Jeff's Road to Recovery
Donation protected
Hello,
Brianna here on behalf of my boyfriend and best friend Jeff Crosby. As some of you are aware Jeff was recently hospitalized from an acute virus that attacked his heart. He is currently out and resting up, however, the road to recovery does not end with the improvement of his health. More on that later, here’s what happened…
Two weeks ago Jeff returned from playing shows with Jerry Joseph in Mexico. First day back on American soil he headed straight to his favorite recording studio, Bedrock in Echo park. On the third night he started to get pretty sick. At first he thought it was the usual Montezuma’s revenge caught in Mexico. Unfortunately, the symptoms progressed and became more frequent until he called me at 4:00 am with excruciating chest pain and a heavy left arm. The decision was made to check into a 24-hour clinic. They ran some test and told him to go home and rest. Awaking again at 5:00 am, to a call from the clinic stating to find the closest hospital immediately.
He called an Uber, arrived at the ER and was quickly rushed into the ICU. Fearing a heart attack, they began a plethora of tests to determine what was wrong. After 36 hours in the ICU with family by his side they were able to release Jeff, stating that he did have a minor heart attack yet the damage shouldn’t be permanent. The virus caused some major complications. So he has to take it easy for a while….
Like I said, the road to recovery doesn’t end there. Jeff recently received the hospital bill… $39,065, a shock to us all. With Jeff being a touring musician with no health insurance this is a large mountain to climb.
I ask for your help, to get Jeff back on the road -- writing songs, telling stories and playing music for you all! Any financial help is greatly- no enormously appreciated. Everything that is donated will go to clearing the hospital bill.
Thank you so very much in advance for your generous donation, whatever it may be. I know he looks forward to seeing you on the road again.
With Love and Gratitude,
Brianna
P.S. Usually musicians ask for fan donations to fund a new album or a tour, he’s always shied away from that route. Therefore this is a difficult request since it’s not for his creative pursuits but rather to keep him out of crippling debt.
