Support Greg Stassen and his family

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Greg Stassen. Five years ago I learned that I have Coronary Heart Disease and was forced to recieve my first stent. It was extremely hard to accept this new reality. Earlier this year in January, 2015, I had my first heart attack which sent me to the E.R. and had to have a second stent placed. I also learned that there were many more blockages around my heart that were to small to fix at that time. I became a ticking time bomb. Then two weeks ago, the bomb went off and I had my second heart attack. It turns out there were too many blockages to stent open so I needed to have bypass surgery. After futher investigation by the doctors, a  Quadruple Bypass open heart surgery was needed  along with a Endarterectomy of the left anterior decenting artery, which is when they cut open the artery, clean it out and stitch it closed. I know Coronary heart bypass surgery is extrememly expensve and we are not sure what my out of pocket expense will be. This was extremely scary for both my family and I. Thankfully all went well and I have them by my side for support. I will be out of work until mid February for recovery and rehabilatation. I ask for your help supporting my beautiful family Tara (wife), Bryce (son), and Breanna (daughter) with paying our monthly expenses while Im unable to work. My wife still works full time, but we are still unable to cover our monthly exspenses. This was a huge surprise to all of us and any help would be a TREMENDOUS blessing. I could never say thank you enough to anyone with a heart big enough to help my family and I through this tramatic time of need. Thank you and god bless!
