“Life truly can change in an instant.

According to the GoFundMe linked on the VPR stars’ pages, Montana suffered three seizures on Nov. 27, and went to the hospital, where a tumor was discovered on his brain. Doctors weren’t unable to immediately operate, as Montana’s kidneys were not functioning properly. On Monday, he underwent surgery to remove the tumor.

The goal is listed as $100,000 to support his medical expenses following the surgery. As of Monday, $86,316 had been raised. So far, there has been no update regarding his recovery from surgery.
