Medical expense fund for Steve Patruno

Friends,

For well over a decade, my dear friend Steve Patruno and his family have been battling an extremely rare disease called Erdheim Chester Disease. This terrible disease, which has only 300 known cases worldwide, has brought Steve and his family to the brink of financial, physical and emotional ruin. ECD, which has no known cure and only experimental treatments, has left Steve in need of yet another surgery to remove all or part of a lesion in his brain that is causing several issues. It has left Steve in need of daily personal care by his devoted wife Ally. The funds raised here will go directly to help pay for the surgery, physical therapy, and other treatments that insurance just won't cover. We humbly ask for your support and donations. We appreciate that everyone has their own personal battles and difficulties. If you have the ability to help, it will certainly help make a difference. Thank you!
