Jimmy Strong

Jim Albert is our church custodian.  He basically does it all and keeps us up and running. He is currently in ICU awaiting heart valve replacement.  Unfortunately, that is not all he is facing.  Jim is a two time kidney transplant recipient along with a pancreas transplant.  He battles diabetes and right now has double pneumonia with his new kidney under distress from the heart malfunction. Although surgery is very risky with the state of his health, not replacing the valve is even riskier. His kidney levels are dangerous , they need to fix his heart to save his kidney! Jim's wife Anita started a new job recently so is not eligible for family leave and is almost out of sick and vacation time.  She  can take time off without pay but she is the sole insurance provider, so that is not possible.  They again are facing an uphill battle as they will  be solely relying on one income with medical costs mounting.  Please help us help Jim and Anita . They both do so much for our church and our community, it's our turn to help them!
