Miracles happen, and Gailtree Basant and her family are waiting for just that this holiday season. They are waiting hundreds of miles from their Connecticut home in Boston. They wait near a hospital. They wait for the heart and lung her husband Bernard needs to live.
Miracles unfortunately don't pay for themselves. So the Basant family needs your assistance.
Gaitree,
an optical secretary for Opticare Eye Health and Vision Centers in Connecticut,
normally would never ask. This time is different. Benard was born with
Eisenmenger's syndrome. About year ago, he was hospitalized. His
physicians told him as he labored to breath that his heart and lungs
weren't working properly. He needed a heart and lung transplant. A few weeks ago, he was approved for the surgery.
The
family temporarily relocated to Boston, where the surgery will be
performed. Why the move? There's a good chance that he will have only two hours
from the time surgeons inform him that they have the heart and lung to
the start of the operation.
Gaitree estimates the family must
raise $50,000 to pay for expenses not covered by insurance. Work
associates and friends have raised a portion. You can help too. It's simple. Go to the Basant family's YouCaring website (click this link). Click the GIVE button and donate to the family's YouCaring PayPal account.
It's
not too often that you can help save a life with the click of a button.
So give with heart this season for a family that needs a new one.
