Christy Mack Launches GoFundMe Campaign to Assist Ivan Recovery Efforts

LOS ANGELES — Christy Mack has launched a GoFundMe to help cover medical bills for the director Ivan, who recently underwent six surgeries at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in early October, where he remains hospitalized in an effort to repair his left leg following diabetes-related complications.

Mack shared the emotional journey of the past month. “Early on the morning of October 8," she related on the fundraiser's GoFundMe page, "I received a lengthy and heartfelt message from one of my best friends. Unfortunately, he developed an infection in his foot, that subsequently spread quickly to his leg. After multiple operations, a lengthy stay in the ICU, and rounds of dialysis, [his] condition is stable, but not quite out of the woods yet.”

She continued, “I have never met a more selfless person. Many of my friends, and all of my family, are aware of… how much of a positive impact he has made on everyone in his life. No matter what situations arise in his own life, he will always make sure that you are taken care of before himself. From the toy drives that he hosts for his birthday, to the extra food he carries around in case he sees a person in need, we all know of the good that Ivan has brought to the community and the joy he brings to us personally.”

“Now it is our turn to give back,” writes Mack. “He would never ask anyone for any help, so we have taken it upon ourselves — with his blessing — to do everything in our power to show him that we are here for him and will support him in any way possible. He will need help covering his medical costs, plus living expenses while he is unable to work during his recovery. If you can spare a few dollars, or positive messages for a dear friend to us all, we will never forget your generosity or positivity.”

Mack further communicated that a potential amputation was fortuitously cancelled, and that Ivan has since started physical therapy and is looking forward to recovery.
