Help Tristan get treatment

My nephew Tristan West is 24 yrs old and was diagnosed with Nutcracker Syndrome. If you are not familiar please take just a moment to google it. It's a very rare & extremely painful disorder. He has fought for almost a year in extreme pain to get this diagnosed. It's very painful for him to eat, therefore he is now down to under 100lbs (keep in mind he is 24yrs. old). This is at a very scary point with his health.

He had a full time job with medical benefits prior to this event. But this condition is so painful it has made it impossible for him to work. His only option was to get on MT Medicaid limiting and prolonging his treatment tremendously.

**Update 10-3-23

Tristan is now waiting on his appeal to be looked at by SS Disability, he was denied the first time. With that approval will bring a better healthcare options for him. He can then look for the doctors around the country that specialize in the surgeries that he needs. This condition brings with it extreme hemorrhoids both internally & externally. At this time he is getting care in the way of pain blocks for his abdomen & testicle pain (in Billings). He is also seeing a hemorrhoid specialist in Missoula.

His biggest issue besides his health is money. He cannot provide for himself & keeps getting denied state benefits. So gas money for these appointments becomes an extreme stressor for him as you can imagine. Every little bit helps.

This GoFundMe has been up for a couple of years & is empty at this time.

 An account has been setup at Stockmans bank in Conrad. If you are more comfortable donating locally.

 

He is a great, hard working, kind hearted kid whose had a tough go with life thus far. Let's show him that people love & care for others. And maybe someday we can get our healthcare fixed so no matter ones income they can get equal & timely treatment.
