Two years ago while helping coach his daughters softball team, Jason was accidentally hit in the head with a ball, which a CT scan for discovered a large brain tumor that had been undetected before.

Jason had a brain surgery in June of 2015, in which they were unable to remove the entire tumor. He also had complications and bleeding into the brain which required a second emergency surgery the next morning.

After the surgery, he suffered from visual loss and memory problems. A month ago, during a follow up MRI, it was shown that the remaining section of tumor had begun to grow.

He has a new neurosurgeon and will have to have a 3rd brain surgery in March to remove the rest of the tumor. The previous surgeon took the wrong approach the first time, and unfortunately It is still pressing on his optic nerve and is quite large still.

Jason is active duty military and has been a Seabee in the Navy for almost 17 years. His medical expenses are all covered by his insurance, however the new surgeon is in a different state and there will be hotel costs and gas for his wife to travel with him during the surgery and to visit him while he is still in the hospital for recovery.

He has 4 children ages 10 months to 16, and the added expense of hotel stays as well as his wife's income loss for time taken off for his surgery and recovery will take a toll on the family financially.

Anyone who is able to donate even something small would be a great help, as they have already gone through this before and this is now a new unexpected surgery and expenses they did not foresee coming.
