Follow Us
In what comes in as shocking news, former Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons linebacker, Robert Lyles is struggling to gather funds for his heart transplant. The 61-year-old is currently admitted to the St. Luke’s Hospital since the 12th of July in a critical condition.
Robert Lyles played 6 seasons for the Oilers and then went on to represent the Atlanta Falcons for a single season. Lyles’ daughter has taken the help of his father’s best friend, Randy Carodine to setup a fundraiser campaign as the former linebacker desperately needs a heart transplant.
Robert Lyles desperately needs a heart transplant and Randy Carodine wants to raise a fund of $100k
The cost of getting a heart transplant is quite large all over the world and Carodine is hoping to gather a fund of $100k to help Robert Lyles get the treatment. On the GoFundMe page, Carodine elaborated how Lyles’ medical insurance has already expired without covering a major section of his treatment costs.
The Gofundme page titled A Heart for Robert contains, “My name is Randy Carodine. My brother is Bobby “Robert” Lyles. We may not be tied by blood, but we have been brothers for most of our lives. I am asking for immediate help raising $100,000.00 to assist Robert with receiving a heart transplant.”
“Robert has been hospitalized in critical condition at Baylor St. Luke’s Hospital since July 12, 2022. The medical staff and other employees have given Robert the most extraordinary care available. However, his medical insurance has expired and did not cover a fraction of the costs.”
“A heart transplant, as you can imagine, is an astronomical cost. Robert has been through several life-saving procedures thus far. The current life sustaining measures are only temporary. Robert needs a new heart immediately.”
“Robert has given his heart out to many people over the years. You may know Robert as a player, teammate, coach or friend from Belmont High School or during his tenures with the NFL, AFL, CFL, XFL and Collegiate levels. Or, you may not know Robert at all. I ask for you to donate whatever is in your heart to give to Robert’s cause. No amount is too small.”
“All funds will go towards Robert’s mounting medical and personal expenses. If you cannot donate, I ask that you keep Robert and his family in your prayers and pass this link on to your family and friends. God Bless And Keep You.“
As of 11th August 2022, a total of $40,000 has been raised but there remains quite a long way to reach the eventual goal. We hope that Robert Lyles gets the best treatment possible after the funds are raised.
