Fabian, who is temporarily in Jacksonville, Florida, enrolled in commercial diving/welding school, has been battling COVID-19 since Aug. 11, 2021. Even though he is far away from his family and support system, Fabian has been Herculianly strong and determined to get better. He has shown improvement; however, his lungs are his biggest threat.
The University of Florida Health Hospital has an amazing medical staff who refuse
to give up on this young man. But the medical bills continue to rise. Hopefully, this benefit concert will help raise money for the growing expenses as well as money for future procedures.
Fabian has a heart for service.
