Braxton’s Fight

UPDATE: Braxton lost his fight at 7:30 am February 7th. Please prayer for comfort and strength during this impossibly difficult time for the Hofman Family. 

I created this go fund me to help out the Hofman family with medical and living expenses while they navigate this difficult time to be with their oldest child. 

For those unaware, Braxton was  diagnosed with MIS-A after being admitted to the hospital in Sioux Falls earlier this week. Since then, his symptoms have worsened. He is experiencing a lot of pain, swelling, fluid retention, extreme skin sloughing and is currently on 24-hour kidney dialysis to help restart his kidney function. While the team in Sioux Falls is doing everything they can to help support Braxton, they recommend transferring to a larger hospital. A larger facility will better navigate his internal medical needs. As well as deal with the wounds created from the skin sloughing.

Braxton is currently suffering from multiple side effects, both known and unknown from contracting COVID. It is a multi-system inflammatory response from getting the virus, and since it is not well known, they are fighting a difficult battle. There have been extensive efforts to support him and keep him in this fight! Unfortunately, this is just the beginning, and he will need medical support for quite some time. His timeline for healing is unknown right now.  Right now, the two things we can do are to  pray without ceasing and ease the financial burden ahead of all of them. we ask that you continue to pray and pray hard for Braxton, his family, and his extended family. As well as donate if you can do so! All funds will go to Braxton and his parents to cover medical costs and living expenses to remain by his side! Prayer warriors let us come together to help support the family!
