Connor Artz is a 25 year old who was having a routine hip surgery on April 7 when he suffered a cardiac arrest that left him with a severe brain injury. He is currently in an ICU in the suburbs of Chicago.

We are raising funds to help Connor’s family with the costs of the life flight needed to transport Connor back home to Omaha. Insurance is not expected to cover the cost of this flight or the ancillary costs associated with transport, but Connor’s family wants to get him back to Omaha where he has a support system of family and friends.

Everyone who knows Connor knows what a wonderful person he is, and anything that can help alleviate the cost associated with bringing him home is appreciated.

Kathleen Artz, Connor's mother, has been added as the beneficiary and a cofounder of this campaign. She will be reaching out soon to update and thank everyone. She will be overseeing the withdrawal and management of funds.
