Donation protected
Hi my name is Teri , I am Dennis's Mom ...
I am starting a Go Fund Me for My Son
He has worked since he was 15 and always got by on his own, as we know it's tough especially now , well his Boss sold his company without Dennis knowing and he has a week to work , he was without insurance and income , he did however get a new job he was supposed to start working Monday 4/29/24... would have had health insurance....
Saturday 4/27/24 he went to the eye Dr thinking he needed new glasses , he was suffering severe migraines and blurry vision .... they sent him immediately to JFK hospital Emergency Room with a script of what to do .... we were petrified, he was so scared his fiance and stepson were panicked , his Blood pressure was 266/189 it was crazy high his retinas were swollen it is called papilledema and it was a life and death situation, he was sent immediately to CCU telling us it is a medical emergency.... so they did multiple CT Scans, MRI's, nuclear testing , his labs were horrible they put him on 4 blood pressure medications, heparin shots so many medications , hooked up to eggs, echo cardiagrams , his creatinine was so high they did kidney testing , come to find out he was born with 1 kidney , it's OK I lost my kidney , we can all live with 1 provided your careful healthy diet etc....
Then they said he had something on his heart !
Well he most certainly did .... it is called a widow maker , a blockage needed a Stent at 99% blocked , he could have died at any time .... We are ALL in shock and worried , he Loves his son and fiance so much but is overwhelmed with fear and anxiety of his medicines, his dr appointments, his unable to work ... we have NO idea how much 7 nights in CCU and all the tests, meds, we figured out his meds without coupons are almost $4000 a month , with coupons $400 a month I am trying to help raise money for medications , time off work, bills etc.... I Thank God this was caught .... Please help his Family , he has done so much work to help others in need , abused woman and children , helped them move in threatening situations even if he was at risk , Biancas kids , homeless , and hurricane victims .... I am so proud of the philanthropic work he does ... he Never thought that being without insurance for 2 weeks would leave him in this way
Thank You in advance for helping it is really appreciated
