Jr is a jokester, but he is a kind, caring family man who loves bowling, fishing, and most importantly, quality time with his family. He has a sense of humor like no one you’ve ever met and has a kind heart. Unfortunately, he and his family are facing a difficult time and they’re just getting started. If you know Jr, it was very hard to convince him to let us start this GoFundMe for him; asking for help isn’t something he’s used to doing.

On January 14th, Anita, his wife, took him to the ER. Upon arriving, many tests were done, and it was discovered Jr had cellulitis in his right foot and he was septic. He was in need of a consult from St. John’s, but their beds were full. In the early morning hours of January 15th, he was transferred to St. John’s, and emergency surgery was performed. During the surgery, part of his foot had to be removed and additional surgeries are being discussed. This is a long road for Jr and his family.

Jr provides the income for his home, and now he is in the hospital, unsure how long he will be there and what the days ahead will look like. If you’re willing to donate, your donations would be greatly appreciated as the family is traveling back and forth to Springfield, bills are still coming in, and anything would help them during this time.
