My name is Dalton Robinson, and I am raising money to help pay bills while I am recovering from double brain surgery. I have a very rare brain disease called MoyaMoya, it means puff of smoke in Japanese. All the blood vessels in my brain sit at the base and don’t give my brain enough blood or oxygen. They are going to be doing my first bypass surgery on April 13th on the right side of my brain. Six weeks after they operate the right side, they will be doing the same procedure on the left side. I will be out of work for 3 to 5 months recovering from my surgeries. I was diagnosed with MoyaMoya on June 6th, 2020. I had my first stroke in August of 2020, and I had a hemorrhagic stroke on January 31, 2022. I was out of work for almost 2 weeks, and we fell behind on bills. I am back working currently until I go in for my surgery. I have however, had to cut my hours due to some complications from the stroke. The goal of my upcoming surgeries is to improve my blood flow so I can return to work full time after I have recovered. 
    My wife, kids, and mother-in-law are there for me and helping me through this trying time and I am very grateful for them. I am also very grateful for all the people I work with and how understanding and supportive they have been with my health problems and my sons, one of which also suffers from MoyaMoya. I am so grateful to have such an amazing support system behind me that is there for me when I need them. 
    We first learned about MoyaMoya in February of 2019 when our son had a massive stroke that essentially killed the entire left side of his brain. He had the surgery and is now thriving. I hope and pray that the surgery works for me as well. I am trying to stay positive and hopeful. I am very thankful to have a strong support system standing behind me and helping me. I am very grateful for any help that anyone might be able to provide and thank you for reading a little about me and my family. 
    I know that I am asking for a lot to help with bills and other necessities while I am recovering, what is left once I return to work will be donated to the MoyaMoya Foundation to help other families that are struggling like we are. Thank you again for your time we appreciate it all. 
    MoyaMoya Strong!!!
