<div>Jason’s story - Jason and Mary Beck.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have known Mary Beck and her husband Jason for at least 10 years. When you know Mary, you know Jason. They are a team. Husband and wife. Best friends. They are high school sweethearts who have basically grown up together. They have raised three boys and they have three adorable grandchildren.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In July 2019, Jason had an incident at the gym which left him with balance problems and weakness on his left side. Initially, Jason went to Eisenhower Medical Center for diagnosis and treatment. After numerous tests the neurologists there could not find the cause of his symptoms. The doctors at Eisenhower referred him to the University of California, at San Diego. After tests and MRI’s, Neurologists there could not determine a diagnosis as well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of his continuing health circumstances, Jason had to medically retire after 15 years of teaching in the Coachella Valley Unified School District, where he worked as a high school English teacher.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jason has since moved on from UCSD to Loma Linda University Medical Center, with hope they could determine the cause of his deteriorating health. After nearly a year at Loma Linda, Jason is currently receiving IVIG treatments of gamma globulin to improve his immunity, and hopefully improve his quality of life. That has not improved his symptoms. They continue to progress, and he now is dependent on a walker and wheelchair to aid his mobility as still, there is no definitive diagnosis as to what the cause of his health conditions are. Mary recently had to take leave from her job to be Jason’s full-time caregiver, and to support their family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many people that need help cannot ask for help because they just don’t know how. Because of my relationship with Mary and Jason, I am asking anyone and everyone that reads this to please help in any way you can, or see fit. Your thoughtful donations will help them cover any unexpected expenses, current medical bills, and potentially future medical expenses that may not be covered by his medical coverage. As their search for answers continues, they are considering their next step. City of Hope, and UCLA is Jason’s potential next step. He truly believes there is ONE brilliant mind out there, ONE medical professional that is going to say, “Here it is! This is what you have,” and then he will really be on the mend with a definite diagnosis, and a path to reclaiming his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With his current treatment his prayer is that he will have the stability and strength to stand up and be out of his wheelchair to dance on their 33rd wedding anniversary this October. My hope is the same for them. When that anniversary dance comes around in October, my hope is that it will also be a victory dance. That the cause of his health struggles will be identified, and he will be receiving a treatment that is conclusive and related to what he has, and be on his way to a full recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My pledge to Jason and Mary is that we will help them. Starting with this Go Fund Me page. Please help our friends in any way you can, including supporting them during this unsettling time. Any contribution is greatly appreciated, and all thoughts of love and prayers are welcome.
</div>
<div>Here’s to Hope. From all their friends!
