A federal lawsuit, in a courtroom where we will be on a more even playing field with the individuals that have perpetrated these offenses is the next step.

In this episode of The Shine Brightly Podcast, GiveSendGo Co-founder Heather Wilson sits down with Eithan Haim, a 33-year-old general surgeon and whistleblower, about his fundraising campaign. Eithan shares his story of exposing misconduct at Texas Children's Hospital regarding their transgender program, which led to legislative changes in Texas. Despite facing legal challenges and personal attacks, Eithan remains committed to fighting for transparency and accountability in the medical field. “I knew that speaking out would necessarily put myself and my family at great risk, but after experiencing the extent of the corruption first-hand, it became clear that silence would never be an option. We paid (and are paying) an enormous price. We spent the entirety of our retirement, investments, savings, and almost all of our disposable income to pay the legal bills to keep the case alive….I do not bring this up to cast myself as the victim or grift for sympathy - because at the end of the day self-pity does nothing for you. We see this as the exact opposite - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand up for what is right and against those who abuse their authority to silence those who speak the truth. In this way the costs are miniscule. Whatever we have paid - whether financial, emotional, or career-wise - has been well worth it.” To read more and support Eithan’s campaign visit www.GiveSendGo.com/texas_whistleblower.
