Help Brian Ferdinando afford surgery

Hi, my name is Heather Baird, and I am raising funds for my friend Kelly's father-in-law, Brian Ferdinando (widower of Valerie Ferdinando). He was recently told he needs surgery to repair the iliac arteries in both of his legs. The iliac arteries supply blood flow to the legs, feet and pelvic region. His arteries are starting to expand and if they were to burst, his chance of survival is slim to none.

His surgery will be scheduled soon and will require an overnight stay. Unfortunately, Brian does not have health insurance so the surgery and hospital stay will cost around $35,000. Any money received over the goal will go to paying down Valerie's previous medical bills.

Brian means so much to Kelly, her husband Peter and their son Lucas, and it would be a great blessing to have the stress of this situation eased a bit. We all appreciate any help you can give, and sharing will help a great deal, too. Thanks for your consideration.
