As many of you know Zac recently spent 15 days in the hospital battling a life-threatening MRSA infection & a blood clot in his lungs. Thanks to a welfare check, he got the care he needed; but his road to recovery is long, and the financial burden without insurance is overwhelming.
Zac has always shown up for others with passion and kindness. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.
Let’s remind Zac he’s not alone in this fight. Every donation helps cover his medical bills, medications, and recovery care.
Some of you may have noticed we’ve been missing from the airwaves and socials this week, and I owe you an update on what’s been going on.
A few hours after our incredible 10+ hour livestream on Monday a sharp pain in my right leg quickly spiraled into something far scarier over the next 48 hours.
I began experiencing strange, unexplainable symptoms—things like being unable to form coherent sentences, overwhelming exhaustion, extreme pain, and losing awareness of my own actions. To give you an idea, I was unintentionally saying things like "dirty tree" when I was trying to say "help me." Thankfully, my family took notice and reached out for help.
With me being unreachable for over 24 hours (which on a normal week be nothing, but parents know best!; my grandparents called in a welfare check. I can’t thank the officer enough for going above and beyond to make sure he got to me and keeping my family informed where I had been taken.
After several hours in the ER, tests, and being admitted for further care, I began my journey to recovery.
While I’m still navigating many unknowns, I’m feeling bit better today, and I owe so much to the medical team (of like 25+) who walked me through this terrifying at times experience.
I’m so grateful to God for keeping me here, and for the love and support from my family, TLP crew, friends, and all of you.
It’s been a wake-up call, and I’m taking it one day at a time. There’s still a lot of uncertainty ahead, but I’m focusing on healing.
I promise TLP will be back, maybe few days, might be couple week, but we will be back, and I can’t wait—stronger than ever, with a brand new studio, new crew members, fresh shows, and so much more!
Please respect my and the hospitals privacy as I navigate this time and THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your continued support.
I can’t wait to see you all soon because space is better together and i gotta pay these hospital bills somehow haha.
