Hi. My name is Gary Coleman. I'm Gabriel Coleman's father. As some of you are aware, Gabriel is living in southern India and has been hospitalized with a tumor near his brain. This is a life threatening condition and will require major surgery. He will require 24 hour care for some time before and after surgery. At this point, he has no insurance nor is able to work to cover costs or pay bills. My plans are to fly to India to care for Gabriel and his needs (food, housing, and medical assistance) during this time for his recovery.

As a semi-retired, self-employed person, funds are limited and I need assistance in order to be there for him. It is essential for him to have family there to support him and oversee his recovery.

I am setting up this fundraiser account to help pay for the flight there and back, ticket for Gabriel's return, hospital bills, housing, food, etc.

Surgery is imminent. His doctors do not recommend that he travel as flying could endanger his wellbeing or life.

Therefore I will be traveling to India as soon as possible to be with my son during this scary and trying time.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness to our family and supporting us during this crisis.

I will update everyone as details become available.

Please keep Gabriel and his family in your prayers as we go through this time of healing. May you all be blessed for your kindness and generosity.
