Aid Doug's Healing Journey and Daily Needs

My name is Gary Gierach. My best friend is in the hospital having major open heart surgery. Today, Monday 8/26/24, he is having bypass surgery and his aorta is being repaired. He has an ascending aortic aneurysm which is ready to tear. He has 4 areas of blockage in his coronary arteries. In addition to coronary artery disease, he has lupus which has caused blood clots and a pulmonary embolism in the past. He also has diabetes.

He has about $20,000 in medical bills after insurance right now. That is about to shoot way up with open heart surgery.

Doug will be off of work for at least 6 weeks. He will be having lots of cardiac rehab. He will be getting a little bit of disability pay through Wal-Mart. He will have to pay insurance premiums that are normally payroll deductions.

Doug is struggling with day-to-day living expenses. Doug helps take care of 2 special needs nephews who have autism.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Please share this with all your friends!

Thank you.
