Donate to Gary’s Heart Health Journey

Hi guys, this is Candy. My baby brother, Gary was admitted to USA Medical Center on 6/3/2025 for congestive heart failure, his heart was functioning at 20%. He is a loving and devoted father of five children. After a nine day stay and many, many tests he had open heart surgery with double bypass yesterday morning. Gary has no medical insurance and will have an extended stay in the hospital as they had to place an Impella heart pump as well temporarily. His family is in need of financial help for household expenses and medical bills. I have set up an account for him at Renasant Bank, listed as-

Gates Benefit. A donation can be brought to any branch. Also, the Pelican Pub has a bucket drop ongoing while he is in need, donations can be dropped at that location or at Dockside Restaurant.

1102 Desoto Ave.

Dauphin Island, Al. 36528

Please continue to pray for Gary and his family as he goes through this long road to recovery.

God bless all of you, thank you ❤️
