A GoFundMe Has Been Posted For Duke Softball Coach’s Family And They Could Use Our Help!

Duke softball coach Marissa Young and her family are having a real crisis: her husband, James Lamar, had emergency heart surgery Friday and is still not out of the woods. He’s also dealing with kidney and liver issues as well.

A GoFundMe has been posted and the goal is $25,000, which has been reached. But as most of you probably know, minor surgery costs can be expensive. Major surgery? It’s a nightmare.

No matter how you cut it, $25,000 is not enough to pay for the surgery, let alone an extended stay in the hospital. And that doesn’t even get into things like rehab or ongoing medical expenses.
