Craig's Open Heart Surgery Fund
Donation protected
My daughter Rosemary's fiance, Craig Burke, has been in renal failure and on dialysis for over seven years and he urgently needs a kidney transplant. In the process of preparing for the transplant, the doctors discovered Craig has significant blockages in the main artery to his heart, so he needs open-heart bypass surgery before he can receive a kidney. The open-heart surgery will be on October 12 in Indianapolis.
He has undergone extensive testing and must also undergo procedures that require he has a driver and is monitored for 24 hours afterward. For this reason, Rosemary must often miss work. They also anticipate a total loss of income while he is recovering. Because the surgery will be in Indianapolis, there will be extra expenses, including hotel bills. His recovery will be six weeks, and we are unsure how much Rosemary can work during that time.
Rosemary and Craig have a 6-month-old son, Xavier, who adores his dad, and Rosemary has a 17-year-old daughter, Lily.
We are asking for donations to keep the family afloat while Craig gets this surgery he so desperately needs. Anything helps.
Thank you so much.
