The Heeren family needs us to unite to raise money to
help Breanna with her battle against Cystic Fibrosis.
Please show your support!
Ever since Breanna was 2 months old she has been in and out of the hospital. It wasn't until she was 9 months old that they made one diagnosis of Chiari Malformation and hydrocephalus. In June 2008, she had her first brain surgery for a VP shunt. However, there was not much improvement in her health a month later and then within that month she was diagnosed with Bilateral Kidney Reflux in which that was corrected in 2011. In August of 2008, she had a g-tube inserted into her abdomen to help her gain weight. A few weeks from that procedure, she came down with a bacterial infection called "pseudomonas"which was found in her urine. This prompted another hospital stay in which doctors confirmed her having Cystic Fibrosis, which is a life threatening terminal illness that destroys the lungs and digestive system. In October 2008, she had her second brain surgery. She has spent years in physical and occupational therapy to help with the affects of the brain abnormalities. Last year she was also diagnosed with severe asthma compromising her lungs even more. Her greatest battles in the last few years is her ability to fight to breathe due to the deterioration of her lung function. This past year alone she has spent approximately 60 days inpatient at the Children's Hospital of Illinois in which her hospitalizations are occurring about every 3 months. She is currently on a regimen of medications that requires about 20 pills a day, 4 breathing nebulizer treatments every 3-4 hours, vest therapy and antibiotics to prevent infection. Recently they have found out that all of this treatment is no longer substantially working enough therefore requiring another heavy treatment plan of a med called, "Cayston" and it's machine called, "Eflow". However, even though she needs this machine to stay alive, their insurance is fighting them on some of these meds because two of them combined are $15,000 a month. And along with all of Breanna's medical issues, her older sister Brooklin was diagnosed as being autistic, asthmatic and has an endocrine disorder.
Here he goes again. Danny is asking for money to save his granddaughters life.
Hell yes, I am! I would do ANYTHING to save ANY of my granddaughters.
I would sacrifice my own life to save one of them, so I will never let my own pride prevent me from "BEGGING" for a donation for Breanna.
How many of us could come up with over $15,000 a month just for medicine?
We all know how the insurance companies are fighting every claim we make, so how accepting do you think they are of these massive expenses?
If you can click on the link I've provided and NOT have it in your heart to donate a few bucks for Breanna, then God bless you, and peace be with you.
When you click on the link, it makes it easy to make a donation.
The "Eflow" machine Breanna needs is very expensive, the medicine is expensive...but together...as a large family...with the love of Christ in our hearts...we can keep Breanna breathing!
It's not the time for words, it's time for 5 dollars..10 dollars...
I'm sure some of you have sent a donation for her in the past, maybe some of you are angry with me for asking for help again...I don't care...what would you do?
This can only work as a group effort, and with God's help.
Here is the link again:
All of you that know me, know how hard this is for me to beg, but please, in the name of God, help Breanna with a donation!
Examine your heart and listen to what it tells you, this is not some abstract charity on TV where 90% of the donations go to administrative costs.
This is personal, this is for real, this is to keep a six year old girl breathing.
Sincerely,
Danny
