Help Ethan get life changing medical treatment

Donation protected
Hi, I’m Ethan, and I urgently need your help to cover the overwhelming medical expenses that stand between me and returning to full health. I am trying to raise at least $10,000 which will allow me to work with specialized doctors. Every bit of support you can offer will make a crucial difference. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation. If you can’t donate, please share this—every share counts.

Almost two years ago, I was newly married, attending my dream college at BYU, and beginning a promising career in sales. Then everything changed.


I began experiencing severe pain, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue. At first, I thought it was just stress, but as my symptoms worsened, I knew something much more serious was happening. The pain became unbearable, the brain fog made it impossible to concentrate, and I couldn’t sleep at night. What started as an inconvenience soon became overwhelming pain that has caused me to be bedridden most days and has been extremely difficult to manage.

With my symptoms getting worse, I was forced to quit my job, drop out of school, and move back to Canada with my wife, Eva, to try finding out what was wrong. But despite countless tests, doctors were unable to find the cause of my illness. Finally, after months of uncertainty, a naturopathic doctor tested and found high levels of mycotoxins, or toxins from mold exposure—which they identified as likely the root of my debilitating symptoms.

While this diagnosis was a relief in some ways, it also means I need expensive treatment that isn't covered by insurance. I have not been able to work for a majority of the past year and a half I’ve been sick, and cannot afford the treatments. My wife is working tirelessly across multiple jobs, but even with her best efforts, we are struggling to cover basic living expenses, let alone the cost of this expensive treatment.

If I am able to raise a minimum of 10000$ of funding I will be able to work with a mold specialist from the USA and receive treatments that will be able to help me recover.

Please, if you are able, any help you can give will directly impact my journey to recovery and allow me to get the treatment I need to return to full health. Thank you for your consideration, and if you can’t donate, sharing this with others could be the lifeline we desperately need.
