Bella’s Fight

This is the story of the Pacl family. Both Bella and Brett are Strongsville HS alum and live in Parma, OH currently. Bella has been extremely sick for the last 5 years with a mystery autoimmune disease that no doctor has been able to properly diagnose. Her husband Brett, a Navy veteran, had to come home from deployment to be Bella’s care-giver 24/7, and now neither of them can work. Their 5 year old daughter has severe, non-verbal autism so Brett is caring for her also while trying to keep Bella stable and managing all of her meds and Dr/ER visits. After years of exhaustive testing and countless stays at Cleveland Clinic, they have been told they need to go to the Mayo Clinic for further evaluation and treatment. The problem is, Bella is too sick to fly. She is on constant IV meds and cannot sit upright or stand for long periods without her heart crashing. Therefore, they have been told to find a way to get an RV to drive from Ohio to the Mayo Clinic in MN.  Our mission is to help them raise the funds buy a used RV so they can make the 10+ hour journey.  They have also been told they are going to lose their house in the next few months and plan to live out of this RV until they can get back on their feet.  Their whole story can be read on their blog.  I share this in the hopes that you might be inclined to help. They have sold practically everything they own and are struggling to survive both literally and financially. This man who once served his country is now fighting to keep his wife alive and get her the help she so desperately needs. I appreciate you reading this and am happy to answer any questions you have. https://helpthehero.wordpress.com
