Wayne Coleman a.k.a. Superstar Billy Graham remains in hospital and has recently contracted COVID-19.
In an update from their Facebook group, the account informed people that both Coleman and his wife Valerie recently contracted COVID and therefore, Coleman’s wife cannot visit him and cannot work as their medical bills are mounting.
The latest update from Wayne’s wife Valerie is rather dire. In addition to Wayne’s ongoing medical issues, resulting in them spending 200 dollars a day out of pocket for his care at a rehab hospital, they both now also have covid!
Valerie has used up all her sick and personal time at her job and is no longer getting a paycheck while she is out with covid. In addition, she cannot visit Wayne due to having covid, and is having difficulty getting any updates on his condition. They are facing serious issues.
Please pray for them both. It is much appreciated.
If anyone can donate any amount, it would be tremendously appreciated at this critical time.
A GoFundMe campaign is running to help support Coleman, who has been at the Mayo hospital for weeks. He is suffering from congestive heart failure, diabetes, infections to both his ears and skull that have affected his hearing amid other ailments, and undergone significant weight loss.
Coleman, 79, was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004 and held the WWWF Championship from April 1977 until February 1978 and is regarded as among the most influential characters during his era. Many performers borrowed from his interview style and patterned their physiques off his template.
