I'm starting this campaign to help raise urgent funds for my friend Marcos Drake his wife Courtney and their young teenage son.

On Tuesday, April 12th Marc's wife, Courtney Drake unexpectedly fell ill and was airlifted to University of Maryland Medical Center from Christiana following acute liver and kidney failure. Courtney has since undergone multiple surgeries at multiple facilities as doctors work to save her life. Marcos and his teenage son have been by her side throughout this emergency situation.

Marcos is the only provider in the household, and will not be able to return to work for a some time. The Drake family is in dire need of help. Everything is on the line. If there is anyway at all you can help, any amount you can spare will be helpful.

As a concerned friend, I feel helpless for them and would like to help them in anyway possible. I cannot imagine the financial worries he must have right now and it is the last thing that should be consuming his thoughts.

On behalf of the Drake family, thank you.
