  • Fluid around his Heart More Days In ICU

    As of July 8, 2025 Joel be having to go back to the OR because of fluid around his heart. He had multiple echoes done to confirm before the procedure and it is a must do. He has been in the hospital for a total 18 days between having to wait a week for the open heart surgery to repair his aortic valve with an implant of a human tissue valve. It has been a very long time for him. Anybody knows that staying in the hospital is no fun. I want to thank you to all the donors who has contributed so far to this fundraiser as you can see we’ve only raised $200 doesn’t take long for that to go, but you know what that’s OK. We have faith in God that all will work out even if we do not have this fundraiser to help him .
    Joel has been experiencing some major depression and fear, although I keep speaking the name of Jesus over him and his body and his health he is still kind of in denial of all of everything that is happening to him. We all want Joel to get 100% better but we all know this is also a long road recovery. He’s young. He still got the great energy but I know it’s very traumatic for him and I’m just trying to do everything in my power to get him some financial help at this moment thank you once again for anyone willing to donate to the cause.

About this fundraiser

Our son Joel who is 24 years old is going to be having open heart surgery July 1st 2025 

 It’s definitely been a life altering experience for my son. He is such a hard worker and wanted to provide for his family , until he found out, he would need emergency heart surgery to repair a heart valve yes aortic valve disease, and unfortunately, the valve is backing up into his heart , or leaking causing strain on his heart and he needs to have this procedure to repair that valve so that he can go on living a nice healthy life . he will not be having income coming in and I’m requesting those out there that are willing to donate towards the cause and give Joel hope at the end of all this. 
if you feel it in your heart to donate, please donate all proceeds. Will go to Joel and his family. Thank you so much and may God bless you..
