Give relief to Amber’s unbearable pain.

Donation protected
Imagine a lightning bolt of level 10 pain being hurled into your cheek 24/7 with absolutely no breaks. Well, that is what my daughter Amber is going through.

My name is Jay, and I'm reaching out to share my daughter Amber's story with you. She's battling two relentless diseases: Trigeminal Neuralgia and Neurological Lyme Disease. These conditions have turned her life into a never-ending nightmare, and we're desperately seeking your support to help her find relief.

Amber's journey has been marked by immense challenges from a young age. Despite facing setbacks like a playground accident that left her with chronic pain and debilitating health issues, she remained resilient. Her decision to dedicate herself to missionary work exemplifies her compassionate nature and unwavering spirit.

However, a mission trip to Honduras changed everything. Mysterious bug bites during her time there unleashed a cascade of health problems that have plagued her ever since. From unexplained tooth infections to debilitating fatigue and neurological complications, her once vibrant life has been overshadowed by pain and suffering. A fight she has fought silently and bravely for 15 years now.

Recently, a routine dental procedure brought on her hardest challenge of all. Trigeminal Neuralgia, also known as the "suicide disease” which is causing her excruciating, unlivable pain. This disease causes relentless facial pain that is interfering with her ability to eat, sleep and function. This agonizing condition, coupled with her ongoing battle against Lyme Disease, has pushed her to the brink of despair. As her father, witnessing her endure unimaginable pain without relief is a heart-wrenching experience. Her health is rapidly declining from the relentless pain.

Yet, there is a glimmer of hope. We've discovered a treatment option that could offer relief: DTR therapy with Dr. Ben Sutter in Eugene, Oregon. This treatment has been proven to be highly successful at greatly reducing pain related to Trigeminal Neuralgia. But the financial burden is overwhelming for our family, as we struggle to make ends meet on a daily basis.

In addition to the costs of treatment, ongoing chiropractic care and other medical expenses further strain our resources. Each day is a struggle to provide for Amber's basic needs while also trying to afford the treatments that could offer her a chance at a better life.

That's why we're turning to you for help. Your generosity could be the lifeline that Amber desperately needs to access the treatment that could alleviate her suffering and restore her hope for the future.

We understand that times are tough for many, but even the smallest contribution can make a world of difference. Whether it's the price of a cup of coffee or a larger donation, your support can help us inch closer to our goal of giving Amber the chance to live pain-free.

Follow Amber's journey on her YouTube channel, "Amber Cotrone," and witness the impact of your kindness firsthand. Amber has decided that if she gets better that she wants to pursue a career as a health coach and help others who, like her, are struggling with chronic illness and pain. Together, we can make this happen. We can rewrite this story of pain and despair into one of hope, resilience, and triumph.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering a donation. Your compassion and generosity will never be forgotten, and we are forever grateful for your support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Jay Cotrone (Amber's Father)
