Our Grandson Mordachi was severely burned as a 5yo in 2013 when a firework 60’ away malfunctioned, launched horizontally & hit his chest. He was airlifted to an out of state burn center to save his life. He lost the skin, nerve endings and sweat glands on his chest, arms & backs of his hands requiring extensive grafting.
Then when he was 12yo his Dad (our son) unexpectedly died of a brain hemorrhage leaving his Mom a widow with 4 children and a mortgage.
Grandson is now 16yo and needs surgery because his thick scar tissue from those 5yo’s grafts won’t stretch to fit his 16yo body. The photo shows his right arm & hand as an example of the severity of his injuries. Surgery is scheduled for June 13.
Mom’s insurance plan year is 9/1 to 8/31 and has $12,000 annual deductible. She will owe 1st $12,000 for the surgery in this current plan year & a 2nd $12,000 for his extended followup care as of 9/1. Plus Mom will not be able to work for up to 6weeks to travel to surgery & provide aftercare— but her monthly bills will continue.
