Help Zach's Recovery (Canadian dollar Currency)

Donation protected
Since begining his attempt to get off prescription anti-anxiety meds a year ago, my beautiful 29 year old son, Zach, has been suffering from severe Benzodiezepine Withdrawl Syndrome. His symptoms include relentless, constant anxiety and crushing depression, constant trembling, severe digestive and pulmonary issues, including feeling like he is always suffocating and almost constant nausea (he barely eats and is dangerously underweight), Akathesia, insomnia, trichotillomania,  and most frighteningly, recurring suicidal ideation (many sufferers of severe BWS heartbreakingly do end up taking their lives rather than continue suffering). We have tried everything available to us here including hospitalization, drug rehab centers, doctors, counselors, alternative practitioners... but nothing has helped.  The most insidious thing about benzos, is that unlike other substances, tapering can take many months, and unfortunately, Zach is in the 20% who become sicker and sicker the more they taper off the meds. After exhaustive research, we have found the only clinic in the world that has a comprehensive, medically supervised benzo withdrawl program that uses different treatments and modalities, including psychiatric support, to ease the symptoms of BWS, while at the same time ridding the body of the medication. The clinic is located in Belgrade, Serbia and the cost of the treatment (6 weeks in-patient, and 1 year follow-up ambulatory/virtual treatment and support) is 40,000 US dollars.  We are humbly asking you to please help us raise the money to take Zach to Serbia. We believe that this is his only chance to successfully withdraw from the medication, begin healing and return to his wife and toddler son. Please reach out to me with any questions and please please please share this campaign with your family, friends, contacts And social media!). In Judaism we say saving one life is like saving a world, and for us Zach IS our whole world.  THANK YOU!❤️

Please note that any money collected past the cost of the treatments, will go directly to Zach's wife and son. Thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Zachs Hebrew name is: Zecharia Yosef Yisroel Ben Elisheva
