Hi, my name is John Griffin, and I’m reaching out for your support to help fund a surgery that could change—and potentially save—my nephew Grant's life.

A while ago, he suffered from a pilonidal cyst that escalated into a serious medical emergency. His fever spiked to a life-threatening 107 degrees, and was hospitalized for over a week while doctors worked around the clock to stabilize him. It was one of the scariest experiences of his/my life, and I/he never want to go through anything like it again.

That’s why we are preparing and needing for a Bascom cleft lift surgery, a specialized procedure that can eliminate the root cause of these cysts and significantly reduce the chances of another painful and dangerous recurrence.

Unfortunately, this surgery is costly, and not all of it is covered by insurance. Between the procedure itself, travel expenses (as only a few surgeons specialize in it), and recovery time, I’m asking for your help to make this possible.

Anything you can contribute—whether a donation or a share—means the world to me. Your support will help ensure my nephew Grant stays healthy and out of the hospital for good.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.
