While Aiden Moreno is pitching for the All Star Pinto team this summer, his father, Craig is in the CCU at Stanford, fighting for his life and hoping for the miracle of a second heart transplant.
Craig started off this past season as assistance coach for the Pinto Rangers, but was sidelined with congestive heart failure when his body began to suddenly reject the heart he has had for seven years. Coach Moreno is also a long time Pop Warner Raiders Coach.
Doctors are talking about transferring him soon to UCSD or USC to implant an artificial heart in order to keep him alive until a new donor heart can be found. Aidan's mother, Janine is a Hair Stylist here in town at Shear Color and Design. The family is under tremendous stress struggling to pay for hospital bills, gas for commuting to and form Stanford and childcare. |
