Jason Pillow's ALS Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Most patients with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, for the famous baseball player who succumbed to the disease are diagnosed after the age of 50 and die within five years of their diagnosis. However, Jason Pillow's condition was first diagnosed when he was 21, and he was not expected to see his 25th birthday.
It was behind bars that Jason began to experience the first symptoms. While writing to his family, he noticed that his hand started shaking. The condition worsened, and Jason was diagnosed with ALS. As the disease progressed, it became impossible to provide him with the proper medical attention in the penitentiary. Jason was released.
But that is not the only salvation he is thankful for. The less control he had over his body, the more he rediscovered his hunger for learning. In studying tirelessly and looking for opportunities to share his story, Jason found a purpose that has kept him going. An inspiration to many in his area, he wants to educate young people to choose a better path in life than the one he got on.
The disease is strong, and without access to the means of someone like Stephen Hawking, Jason is in dyre need of better care and living conditions in order to continue with his important mission. That is why I, along with his family and friends, have set up a GoFundMe campaign for Jason Pillow.
