Coleman Merenda is only 31 years old, but he's battling advanced congestive heart failure. Due to this condition, his doctors have recommend he receive a Barostim device implant - a device that generates electrical impulses to regulate blood pressure and improve heart function. This should then improve his quality of life and abilities to function in day to day living while he waits for a heart transplant.

This procedure is Coleman's best ”next step,” but it comes with a hefty out-of-pocket cost of $7,000 that our family cannot afford on our own. It is tough for his family to see him struggling with such a serious illness at his young age. He has fought hard, but this expensive device is what he needs to keep living.

We are humbly asking for your support to help raise the $7,000 Coleman needs to cover his portion of the Barostim device cost. Any donation, no matter how small, gets him one step closer to getting this potentially life-saving treatment.

Coleman is an amazing son, brother, and friend. He has lost much because of this medical condition, yet he has put so much into this fight against heart failure. Please consider contributing if you can, and share this campaign with your network. We appreciate any help during this difficult time.
