Please Help Lauren Soto Get The Surgery She Needs

Lauren Soto is the mother of 2 beautiful children, William (26), and Danielle (18).

She and her husband Bill have been together for 36 Years.

I have been a friend of her husband Bill since age 14. I have known Lauren for 30 years.

Lauren was one of the first people to ever receive a Gastric Bypass surgery for Weight Loss in 1993. She has since then suffered a severe Diaphragmatic Hiatal Hernia. Her two stomachs from the Gastric Bypass, as well as other foreign objects, are now in her chest cavity, causing Cardiac and Pulmonary Compression in her heart and lungs. It is nearly impossible for Lauren to breathe. A 90 Day supply of Albuterol inhaler only lasts Lauren one month. In between, she needs to use a Nebulizer up to 5 times a day. To make matters worse, the doctors that did her Gastric Bypass used Prolene Mesh, which could fuse into her heart or other organs. Now due to the passage of time, she has suffered another hernia under the right chest area, which most likely has a piece of her Pancreas in it.

Lauren has been trying to have surgery to reverse the problem for five years now. No less than 5 In-Network surgeons have turned her down because the surgery is very dangerous. Lauren has finally found a Team of Doctors and Surgeons who are willing to help save her life. But now, she needs to Raise the $10,000 Deductible before they will operate. Yes, you read that correctly. They will not perform her surgery until she first pays the $10,000. So myself (a long-time family friend) and her loving family are humbly asking for your help with Donations. I plan on raising the deductible amount via the GoFundMe site, and transferring the funds to the family via Zelle. Lauren and Bill are not people who ask others for financial help, but if Lauren does not get this surgery, it's only a matter of time before her chest cavity ruptures due to overcrowding of the heart and lungs. Time is of The Essence...this is a ticking time-bomb. THE FUNDS RAISED WILL BE USED TO GET LAUREN HER SURGERY, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER THE 8th!!! Would you please consider helping Lauren? Any amount helps...Thank You!
