Hey everyone. We have some really big updates.
Jimmy's personal response (his account again being @theendisnevertheend
) will be pinned in the comments, so please look at what he wanted to say to you all.
As expressed in the last post, Jimmy wants to thank you guys for all of the support. Recently, @05carMagu1re
made a video about Jimmy's situation (which can be found here), and it really helped make more people in the community aware of what is going on.
Within the span of 12 hours, Oscar's video helped raise an additional 1K. To everyone who saw and donated from his video, thank you. The fundraiser got about 25+ additional donations because of that, and helped raise morale. It showed us despite difficulties in contacting people, there was still a lot of people there willing to help support us.
We were all shocked at how fast this occurred, but what happened after was nothing short of astonishing.
Someone who we contacted, who I will not identify for privacy reasons, was very generous and donated 1K. To said person, you know who you are, and we are so grateful that you have helped us.
Overall, the last few days have been nothing short of beautiful. And there is still more coming, as we have contacted others who will be posting soon to spread the word. Stay tuned for more updates from different community members.
We have also updated the GoFundMe with additional information in regards to his results after his sleep study, summarizing the medical conditions he suffers from so people know in specific what he is dealing with.
It is so powerful to see how small the GoFundMe started at, and yet how much it has ballooned since then, and we cannot thank you all enough for it. To think we are almost at 100 donations is unbelievable, and so much has already been raised. To see it go from 3K to 5K in under a day was nuts.
Now, with the donations and recent outreach being addressed, what are some updates on Jimmy's health and circumstances?
With the recent money that has come in from the generous donations everyone has offered, Jimmy and his Dad have been able to upgrade failing equipment to help them live right now. Whether this be a water purifier, a new air purifier, a new shower filter, all of these things have been extremely beneficial.
They also now have food money and can afford to buy groceries, on top of gas money to actual travel to places like the store. Other expenses include the phone bill and internet which have all helped in different areas.
But most importantly, he has been able to pay for different medical expenses that will help him on his road to recovery. These expenses are broken down in the 2nd image showcasing a document detailing what needs to be paid. But with the recent money he has received, he now has enough on a down-payment for his first operation. He is going in to get a minor surgery on his tongue that will help him start breathing properly, on top of a medical procedure called MARPE that will help expand the roof of his mouth. This will allow him to breath better over a period of time by expanding his mouth's palate over several months.
Please keep him and the doctors in prayer so that no complications occur.
All in all, these will greatly aid in his process to recovery but there is still a ways to go. They will have to pay the rest of it over a series of months, and so the GoFundMe money will also help to be directed towards that. It is all taking time but ultimately things are turning out well and we are so happy that he is doing better.
The road to recovery is long, and although its arduous, Jimmy has really been fighting for his life through all of this. But despite the difficulties, he is happy all of you care so much about him. Non of this would have been possible without any of you, and it really has warmed his heart. So he deeply thanks you.
We hope to share more updates soon, but for now we'll be signing off. We all wish you much love. Please remember to keep him in your prayers, and spread the situation to whoever you know. Thank you for reading.
God bless you all.
