Anyone that knows my Dad, Mark Vondall, knows how great of a man, father, husband, grandfather, and friend he is. He has always been the type of person to help someone on the side of the road, buy someone a meal, or pay for a stranger's groceries. He has always been quick to offer a helping hand, whether it be covering someone's shift at work, helping with a move, or a simple ride. He is incredibly generous and has always taken care of those around him.

Mark was recently hospitalized and diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis (aka flesh eating disease) a very rare, aggressive, fast-moving infection. He had to have emergency, life-altering surgery to save his life. His whole world has changed overnight. He is currently in critical but stable condition in the ICU down in Phoenix. He will need to be hospitalized for many months for extensive care and rehabilitation treatments. We don't know the extent of his condition at this point, but he has a long road to recovery ahead of him.

I would like to help raise money for all the medical expenses, rehabilitation, and travel/lodging expenses our family will be facing in the coming months. I want to focus on just being here for him.

Mark is not one to ask for help often, but this is definitely his time of need. Please keep him in your thoughts, prayers, and send all the healing vibes. Thank you all so much. Please don't be afraid to ask questions.
