Help Ed Lynch

Donation protected
Hi Everyone-
I’m setting up a fundraiser for my cousin Ed Lynch. He could really use some help.  Please donate whatever you can. 

This is part is directly from him:
As you know I don’t post much about my personal life, but I think now is the time. I have had an issue with my left foot called Charcot Foot Disease. I have had it for the last 6 or 7 years with no major issues. Last summer I developed an ulcer on this foot and tried different treatments to heal it. Nothing worked, so I had surgery on my foot in October last year to correct it. Everything went well until I ended up in the hospital 2 weeks later with a MRSA infection in my blood. I spent 11 days in the hospital and was out for 15 days before I ended back in the hospital with an infection in my surgery wound, had to have a 2nd surgery to clean it out and then spent 20 days at Bay Special Care for IV and wound vac treatment. I have been trying to heal this, but I have come to a point to ask for a 2nd opinion. I seen a dr from UofM in July, he said I will always have issues with this foot and be on long term antibiotics or I could have the foot amputated and get a prosthetic leg and get back to a somewhat normal life. 2 days after this appointment, I ended up in the hospital with another infection in the foot. I am tired of trying to heal this, so I have made the decision to go ahead with the amputation and get on with life. Today I just received my surgery date, August 24th. It takes 3-4 months for the leg to heal before I can get a prosthetic leg. Much less time than I have been dealing with this wound. I am asking for prayers and good thoughts. I will keep you updated as I go through this process. Thank you in advance.
