Hi, my name is Tonya Phelps. Me and my cousin Doris Zamojcin are putting together a fundraiser for our cousin Micheal Halcomb who was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). ALS is a rapidly progressing nervous system disease that attacks nerve cells that control voluntary muscles (muscles that we are able to control). When the cells die, muscle control and movement are lost leading to progressive weakness and disability. Losing the ability to use arms, legs, and body and the ability to breathe on their own. There is no cure for ALS, only treatment. Micheal is a loving husband and father. He is a devout Christian and is a member of Grace United Church. He has been an electrician for the last 8 years and due to his illness, he is no longer able to work. He is in the process of starting treatment and therapy. Unfortunately, insurance will only cover 1 of the 3 medications prescribed, leaving them to pay the rest out of pocket. The total amount of medications per month is roughly $20, 000 and these are medications essential for his well-being. Even with all that has happened this year and given his medical diagnosis, he is still working to do God's will with a positive attitude and a loving heart. Prayers and donations for this cause are VERY much appreciated. Attached below is a copy of Micheal's personal testimony. Thank you all in advance and God bless.
