#TeamErikECMO

My name is Erik Lorah and I am from Brownwood, Tx.   For some of you who know me I am a very energetic person who lives life to the fullest. I am a veteran who loves the outdoors, working with animals and can fix just about anything. I have three kids 18, 16 and 14 and they are my world.   I have always put everyones needs before my own and a very selfless kinda a guy. I recently caught the new strain of COVID-19 with pneumonia and I am on a ventilator and ECMO machine at Scott and White Heart hospital in Plano and I will possibly be here for another 2 to 3 months. I strive everyday to do my best and push my way to get through the hard ships but currently I am asking for any kind of help to pay bills and travel for my family who live three hours away.  Thank you again and GOD bless.
