Help John Marzouq w/ medical bills

Donation protected
As most of you know, John Marzouq has been in the hospital for over a month now. As a result of severe pancreatitis, and other issues with his heart and lungs, we almost lost him a couple weeks back. As of right now, he is still depending on a ventilator for the majority of his day, although he has been breathing progressively better on his own. He is on dialysis for 3 days a week for his kidneys, which is a great improvement from being on continuous dialysis for weeks. His heart was enlarged from working overtime for his other organs, and he was diagnosed with ARDS  (a serious disease of the lungs which affects breathing). With the combination of these things, we were told his chances of survival were very slim, and before being transferred to U of M, Doctors at St. John's hospital were already preparing us for the worst. Of course, John is a fighter, and against all odds, he has pulled through! We are very blessed to have him here with us today, although he still has a very long road ahead of him. He is currently going through Physical Therapy to regain strength and muscle function, since this long period of time has impacted his body tremendously. During this time, my brother, sisters and I are doing our best to keep up on his responsibilities, ranging from house cleaning, to keeping his bills up to date. While he is continuing to improve, we are taking care of our own responsibilities, and trying to see our father as much as possible, however, we are starting to feel the weight of his medical bills, and other household bills pile onto us. At our father's request, we are asking for any donation you can afford to give to help with his bills. We understand that not everyone will be able to help financially, however, just simply sharing this message will help immensely. Thank you for the continued support and positive thoughts, and in advance for any donations given. Please continue to pray for his full recovery.

My dad is the strongest person I know, and also one with an amazing (and not to serious) outlook on life. He always knows how to make someone's day, and has to ability to make anyone smile. He would be so happy to see all the love and support from friends and family during this difficult time. We are all so grateful that he has such a great support team. All we can do at this point is stay positive and hope to see him return to us, as soon as possible, in full health.
