My Dad's Fight Against COVID-19
Donation protected
I am organizing this fundraiser for my Dad, my hero.
Friday 3/27/2020:
Saying I love you to a photograph is what I've had to do, because I cannot be with you while you fight for your life.
Right now I am fully surrending myself. I have to have faith in the system I have dedicated my career to, and hold onto hope that the healthcare professionals training to take COVID-19 head-on can help my Dad pull through.
He is currently in a medically induced coma on a ventilator, and at this moment we are very uncertain of what is to come, and we are, of course, deeply fearful -- but we are doing our best to hold onto hope.
We ask for your positive vibes, healing energy and prayers during this incomprehensible time. I also ask that you respect my Mom's space; her phone needs to be totally available for updates considering she/we cannot physically be there with him (which has been the most terrible part of this entire nightmare). My dad is alone. And my family and I are separately quarantined, unable to be there to hold his hand, and unable to physically be there for one another. This is what helplessness feels like.
Please. Please take this pandemic seriously. Please overreact. Please be overly cautious. Please stop thinking this couldn't possibly happen to you or your family, because I was in denial, too, and now this is our reality.
I love you, Dad. ❤
