Jared Smiz Medical/Ongoing Care

Donation protected
Jared had a massive heart attack on April 5th, 2017. Was rushed to the hospital by his mother Charlene and just made it in time. He had two stints put in his artery to keep it open, and remains in the Intensive Care Unit until Sunday, if all goes well. He is going to need a lot of help with this, and is going to need a lot of ongoing treatment prety much for the rest of his life. I'm working with the family and our large network of friends to figure out a solution for health insurance for him, but as of now he has none. The bills will rack up very fast not only for the accrual of treatment that has been done, but for the ongoing treatment he will need. He is in pretty bad shape but his spirits are good (as usual he cant go 4 seconds without trying to crack a joke or bust my jewels.)

This is important. Jared has done a lot for all of us. I've spent my life with this guy growing as a brother together, I love him and I know all of you do too. He's done a lot for a lot of people and for the scene. Whatever you can do to help, we will appreciate it. 100% will go to Jared's medical and life expenses due to the illness.

We will be setting up benefit shows, and making shirts as well and will post progress on this page as we go.
Thank you
