Help Kevin with costs for open heart surgery
Donation protected
To whom may know Kevin G Renard (AKA Nipper) myself and or any of my family.
We are reaching out to ask for help in anyway possible!
Kevin was born with a heart defect which he has battled and struggled with his whole life. His parents were told that Kevin's life expectancy would most likely not exceed past 10-12 years of age unless they tried to repair it, and that to was not a guarantee. After tons of testing Kevin had open heart surgery at the age of 4.5 to repair the hole in his heart.
Kevin's life has contained of at least 8 pacemakers and 16 surgeries related to his heart.
Kevin is currently diagnosed with severe leaking and failure of his Mitral valve, this has caused him to be in complete heart failure. So ultimately he will be having open heart surgery on January 5th 2022. This surgery includes replacement of his pacemaker and leads from previous pacemakers removed and mitral valve replacement. This is going to be a very costly procedure. Kevin is not one to ask for help and tires to do everything on his own. But unfortunately his medical bills are already piling up. Each office visit is $100.00 copay, and all testing he has had in the last 6 months has been out of pocket. Which has reached 20k already and that doesn't even include the surgery ahead.
Kevin has a very hard and long recovery ahead of him. Including being off work for 3-6 months maybe longer depending on how he recovers. Kevin should not have to worry about the stress that the medical finances bring. Especially with this being a life or death surgery. He has been a very hard worker his whole life and doesn't ask for anything. So the family is stepping up and reaching out for help in his time of need.
