Help Enrique Recover From Open Heart Surgery

Donation protected
Hey freaks, Enrique still here thanks to NorthWestern Hospital. So Sunday the 15th of October I went to the ER at Saint Mary's because of chest pain & struggling to breathe. There I found out I had Pneumonia in both my lungs, as well as an Aortic Aneurysm and an Aortic Dissection. I was then transfered to NorthWestern Hospital in a critical care ambulance where they perfermormed an emergency open heart surgery to repair my dissection and replace my aortic valve. Basically resulting in me being in the hospital for just over 2 weeks, where I learned to rebuild my strength and get set up with out patient therapists and doctors.

This is just the begining of this journey that is coming with alot of changes. This surgery is not just one I have to physically recover from but the problems I had with my heart are things that I will have to continue to see doctors for and stay medicated for the rest of my life. I am currently uninsured, so I am already drowing in medical debt on top of being a broke boy. It is really unknown when I will be able to return to work and what that will even look like for me when the time comes. With all of this going on I am asking for financial support to keep my housing, paying bills, medications, tackling ongoing medicals bills, and other essentials during this time. Big thanks to anyone taking the time to read this. Please share and donate if you are able. Anything and everything will help!

Still Here,
-Enrique
