Battle for Health!

Donation protected
Hello, friends. A big heartfelt thanks for taking the time to check in on this page. Many of you know Brent and have been blessed to share his friendship, support and love over the years. 

Brent has faced some challenging health hurdles beginning in 2010 when he was diagnosed with Lupus and Auto Inflammation Disease.  The progression of his illness seems to be getting worse.  He now has  advanced gum disease, where his upper & lower jawbone have started to melt away. This will most likely require surgery and braces.  Adding to his list of obstacles, he was recently diagnosed with cancer, a severe intestinal fungus infestation, high levels of mold and mercury, and H. pylori a (very dangerous & toxic bacteria) Many of these oral and autoimmune treatments are outside of his insurance.

Up to this point, Brent has shouldered the financial burden of medical costs. As you can imagine, however, expenses have increased and will only compound with everything he is facing. The arrival of COVID has done nothing to help. This is where we’d like to call on you—friends, acquaintances, and loved ones—to help Brent meet these challenges head-on so he can make a full recovery. Any assistance no matter how small will be greatly appreciated.

Brent and his team of doctors estimate that full recovery could take up to two to three years! Short-term goals include cancer surgery and oral surgery for his gum disease. In the mid to long term, he hopes to cure his Lupus & Auto Inflammation Disease, rid himself of the daily toxic overload from the fungus, mold, mercury and H. pylori and fix his oral health issues, which go hand-in-hand with the auto immune diseases.

The good news is Brent has been told by all his doctors and dental surgeons that all the numerous problems are curable and that a full recovery is attainable given the right treatments and surgeries but much isn't covered by his insurance. This is truly a Battle for Health for Brent! 

We sincerely hope you’ll consider assisting Brent in anyway you can. Please be assured that ALL money donated will go directly to offset these upcoming medical costs as well as payoff medical bills already incurred.

Should you have any questions or would like to send well wishes, please contact him through Facebook.

Again, thank you for taking time to read Brent’s story and for considering making a donation. We will post updates as they become available. Blessings to you all and if you are willing to share this with your community and get the word out we would certainly appreciate the kind gesture.
