This four month old needs community help to breathe

A four month old Espanola boy needs community support to help him breathe a little easier. Karson McCutcheon has been in and out of hospitals since November because he was having problems breathing.

A trach was inserted in January, which is working, and allowed for him to come home from an Ottawa area hospital. Now, the family is looking to buy a five-thousand dollar Airvo system to help him breathe at night. There is no support program to pay for the system which warms the air.

The family has set up  a Go Fund Me page to help pay for the expense.

A local bank account in the name of Ken McCutcheon has been set at Caisse Populaire in Espanola.
Donations can be made in person or online at: http://www.gofundme.com/karsonmccutcheon
A coin jar has also been set up at the pharmacy at Winkel’s Your Independent Grocers.
