Support Justin — USAF Veteran & Father Facing Emergency Aortic Surgery Recovery

Our loved one, Justin, recently experienced a sudden and life-threatening medical emergency. Without warning, he suffered an aortic dissection and had to be rushed by medical flight for emergency heart surgery. Thanks to quick action and an incredible medical team, he made it through surgery, but the road ahead will be long and challenging.

Justin is a proud United States Air Force veteran who has always lived his life in service to others. Beyond his military service, he is a talented culinary chef with many skills and passions, known by everyone around him for his generosity and willingness to help anyone in need. Most importantly, Justin is a loving father to a sweet one-year-old boy.

This medical crisis has created an overwhelming financial burden. The costs associated with emergency transport, major heart surgery, ICU care, ongoing treatment, medications, rehabilitation, and extended time away from work are expected to be substantial. The volume of medical bills Justin will be facing in the coming months will be significant, and we want to do everything we can to ease that stress so he can focus fully on healing and being there for his young son.

We are raising funds to help cover medical expenses, household bills during recovery, and the many unforeseen costs that come with a medical emergency of this magnitude. Any donation — no matter the size — will make a meaningful difference for Justin.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much. Your support, prayers, and kindness help more than words can express.

Thank you for rallying around Justin — someone who has given so much to others throughout his life.

-From his family and Friends
