Hello everyone!
Our friend and beloved Father needs your help!
We need help from Everyone; all those who have had the pleasure of receiving his knowledge, prayers, company and friendship, and from those who haven’t, but are moved by his story.
He is 45 years old and has been struggling with ulcerative colitis for 20 years now. He began experiencing the symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis at age of 27, and was diagnosed a year later. He is now constantly battling the effects of these debilitating conditions. Ulcerative Colitis are chronic illnesses that cause extreme fatigue, anemia, vitamin deficiency, arthritis, weight loss and chronic pain.
He has been on a flare now for weeks with constant cramping, pain, fatigue and having to constantly run to the bathroom, losing a lot of blood. He lost 40lbs in 5 weeks.
At this point he had to go back to taking steroids, which is only a temporary solution. After all these years, his intestine is very damaged and weaker year by year. His doctor decided to treat his disease more aggressively with immunosuppressant medications, biologic He will take one dose of this drug every two months for the next 5 years. Then depending on the results there will be further decisions.
If you are willing and able to contribute financially, to help him with this journey and cover the expenses related to his treatment, you can do so via this page or by contacting him directly.
We will be forever grateful for your generosity. If not, we ask you to please remember him in your prayers and wish him well.
Take care of yourself and each other.
God bless you all!
