<div>Ben &amp; Chantelle recently received devastating news their 3rd grade son, <strong>Damien Hudachek</strong>, has a mass on his cerebellum - the part of the brain responsible for balance and coordination.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family is praying the mass is benign (best-case scenario), but Damien<strong> needs surgery as soon as possible</strong>. The upcoming surgery will determine the type of tumor and treatment plan going forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Damien needs neurosurgery soon and the risks are significant.</strong> His hospital stay is expected to be 7-10 days, with the first several days in the ICU. Depending on how he recovers, Damien may require ongoing rehabilitation and follow-up care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Hudachek's use Medi-Share, a Christian medical sharing program that helps with routine medical needs but can leave families with extremely high out-of-pocket costs for major procedures like neurosurgery, ICU care, and rehabilitation. <strong>The surgery cost alone is estimated to be $163,000 out of pocket with 50% due to schedule the surgery, as of 12/2/2025 AM. </strong>This means the Hudachek family needs to pay $82,000 just to get Damien on the surgeon's calendar!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The financial impact of this surgery &amp; treatment is crippling.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are coming together to support this wonderful family during an unimaginable time. <strong>Every prayer, every share, and every donation helps lighten their burden so they can focus on Damien's healing. </strong>As the family continues to look into options, updates will be provided.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for surrounding the Hudachek family with love. Please keep Damien, his family, and his medical care team in your prayers.
