I'm writing this to ask for your "Help" with someone very close to me. Scott is like a brother to me and needs all of our help. We all know Scott would give the shirt off of his own back to anyone in need, even if it meant he would struggle. We'll SCOTT is now struggling.

Back in June ~ 2013, Scott started going through Chronic Abdominal Pain and he underwent several tests that revealed issues with his thyroid, lung, parathyroid and IVC filter. He suffered for 1 year until he was finally diagnosed with (MALS)..Median Arculate Ligament Syndrome. He underwent this very difficult procedure as well as a Celiac Plexus Neuropathy. Incidentally they found 2 (GIST) Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumors, which is a sarcoma. In addition, Scott had a resection of his intestines and stomach, but he lost alot of time from work and incurred over $5,000 in medical bills which he now owes out of pocket.

Scott was doing well until January ~2016. In January ~ 2016 until March, he again underwent numerous testing...No one could figure out what was wrong with Scott until he saw a neurologist.

March 29,2016 began yet another incredibly and painful road for him. Scott underwent treatment for Guillian Barre Syndrome. This Treatment of IVIG continued for 5 days which was followed by 1 week of in-house physical therapy so he could learn to walk and gain his strength back.

On April 13, 2016, Scott went home to continue recovering, only he noticed an increase in pain and weakness just 2 days after he was discharged from the hospital.

On April 18, 2016 Scott was again admitted only to undergo yet another 5 days of IVIG treatment.

April 22, 2016 Scott began another round of physical and occupational therapy. He was walking an average of 50 steps a day with a walker.

Please help Scott raise money to pay his out-of-pocket insurance costs, as well as his Insurance premiums. His costs continue to accumulate daily. We need to help Scott raise $7,000. to cover both past and current medical expenses, as well as any  future and ongoing expenses,  plus approximately $300.00/per month for his insurance premium. Any amount will help. Please consider donating today.

Let us "WALK WITH SCOTT" and show him we are here for him in His Time Of Need.
Thank you,

Joanie Howard
