Sixteen-year-old Mason Wright should be focused on school, sports, and the milestones every teenager looks forward to. Instead, she is preparing for a life-saving surgery after being diagnosed with severe mid-aortic syndrome. Her condition requires an extensive procedure at Duke University Hospital that will place her on heart-lung bypass and involve removing multiple organs so surgeons can bypass her aorta between her heart and lower extremities. It is a complex operation, but one her medical team believes will save her life.
Mason’s father, Summerville Police Chief Doug Wright, is a long-time member of the Fraternal Order of Police and a respected leader in our law enforcement community. While he is known for his service, he has always been a private person, especially when it comes to his family. But as Mason’s situation became more urgent, those close to the family asked how they could help, and a fundraiser was created to support the unexpected financial strain of her medical journey.
Mason’s path to this moment began with a routine sports physical and a mother who acted quickly when something didn’t seem right. She spent two weeks at the Medical University of South Carolina in July, including ten days in the ICU, undergoing testing and treatment. As plans for surgery progressed, a sudden change in insurance coverage disrupted her case file and forced the family to rebuild documentation at the same time her surgical timeline was moved up by six months due to the severity of her condition.
With Mason’s surgery scheduled out of state, her parents will need to stay near the hospital for an extended period. Expenses for lodging, meals, and travel are significant and not covered by insurance. The fundraiser aims to bridge this gap so the Wright family can remain focused on Mason’s recovery, not the mounting costs around it.
The Wright family is grounded in faith and strengthened by a community that cares. If you feel compelled to support them during this difficult time, your contribution, no matter the amount, will help provide stability as they navigate the weeks ahead.
