Help with Nate’s recovery and medical bills
Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Gabe and I’m doing this fundraiser for my younger brother Nate. As many of you know - Nate had a total freak accident this past Saturday and his right eye was severely damaged and he lost his vision in his right eye. Nate was taken to the ER in Yuma on Saturday night and they right away rushed him by helicopter to Phoenix Children’s Hospital that night where they cared for him until his first surgery on Sunday. By the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ… the first surgery was a success and they were able to save his right eye as he almost lost it. However that was just the first surgery, my brother has another surgery coming up to try and repair the cataract in his right eye lens which doctors are hoping will help bring back some vision in his right eye in time. The first surgery was to save his eye, but the second surgery is to try and bring back vision in the right eye. We are grateful to God that Nate is doing better now and his eye was saved - but as of now he is technically blind in his right eye. Nate and my parents are currently still in Phoenix with medical specialists to determine the plan for his eye and for the next surgery. Of course with all this happening so quickly and unexpectedly the medical expenses will be large, but any help and support is greatly appreciated by our family and by Nate. My brother is doing better now and he is in good spirits, but he has a long road to recovery for his eye and it will take time. Our prayer is that the Lord would do a miracle and restore his vision in his right eye in time. We know the doctors can say many things - but our God has the final say!
Thank you for your prayers and support!
