Austin Kern, a devoted father of three, a dedicated coach to local youth sports teams, a passionate softball player, and a committed member of the DJ Basin Energy Industry, is facing a critical medical challenge.

Austin is about to undergo a major surgical procedure to combat a severe infection in his facial bones and jaws. This surgery is vital to prevent the infection from spreading to his brain or causing sepsis in his body. The estimated cost of the procedure alone is upwards of $25,000. Austin has already incurred over $5,000 in out-of-pocket expenses. This surgery and the year-long recovery process will significantly impact his ability to work and enjoy the activities he loves.

The community is rallying to support Austin and his family during this difficult time. They are facing substantial medical bills and a challenging recovery period. You can help ease their burden by contributing to a fundraising effort to cover the medical costs and ensure Austin can focus on healing.
