Help Yoshi’s Recovery Back to Health!

Donation protected
Update on Yoshi 9/29

First off, thank you so much for all the generous donations to Yoshi’s gofundme. Even though he is still suffering from daily pain and nausea, he said he is crying more than ever, mostly from joy from the overwhelming amount of support people have shown him than the pain. He is truly grateful. 

Yoshi has had 4 ER visits, 3 ambulance rides, a hospitalization and multiple doctors office visits, both within Palm Springs and outside of it, seeking help wherever he can to find out how to treat his issues. Unfortunately he hasn’t had much luck in getting a proper diagnosis, yet he can’t keep any food down, is very weak, and cannot work. He is mentally and physically exhausted. His dog Millie is keeping his spirits lifted along with all the supportive messages people have been sending him during this challenging time. 

If you haven’t donated to Yoshi’s gofundme to help him get back to health, please consider doing so. He is truly touched by each and every donation with no clear path to wellness in sight yet. Thanks again for all your love and support for Yoshi!

Dear friends of Yoshi,

As you may know Yoshi has been going through severe gastrointestinal pain recently, resulting in two ambulance rides and three trips to the ER as of 9/21/2023. While the doctors have not been able to correctly diagnose him, he is going through the worse pain in his life so far and frustrated he is not getting the care he needs. He is on an all liquid diet until further notice with a GI appointment scheduled on 9/26. He is bed ridden and unable to work unfortunately with medical bills rising. If you have it in your heart to donate some money towards his recovery, he would be so ever grateful. I’m sure if you are a friend of Yoshi’s, you know he is one of the most compassionate, genuine, appreciative and thoughtful people in your life. It really hurts to see someone suffering who typically provides the healing to others. It’s our time to give back and heal Yoshi when he needs us most.

Please keep positive and healing thoughts for Yoshi. He needs his village during this challenging point in his life.

Thanks for reading, all. I’ll try to keep this updated as Yoshi progresses.
