My father, Kent Hickle, has been admitted to Northwestern Hospital in Chicago for a heart transplant. He will be admitted until he matches with a donor heart and has a transplant. This could be anywhere from days to months of waiting followed by recovery time.

Many of you have asked how you can help or want to help our family during this difficult time. We want you to know that all we need is your prayers, love, support, and maybe a hug (I know Jason would appreciate it). But, if you would like to help out more than that, as many people have expressed, we decided to set this up as an avenue for people to donate if they want. Please do not feel that you are under any obligation. Thank you for everything thus far and your continued support. My dad and my entire family are beyond blessed and grateful for having an amazing support system we have.
