Help Derek Fight POLG & Overcome Mounting Hospital Bills

Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out during one of the most difficult times in our lives to ask for your help and support for Derek.

Derek is a strong, loving, and resilient person who is currently battling POLG mitochondrial disease, a rare and devastating condition that affects the body’s ability to produce energy. This illness impacts multiple organs and systems, making everyday life a constant fight.

Recently, Derek has faced increasing medical complications that have led to frequent hospital stays, ongoing treatments, and specialized care. While we are doing everything we can to stay strong and focused on his health, the reality is that the medical bills are quickly becoming overwhelming.

Between hospital visits, medications, therapies, and necessary medical equipment, the financial burden continues to grow. We are asking for help to ease this stress so we can focus on what matters most—Derek’s care, comfort, and quality of life.

Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward:

• Hospital bills and medical expenses

• Ongoing treatments and specialist care

• Medications and therapies

• Travel expenses for medical appointments

If you’re unable to donate, sharing Derek’s story would mean just as much to us. Your support, prayers, and kindness truly make a difference.

Derek is a fighter. With your help, we can continue to stand by his side and give him the care and strength he needs to keep going.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love and support.
