Hi, I'm Melissa Ketchum I have been fighting trachael steninos since June 2021 when my throat was burned by a ventilator. I coded at sovah hospital and was airlifted to VCU in richmond at that time they put a Stent in which helped my throat for a year. While a Stent is not long term option they took it out in March. Since March I have not been able to work... I have a 12 year old son that i have full custody of. Also since March me and My mother have been to richmond from danville weekly to do a balloon dilation of my throat which last roughly a week at a time and I'm back to gasping for breathe. Well June 20 I had major surgery called trachael reconstruction with this it should be a long term fix but I'm looking at 3 month recovery! I have been at VCU a week now with plans to come home monday but i am currently running out of money for groceries, regular bills, along with medical bills. Just putting gas in for my mom to get back and forth also. Please consider helping with anything even if it's just a prayer!! Wanna know more just message me!! Thank yall!!
