Supporting Carl's Heart and Recovery Journey

Donation protected
On the behalf of my partner, Carl Washington this gofundme was created not for a life insurance policy, but to celebrate life and his recovery. Why not celebrate survivors that have gone through life threatening experiences and have overcame every adversity thrown their way.

Carl’s heart prior to going into the hospital was working at a 10% ejection level which means his heart was not pumping enough blood and failing drastically (normal heart ejection level is between 50% to 70%).

After 3 weeks of moving into our beautiful house together he was not feeling well, however still gained strength to go to work. After work, Carl went to the hospital for fatigue and shortness of breathe and was admitted in the hospital that has been an almost 3 month stay thus far.

Prior to his last visit Carl stop smoking cigarettes and changed his overall habits which was mandatory to be placed on the heart transplant list. By changing his routine, going to doctor’s appointments consistently, taking medications (20+ pills), and discontinue smoking led to being considered for a heart transplant from a donor. In the midst of his journey Carl continued to be a loving partner, a great employee, and amazing father although he was struggling day to day.

By making these daily changes, in one month Carl was placed on the transplant list, month two he completed a successful transplant surgery, and month three is set to be discharged home very soon.

As we go through this recovery process ❤️‍ we would like to focus on his overall health and not let finances more or less be a concern. The funds are dedicated to our housing, our children (as in the holidays are coming up), and most importantly food and necessities for Carl’s overall recovery.

Carl’s food and dietary needs are essential to his overall longevity of his life and keeping his heart healthy. Carl’s major goal is juicing fruits and vegetables and continue to drink Ensures to incorporate in his diet to build muscle, gain key nutrients, and increase energy levels.

The marathon continues for Carl and it is greatly appreciated that in any shape or form family, friends, and those who are touched by his testimony would like to contribute to his overall progress and livelihood.

Ultimately, this celebrates Carl strength throughout this whole process any $1 will truly touch his heart and life personally. Let his story be a shining light that God is real and has the last say so. God bless you all in advance, keep God first, show gratitude and thank God for his grace daily. I hope Carl’s journey and testimony touches lives today and forever.
