Hope for little Odin
Donation protected
Please help Odin and his family raise money for portable concentrator and help awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension.
Mothers message: Our son Odin is 4 years old. He has idiopathic, severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. Doctors still aren't sure of his future but we are trying to stay as positive as we can. He has a g-tube for supplemental nutrition and medicine.
Along with his other medications he now has to receive weekly infusions to help his fragile immune system fight off infection.
His 24/7 oxygen supply comes from a stationary oxygen concentrator which is a large, cumbersome machine. The tubing cannot be very long or it does not supply adequate oxygen to his body which causes fainting, vomiting and compromises his heart and lungs even further than they already are by the disease. MassHealth does not cover the cost of the type of portable oxygen concentrator that would allow Odin the freedom to move more than 2 feet from away from his oxygen.
I am unable to work due to Odin’s constant medical needs therefore we are living on one income and can just make our monthly expense payments. We are hoping to raise enough funds to purchase the portable concentrator. No amount is too little.
Please help us provide a better quality of life to our happy, vibrant, loving boy.
Thank you.
