ALS Funding For Casey Arvel

My name is Casey Arvel. I am 24 years old. I was diagnosed with Als (Lou Gehrig's disease) in December of 2015. Als is a progressive nervous system (neurological) disease that destroys nerve cells and causes disability. ALS is a type of motor neuron disease in which nerve cells gradually break down and die. Average life expectancy after diagnosis is 2-5 years, but I refuse to give up hope and let this disease control my future. After being diagnosed, my amazing girlfriend and I decided to get married. We got married on May 21, 2016. It was the greatest day of my life, until we started a family. On April 14, 2017 we welcomed Casey Paul Arvel Jr. into the world. Though we haven't let this disease stop us from experiencing the greatest joys, progression has been steady. I can no longer walk and have been confined to a power wheelchair. With no wheelchair accessible vehicle it isn't an easy task getting around for doctor appointments. I'm asking for any donations to help my family get a wheelchair accessible vehicle. Every donation helps.My family and I would like thank everyone for the help and for following our story. God bless!!
