Help Eric Von Schaumburg

Erin Von Schaumburg a former high school classmate has been battling ALS since 2013 when he was diagnosed at 29. His parents are his full time 24 hour caregivers with the help of nurses. Eric is completely paralyzed, on a ventilator, and has no way to communicate anything. Imagine that for a moment. His days are long, painful, and lonely. ALS is the cruelest disease and there is no cure. He needs 24/7 care. It is Eric’s mom Deb birthday so I decided to surprise her by creating a go fund me page to continue to help Eric medical expenses. She and Bob had no idea I was doing this. I have never even met them. I just wanted to lift her spirits by helping to raise some funds to go towards Eric’s medical needs. Having a massive social media following I knew my followers will come through.

ALS takes one ability to walk, speak, eat, and breath. He is on a ventilator. He receives food through a feeding tube. This is the reality of this terrible disease.

Can you help me with my surprise by donating. It would help them out so much.

Thanks!

Erin
