Shawn's Fight for Health and Family

Donation protected
**UPDATE** 7/31/2024
After being seen by the leading pulmonologist in Ohio, Shawn is being treated for Chronic Heart Failure, which is a result of his Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Which in short means the left ventricle in his heart pumps less blood than his body needs. We will keep you updated with more news as it comes, thank you to everyone who has helped so far!




My son Shawn was hospitalized with an atypical pneumonia on October 14th, 2023. He has spent the past 10 months undergoing tests and receiving different medications to try and fight this. Unfortunately the pneumonia tuned into so much more. Currently Shawn is undergoing treatments for Restrictive Lung Disease, Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Chronic Heart Failure.

Prior to his hospitalization Shawn just moved at the beginning of September 2023 to a new home to be closer to his 2 sons and give them more room and a backyard to play and make memories.

Shawn was a full-time filmmaker, before his illness changed his life, and he very much wants to get back to making films, but he needs help making ends meet while he goes through treatment.

Friends and family have reached out to ask how they can help. With being out of work the past 10 months, any donations will assist with expenses as he tries to regain his health and are greatly appreciated.

All donations will go directly to Shawn and his family to help with medical, housing and utilities.

**UPDATE** 06/17/2024
Since our last update Shawn has been on constant oxygen and his heart walls have thickened due to his body trying to keep oxygen in his bloodstream. He has also developed sleep apnea, and his sleep study showed that he stopped breathing 66 times an hour. This has cause more issues with seizures and hypoxia, so sometimes he doesn’t know where he is when he wakes up. He is in the process of getting everything he needs medically, but all of these things have made day to day life much harder. Shawn has been able to find a few odd jobs over the past few months he can do from home, but he is at a point where he and his kids need your help.
