Charlie's Post-Hospital Costs

Though I'm sure most of you know me if you're reading this, my name is Charlie Gallagher and this past Monday I was admitted to the hospital for Pulmonary Embolism and Right Heart Failure. I went to the Emergency Room on Monday after getting short of breath after merely taking out the trash. Coupled with chest pains, dizziness, blurred vision, and ringing ears, I was scared. Rightfully so, because the doctors have now told me that there are extensive clots in my lungs and my heart can't pump blood to them as well as it should.

I normally don't like asking for money, but this visit is getting costly, especially without insurance. While the money raised will not completely pay off the astronomical bill, it will help me cover the cost of medication, doctor visits for required bloodwork, dietary needs, as well as any other costs that arise due to my inability to work for a few weeks to months while I recover.

The funds are needed as soon as possible, though I should be OK for the first few weeks as I have a great support system helping me along the way.

If you'd like to donate, that would be most appreciated. Again, please do not feel any sense of obligation, but please do consider helping if at all possible. It would mean the absolute world to me and my family during what is sure to be a long, bumpy road to a full recovery.

Thank you all so, so much for anything and everything, whether it be a donation or a simple wish of well-being. Much love to everyone.
