Help for Ray and Julie Freeman travel expenses
Donation protected
My name is Colette Cruise. This is a request from sisters and brother and I for my mother, and stepfather, Julie and Ray Freeman. On May 3, 2021, Ray suffered a massive stroke due to a ruptured brain aneurysm and is currently in ICU. My mother found him and was able to call 911 quickly. However, after being rushed to UF Hospital in Jacksonville, they life flight him to Gainesville to quickly perform two, lifesaving procedures to start draining the excess fluid and blood in his brain then followed by another procedure to fix one of the ruptures and coil off two other aneurysms that have not ruptured yet. He is currently still in ICU. He responds very minimum to stimulus during his daily tests and is now on kidney dialysis. He has an upcoming procedure that will place a permanent shunt since he no longer can drain the spinal fluid around his brain and a tracheostomy. All funds raised will be used to help my mother pay for hotel, food and transportation costs. He is expected to be in ICU for at least 2-3 more weeks. We will provide updates as we get them.
