A dad has suffered a rare and devastating stroke just weeks after having a baby.
Now family and friends of 37-year-old Kyle Dorosz are seeking help with expenses and responsibilities after the man suffered a sudden stroke.
The father was thankfully revived and responded well to various emergency surgeries performed after. However, his family says he is still in the Neurologic ICU with a team of medical professionals working "around the clock" to achieve the best possible outcome.
"There are very few people in this world who make everyone around them feel loved, feel comforted, feel cared for," the family wrote on Kyle's GoFundMe page. "Who make sure others feel seen. There are even fewer people who selflessly give themselves without a second thought, offering kindness, friendship, fatherhood, curiosity, and love to all those around them. Those who have met Kyle Dorosz, even briefly, know he is all of the above and more."
