John will be having a surgery after Thanksgiving to have tumors removed. He's had tumors removed years ago but they grew back & spread, he's been experiencing symptoms that are causing complications. He's had 5 open heart surgeries & few heart procedures along with other serious health issues that makes this situation more complicated. As he faces yet another challenging time in his young life, we often come across hurdles whether it be making appointments & arranging travel, there's been times we've had to pay for hotel out of pocket even if he was confirmed for patient housing or a hotel, we just would like to be prepared if faced with these situations. We are unsure of the length of the stay as well so having extra funds help with necessities & other expenses. We are grateful for all that have offered their support & encouragement throughout his life.
