Description
Just days after his emergency brain surgery, a Capitol Hill business owner is recovering with his family while his customers are fundraising to help him pay for the staggering medical bills.
Abraham Aklilu is the owner of the East Olive Way King of the Hill convenience store, which he has owned for 20 years.
Aklilu became ill and was rushed to the hospital where doctors discovered he had bleeding in his skull that was putting pressure on his brain, according to a fundraiser created for Aklilu. He was rushed into emergency brain surgery early on the morning of Sept. 14.
Neighbors, friends and longtime shoppers of King of the Hill are banding together to help raise money to assist Aklilu with his medical expenses.
