John Needs Your Help
John Pilon is a 59 year old man who is very ill. After suffering multiple heart attacks, and chronic heart failure, a second heart transplant is his only hope for survival.
John is a father of two girls, and has spent years being a protector, provider, teacher and hero for them. One of his daughters is learning disabled and John has made helping her through her daily life struggles, one of his top priorities.
Transplants are life saving but very expensive.
Family and friends of John Pilon are raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.

John's surgery for his new impella pump went well! Unfortunately he was not able to hold his own breathing so they had to intubate him.

Also, some of you may know that John has been off Dialysis for a few weeks now. Unfortunately he had to restart Dialysis this past weekend.

I am here to memorialize that as of today, you have been gone from us for three months. I look at your pictures and still can\'t believe it, John. You are so missed - far more than you would ever believe. I always found comfort in being able to talk with you about our daughters. You always helped ease my mind when I was worried about one or both of them, which was frequent. It still is. It is a strange feeling to be their only living parent. I play old voicemails I have from you just to hear your voice. As I listen, I find myself shaking my head in disbelief that your fight is really over. I know your battle was long and saw how difficult life became for you. I pray you did not suffer in your last moments on this earth. I am tormented at the thought that you might have. I wish I could talk with you one more time. I don\'t even know for sure what I would say. I would just cherish your presence and make sure you know how much you were loved while you were with us. I hope you are resting in peace. Your daughters and I miss you. 90 days now living with the absence of your energy, fight, stubbornness and spirit. It makes my heart hurt for our girls. Sending all our love to Heaven for you, John.
