I am here today on behalf of my son, Chase Hayles. If he were alive today, I know with certainty that he would have come to tell his story himself.
Chase was a childhood cancer survivor. He was 33 and otherwise healthy when he was admitted to a West Houston Hospital for breathing problems on Nov. 14, 2021. He passed away this year on Feb. 18, after a five-year fight to receive a kidney transplant following what I believe was unauthorized and unnecessary Remdesivir treatment in November 2021.
