Help Doug Get a New Heart!

Everyone always said Dougie had a big heart, we just didn't know it was so literal!

The days/weeks/months/years ahead will be an adjustment for the Heath family. After what we thought was a bad cold, Dougie unexpectedly was diagnosed with severe heart failure. Doug is currently in the ICU at Tufts Medical Center in Boston awaiting a heart transplant. The transplant could happen as soon as days or as long as a year or more. For this reason, the Heath family could use your help to navigate the time that they will be without Doug's income as well as the mounting lifelong medical bills. Doug has always been a wonderful friend, father, husband, brother, and son. He has always been there for his friends and family. Now is the time to band together to support him and his family in their hour of need! All money raised will be used strictly for medical bills and daily family expenses for Doug, his wife, and his two young children. We will post important updates here when we have them.

A LIFETIME OF MEDICAL NEEDS:

-A heart transplant costs over 1 million dollars

-Waiting for transplant, transplant, and recovery could keep Doug from working for over a year

-Anti-rejection medication will be roughly $2500/month indefinitely after transplant
