Christian Sallee life saving brain surgery
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Cayla,
Two years ago at only 26 years old, my younger brother, Christian, was diagnosed with a severe Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (or CCM).
For two years the father of 3 and his wife Lani, have searched for answers and help to keep him healthy.
Along the way Christian has been met with medical bills, seizures, medication, testing, scans, heartache and fear of the unknown for him, his wife and their beautiful children.
Christian’s last MRI showed that the abnormal cluster of fragile blood vessels in his brain has grown and is continuing to bleed, causing more seizures.
After deeper research and being led to believe his condition was hopeless, we found UCSF!
The University of California San Francisco provides world class care for people who suffer from CCM! After further researching UCSF and their work with CCMs we have discovered that often with surgery the curative rate is 93%! In order for Christian to meet with this special team of doctors and receive the medical care he needs, they need help financially. The help they need isn’t just for medical bills but for travel from Oregon to California, medication, and potential loss of income if his new doctor sees surgery fitting.
Any little bit helps! Thank you so much for your love and prayers!
