My name is Melissa Dionne (GRAMS-currently “G”. I usually don’t do something like this but my heart is heavy and I felt I needed to share Colton’s story with others. I have a 3-year-old grandson who was born with a complex congenital heart disease, one being a problem with his pulmonary artery. When Colton was born, he was getting too much blood into his lungs and he required a procedure called pulmonary banding, which in turn made his pulmonary artery smaller, and that has caused the issues he is having now. He’s had several procedures done to try and fix it and nothing is working this far. However, now they want to do a more aggressive surgery again. This will make the 5th surgery he has had in his 3 years of life.
After speaking with doctors about Colton’s case, my daughter and son-in-law are in the process of getting a second opinion, which may take them to Boston Children’s Hospital. I am only looking to raise money for travel, food, and any unexpected expenses they may have while on this journey in Boston while they are trying to get Colton the best care he can get and to save his life.
We’re reaching out to friends, family and compassionate people everywhere who can help make this Boston journey, or wherever they may have to go to get the care Colton needs and make it a little easier for them.
Every dollar raised will go directly toward their trip.
Your contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial strain of having to eat or a place to stay while away from home.
If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with others, and keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Together, we can ease their worry.
Thank you in advance for your contribution. You have no idea how much it means to me to have your support.
