Donation protected

Hi, My name is Gaz and I am running this for my friend and Veteran Power Rangers actor Steve Andreno AKA "Baboo". He was the American suit actor for 99% of the screen time. He's a great guy, and if you ever met him in real life, or at a convention, you know won't soon forget the experience. His wife Candace is equally boisterous and it's easy to see how they ended up together :) Recently, though she has some serious health issues, she's out of immediate danger, but is not out of the woods yet. On top of a hospital stay and surgery , they have more ahead, and could really use the kind of financial support that isn't covered by their medical insurance.

from Candace:

Thank you to all of the beautiful, wonderful people who have lifted us in prayer, thoughts, vibes, etc.

I wish I could say I'm out of the woods, however, here is the latest.

I am being sent home needing to be on a portable oxygen concentrator, which will help keep my lungs from failing again. I also need the other stint put in but was informed that this procedure will be cash pay. Neither the concentrator, nor the surgery are things we can afford, nor are they able to be to be covered by any programs. So, I am begging all of you to pray, vibe, etc., for these things to some how, some way be available to me ASAP. The doctors told me that they are concerned I will not survive a repeat episode of this but cannot offer me a way to get an oxygen concentrator, nor the surgery.

From Steve:

update for 2/17

She was told that she needs to get:

1. A portable oxygen concentrator (takes in air and removes some nitrogen to increase amount of oxygen she inhales)

Estimated cost: $500.00 to $2,500.00

2: A rider/scooter to keep as much stress off of her heart as possible

Estimated cost: $1000.00-$3000.00

3. She needs to have a stint put in the other artery in 4-6 weeks

Estimated cost: currently unknown, but a quick online search shows: " total costs are typically $11,000-$41,000 or more, depending on the type of stent and length of hospital stay"

Thank you for all the prayers and support! It got her this far, and I know it will get her fully healthy soon.

We are asking for a total of $47,000.00, This would cover the high end of each of these costs, as well as Go Fund Me and other transaction fees. with any that was leftover going to cover lost wages and other cost not directly tied medical bills.

But, even if we only get $500.00 that is enough for a low-end O2 system.
