Hello! My name is Veronica and I am raising money to help support my brother Zach and his family through a medical emergency they are facing. Zach was recently told he needs to have a hip replacement, as a healthy 31 year old. He is currently in a lot of pain and can’t put any weight on that leg. For an unknown reason (it could have been a childhood injury or congenital defect), his femoral bone has deteriorated to the point there is no other option. Zach and his sweet wife Joanna have 4 young boys and Joanna stays home raising and homeschooling them. Zach is the primary source of income for the family and his job does not offer a lot of paid time off. Their cost out of pocket for this surgery plus physical therapy will be in the tens of thousands, plus the loss of income while he is out of work.
