Moses is in need of community support

Hello family and friends, this has been a challenging time for many. I am here to ask for support for Moses. On January 10th, Moses went into emergency surgery for a rare condition, abdominal compartment syndrome. For 23 days he was intubated, with a 10” open wound in his abdomen. After multiple surgeries, they were able to close the wound fully and take him off the ventilator. Moses is still in the ICU for an unknown amount of time. He is in PT & OT to learn how to stand, hold and recognize things. His recovery will be slow. We have been told 6-7 months. We are asking for help with basic bills: rent, car insurance, etc. His actual medical expenses are still unknown. It will take a lot of physical therapy and care, at a rehab facility and at home. Baylee, his dog, is being well cared for with a friend. Please consider contributing to help our family maintain his home, car, and health care needs. Sending you all love and thanks.

Moses, Birthday is on February 11th. He will be spending it at the hospital.

We are asking that no one texts him until he’s fully cognitive. If you’d like to send a card, the address is:
