Matthew Pinnick

Matthew found out about his situation when he went to the hospital for difficulty breathing in November 2019; turns out it was pneumonia. But what should have been a short stay ended up triggering more chest x-rays and a diagnosis of heart failure.

His heart had only been operating at 10%! Gracious that they found that out but incredibly confused as to how (later diagnosed as an unlucky viral infection), Mr. Pinnick started on a journey of pumps, PICC lines, 20 pills a day, all while still coaching at Kellis HS, working, and spending time with his precious daughters. Now his trek has reached the pinnacle. Although he is in great shape physically (walks without a walker, speed walking 7-8 laps a day) he needs a new heart… which he is heroically waiting for.

Family and friends of Matt Pinnick are raising money to cover some of his expenses from his heart transplant through Help Hope Live, a trusted non-profit organization that has been providing guidance and leadership for nearly 40 years.

Thank you all for your support!
