Medical Expenses

For those who know him, Dakota is a kind and caring person, who loves his family and friends and would do anything to help anyone if it is within his power to do so. He is also a proud person, therefore asking for help does not come easy, and so as his mom, I am asking on his behalf.

My son is 27 years old and is the financial provider for his family. He has two young children, Harlow (18 months) and Carter (5years), who count on him to provide for their needs. Recently, and very unexpectedly, Dakota learned that he has a Aortic Root Aneurysm which is serious and life-threatening condition. His specialists have determined that his valve is in need of repair and will require open heart surgery to repair this issue, if unable he will need a valve replacement with a mechanical valve in hopes of avoiding another surgery in the future. They want to do the surgery within the next month and as you can imagine; this is a complex surgery which requires a lengthy recovery. he has been told it will be at least 3 moths before he can return to work. He will also possibly need to be on a blood thinner for the rest of his life.

This is where we can all pull together to help this young family get through this incredibly challenging time. I am asking that if you can help, please consider donating. A donation from you will help with living expenses while Dakota is unable to work. If you ae unable to give, please share and spread the word as often as you can.

I am hopeful that our family, friends, and community will rally around them to ease their financial burden during this time, and we are profoundly grateful for anything you can do to help.

Thank you !
