Sharif's Brain Surgery Recovery Fund
Donazione protetta
My brother Sharif collapsed on August 8, 2019 at around 7:30am at the bus stop on the way to work. He was coughing hard from a mild case of bronchitis then suddenly fainted.
Right after, he began to have a seizure for around 30-40 seconds. Luckily he was with a friend who helped him home. At home he began to vomit and then felt an excruciating pain in the back of his head.
An hour or so later the vomiting didn’t stop and the pain got worse so he was rushed to the hospital. After some blood tests and CT scan the doctors found out that he had a subarachnoid hemorrhage in his brain.
He was then rushed into the surgery room for an emergency operation. The doctors suspected the bleeding was from a brain aneurysm which was confirmed after performing a Cerebral angiogram. Immediately following this confirmation the doctors performed Endovascular coiling to stop the bleeding from the aneurysm in his brain.
After a few hours in the operating room, Sharif was transferred over to the ICU. The surgery itself was thankfully a success, he is currently still in the hospital and will be there for the next 7-10 days.
Sharif will greet a complete stranger with the same love that he will show a friend he has known his whole life! He has supported so many people in big and small ways during his life - it is because of that reason that I am starting this fundraiser for him.
Sharif had just about to start a new job ( which he will not be able to start of course) , and put down a deposit to rent an apartment just next to his new job. (which he will loose, as he will have to live with family to be supported) Trying to get his life in order, then this awful unexpected situation took us all by surprise.
He will be out of work for a significant and undetermined amount of time. There will be associated costs for medical care, rehabilitation, and general bills during his extended recovery. No amount is too small, and every donation helps.
