My name is Jeremiah Wheeler. I am raising funds for a friend, father, husband, and a great recovery agent, Mark Mason. He is facing a serious medical issue called an encephalocele, where part of his brain lining has pushed through a small gap in his skull near his forehead. While he doesn't have any fluid leaks now, surgery is needed to close the gap and reduce the risk of infections like meningitis. The plan is to undergo a specialized surgery with two surgeons on Monday, 10/21/24. He will be in ICU for nearly a week as part of the recovery process. The toll this will take on his finances will be unbearable, and we need to pitch in and help as much as possible. Please give anything you feel led to give and also keep him and his family in your prayers during this time.
