Hello, my name is Derek Dumas, and I am reaching out to seek financial assistance for my girlfriend, Kelly Hedgepeth, who is facing a challenging medical crisis. Currently, she is hospitalized in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) at LSU-Shreveport.

On April 25 of this year, Kelly was diagnosed with acute respiratory failure due to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). As a result of her condition, she is reliant on a ventilator for breathing support and is undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) treatment to oxygenate her blood. Furthermore, she has required a tracheostomy to assist with her breathing.

The medical expenses associated with her treatment are overwhelming, and I am struggling to cover her monthly expenses and hospital bills during this difficult time. Any financial support you can provide would be immensely appreciated and would greatly relieve some of the burden we are facing.

Thank you for considering helping Kelly and me during this challenging chapter in our lives. Your kindness means the world to us.
