in weekly overtime, separate Sunday work pay, and tip earnings from his relentless 6-7 day work week, it becomes a financial crisis. On average, Gabe is losing around $2,000 a month, not to mention the accumulating hospital bills and co-pays.

We've initiated this GoFundMe campaign with the hope that it will significantly help Gabe and his family alleviate the unexpected burdens this situation has placed on them. Even the smallest donation will make a meaningful impact.

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to extend a helping hand in this challenging time!
