Help Patrick Ayers Through His Brain Surgery

Help My Son Get the Life-Saving Brain Surgery He Needs

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

My name is Susan. I’m reaching out with the heaviest heart and the deepest hope. My son, Patrick, is currently fighting one of the biggest battles of his life—a severe brain injury that now requires, life-saving surgery.

This journey began when he fell out of a second story window. Since then, our world has turned upside down. Patrick is a bright, brave, and beautiful 15-year-old who has always brought light to those around him. Seeing him in pain, unable to do the things he loves, has been heartbreaking beyond words.

Hence, Patrick Ayers, 15 years old, in Fort Myers, Florida, sadly is in need of a brain resection as they have found his left hippocampus and amygdala are severely damaged and need removal. This brain resection will be a very difficult surgery. We are thankful for the expertise of the neurosurgeon team at Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital.

Doctors have told us that this surgery is our best—and only—option to give Patrick a real chance at recovery and a future. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery, post-operative care, therapy, and travel expenses has placed an overwhelming financial burden on our family.

We’re humbly asking for your help - really even a $1 helps with the gas for the trips back and forth from St Petersburg for his Medical treatment.

Every donation—no matter the size—brings us one step closer to giving Patrick the care he needs. If you can’t donate, we completely understand. Sharing this page and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers means the world to us, too.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Your kindness is helping to give our son the chance to heal, to grow, and to live the life he deserves.

I, his mom, have had to put my work on hold for 3 months at least to assist as his solo caregiver as well as my mother's caregiver who is 87 years old and has dementia.

Prayers and any support in any way are much appreciated.

With endless gratitude,

Susan
