Pancoast Family Support Fund

As many of you already know, the Pancoast family experienced a terrible tragedy. Dylan Marshall Pancoast passed away far too young at the age of 19. 

Dylan experienced a massive aneurysm which ultimately resulted in his untimely death. It was as unpredictable as it was tragic. Through this tragedy the Pancoast family has found it's greatest solace in that Dylan's legacy will continue beyond his life. Dylan had the very rare opportunity afforded to less than 2% of all people who pass in a hospital to donate his heart and other vital organs. Dylan's heart will beat for another life. As of the morning after his passing Dylan has already saved two lives and spared those families the suffering that the Pancoasts have endured. The Pancoast family realized that this opportunity was far too valuable to squander. However, this came at the cost of prolonging the goodbye process and extending Dylan's time in the hospital. 

No parent should have to endure such a loss. Similarly, nobody should have to experience the death of their teenage baby brother. This loss is difficult enough without the unbelievable and staggering financial burden. Dylan had a prolonged stay in the hospital riddled with numerous tests, procedures, imaging and specialists from all over the country. The cost that the family may incur could exceed $50,000.  

The Pancoast's humbly ask that all of you that have offered to help in any manner to consider this your opportunity. Their focus should be that of mourning and championing Dylan's legacy and new found appreciation for organ donation. Not for associated finances. Any help that you may provide would warrant our immeasurable gratitude.
