Daniel Konrath's Recovery Fund

Donation protected
Five days ago one of my sons baseball teammates father, Dan Konrath, was brought to Morris Hospital with acute stomach and chest pains and vomiting. The quick diagnosis ruled out a heart attack and it was determined he was suffering from pancreatitis. He was admitted to the hospital and was told he would be there for two to three days. The following day his conditioned worsened and he was brought to the ICU. Hours later he was put on oxygen due to a great amount of fluid in his lungs. Twelve hours later we were called to the hospital because he was being put on a ventilator and into an induced coma. The next day he was transported to Loyola Hospital in Maywood. They put in a feeding tube and diagnosed a badly damaged left lung from the pancreatitis. As of Friday night he has a temperature of 103.7. Dan is fighting for his life.

Dan is 40 years old. He is a great husband and a proud father of five children between the ages of 4 and 12. He is self-employed therefore, has no disability benefits or social security, leaving them with zero income. Doctors have told the family that if he survives he could be in the hospital for months, which will mean he will not have any income for all that time. There has been an outpouring of prayers and offers to help and the family will forever be, grateful for that. Now, I am reaching out for help from the community with the fanincial assistance that they need.

The DANIEL KONRATH BENEFIT ACCOUNT through First Midwest Bank has already been set up. You can bring in or mail a check made out to the Daniel Konrath Benefit Account to any First Midwest Bank. Additionally, I thought we could get the support of the internet with this Go Fund me Account. ANYTHING will be graciously accepted… $1.00, $5.00, $10.00…anything to help get his family through this monumental challenge. 

I would appreciate if you would please forward this to your Facebook friends and email to any others you know who may be able to help. If you or anyone else is not able to help monetarily we understand but ask that you continue to pray for Dan.

Thank you in advance for any donations, but even more so for allowing me to use this venue for my plea for help.
