Penfield native in need of new heart receives support from local community

Dennis Dale Crawford

“It’s the scariest thing that has ever happened to us.”

At just 27 years old, Dale Crawford needs a heart transplant. Less than two months ago, after having trouble eating and sleeping and feeling short of breath, Dale was admitted to an emergency room. He has been hospitalized since February 1 awaiting a heart transplant.

Dale is fundraising with Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses.

“It’s really incredible to me how people can come together to support me, and to see what a small community like DuBois can do.”
