Help Pay Kyle Osborne's $2M Medical Expenses

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Steve Kiely. My friend, Kyle Osborne, incurred over two million dollars of medical expenses in the past year. I am raising money to pay off the remaining medical expenses after insurance.

Kyle is a musician who moved to Durango a year ago to be the part-time Minister of Music at St. Mark's Episcopal Church. A few months after he arrived, he came down with bronchitis that quickly turned into pneumonia He was hospitalized and shortly thereafter placed on a ventilator. The strain of bacteria that infected his lungs resisted most antibiotics, and, to make matters worse, after a month he began having gastrointestinal problems (a side effect of the massive doses of medications he was receiving) that required emergency surgery. The doctors were finally able to find an antibiotic to fight the infection, and by mid-January Kyle was able to come off the ventilator, but still needed major surgery for his gastrointestinal organs. He was finally sent home on February 9th -- with accumulated medical expenses of over TWO MILLION DOLLARS. While his health insurance has covered much of that, he still owes a balance of over $14,000.

When Kyle came to Durango as a part time church musician, his intention was to build a music teaching practice in his first year. His illness derailed that plan, and now his debt is staggering in comparison to his free cash after living expenses.

We don't want Kyle to have to resort to bankruptcy to get out from under this burdensome debit. Please help in any way you can.
