Hi, my name is Kristi. My good friend Ana's son, Eddy, needs to have an aortic valve replacement (open heart surgery). Two years ago, he almost lost his life to a bacterial blood infection, and now he is facing this major surgery, which was caused by the infection. This surgery will require 3-5 months of recovery. We want him to focus on getting better and not worry about the bills that will be piling up due to him not being able to work. We want to raise money to relieve his stress so he can keep up with his regular monthly expenses. Anything is appreciated and will help. Stay strong, Eddy.
