Jeremy Martin medical expenses

Donation protected
Hello everyone I am not a huge fan of Go Fund me because there are many people out here just looking for a hand out instead of working hard for what you want out of life.   I have seen very few that made me feel like it was something I wanted to help with. So why you ask am I sponsering one of these pages? It is for this young man pictured above. His name is Jeremy Martin, anyone who participated in Rec club sports in the late 80's , 90's and early 2000' s have played with this young man, his dad or one of his uncles. So why does someone who is only 20yrs old need so much money? During the end of August he was diagnosed with a urinary track infection, after a week on antibotics he was not any better so his parents too him to a local hospital where he tested positive for mono. By Sept 4th his young body had gone numb and he was admitted to the hospital where his family hoped and prayed the infection he had, had not moved into his nervous system. He underwent a spinal tap. The Drs came back with GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME this is the infection from Mono that attacks the Nervous System and Respiratory system. His blood pressure shot up dangerouly high so he was moved to the PCU unit of the hospital.  On top of everything else he was experiencing numbness that started in his toes and was moving up his legs.  The infectious disease Dr came in 5 days after he was admitted  to tell them that Jeremy has been diagnosed with bacterial Meningitis.  The numbness he was experiencing has moved to his mouth. He currently has a feeding tube because he has lost alot of weight and from what I have been told He hates this and really wants it removed.  This kid has a long road ahead of him . With a few more weeks in the hospital and  he will need rehab after that to help him learn how to use his legs again. Behind this kid he has two parents who are extreamly worried about there baby boy. I would like to be able to help them take care of Jermey and keep him as comfotable as possible while he fights all these nasty diseases. If there is anything you can do to help this family out with a small donation, Kind words, prayers I know it would be greatly appreciated. I will up date this sight as this change with Jeremy.  Thank you for anything you can do to help. The money will be used to help in Jeremy's care and therapy costs.
