Helping Derek & Tracy Mercer❤

Donation protected

Most of you know Derek & Tracy Mercer and their situation but if you don't let me briefly explain. These two are the most kind and caring people you will ever meet! I know you hear that all the time but the difference between those people and these two is Derek's health. Derek has a very rare disease called Nemo which is an immunodeficiency disease that has caused his spleen to be removed, currently causing liver and kidney failure and much more. Derek has been lucky to find a hospital that knows about this diease and has been awesome to him, Tracy and their family. NIH(National Institute of Health) is a research hospital and without them unfortunately Derek probably wouldn't have made it this far...his disease causes random fevers, vomitting and much more and prevents him from working, although he still will sometimes(he's kind of stubborn but thats why we love him)! This GoFundMe is to help support these two while they cannot work, as we all know PTO hours ran out quickly! While he is in the hospital, out of state, Tracy goes back and forth to be there with him and help him through this journey and any money donated would go to helping them with housing up there for Tracy and their two daughters so they can be with Derek. Any amount helps, even $1, but also sharing and resharing this to help spread the word and also spread the word about Nemo so any other families going through this know there is hope! This family is incredible and they deserve to be together and not have to worry about expenses or bills so please help if you can. Thank you❤
