Brian, a professional Ballroom and Latin dancer, was diagnosed with a serious autoimmune disease that caused his own nerves to attack each other. In just months, he went from teaching and performing full-time to struggling to stand.

He has lost his job, his housing, and his independence.

After two weeks in the hospital and extensive testing, doctors confirmed the diagnosis. Recovery will require ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, and time — time he does not financially have.

Brian has lost nearly 20 pounds in three months. His partner is now lifting him in and out of the car and helping with basic daily tasks.

Funds raised will go toward: • Medical expenses

• Rehabilitation

• Housing and basic living costs

• Transportation to treatment

Brian has spent years lifting others up.

Now he needs help standing again.
