The Jerry and Hana Whitfield Fund

As some may recall, Jerry required a liver and kidney transplant in 2014, and did very well for a number of years. Earlier this year, however, Jerry began experiencing complications associated with his transplanted organs and has spent the last four months in Cape Coral hospitals.

Two days ago, Jerry was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, which has a superb medical staff that specializes in transplant patients. We are hoping beyond hope they can help Jerry pull through this latest challenge.

To continue providing Jerry with the personal and emotional support he needs, Hana must rent an affordable hotel/motel or Air B&B near the hospital for six to eight weeks or more, which is how long doctors predict it will take before Jerry can be released.

Once he and Hana are able to return home to Cape Coral, it will be months and months before Jerry gets his strength back to where he’ll be able to operate independently.

To help these two good people through this unimaginably difficult time, I hope you can contribute some amount – any amount – that will allow them to focus on Jerry’s medical and surgical treatments in the hospital, and reduce their stress when they come out the other side.

Jerry and Hana spent a good part of their adult lives as Conflict Resolution Specialists, helping families resolve severe familial, marital and relationship conflicts. They helped hundreds of families along the way, and now perhaps, we can help them. It truly takes a village. Please remember, even the smallest contributions add up.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
