Help Brad and his family

Brad can use some help. He was travelling in New Zealand and begun to have severe headaches and double vision. He was taken to a local hospital by his dear friends in Whangarei, NZ. After evaluation they determined he needed to be air lifted to Auckland. Brad declined however due to lack of insurance and funds.

A 2 1/2 hour ambulance ride then ensued as Brad was transported to Auckland City Hospital. After some initial scans, Brad was found to have 2 masses in his brain. These were causing his brain fluid to not drain properly. Over the course of 3 weeks, Brad has had to undergo 4 surgeries to attempt to improve this draining so he could fly home to treat his tumors.

Unfortunately, none of these have been effective and Brad has endured several seizures and challenging moments while in the hospital. Following this last surgery he is now in intensive care with close monitoring.

Brad’s medical costs here in New Zealand are significant and we are working to get him home to the USA. Several people have asked how they can help Brad so we decided to create a GoFundMe campaign to help defray some of Brad's expenses and travel.

If you feel it in your heart to help Brad and family with some of his challenges, please click the donate link. Brad and his entire family thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The recipient for these funds that will be used to support the family’s expenses with Brad will be Wanda A. Dahlgren, Brad’s Mom. Wanda was in New Zealand with Brad for the entire length of his hospital stay along with his father Scott, stepmom Diane and Uncle Keith and Aunt Cathy.
