Help Charles Ulrich During his Brain Surgery
Donation protected
It was an ordinary night back in 2011. My brother thought I was dying. I woke to medics staring down at me and asking weird questions. I kept trying to shake myself out of it but couldn’t seem to get anywhere. They took me to the hospital, did CT scans and said, “We’re transferring you to another hospital because you have a spot on your brain.”
I thought I was invincible back then and had just started a business with my brother Marcus, so I thought there had to be a mistake. After a week in the ICU and a biopsy it started settling in, this is for real.
The doc said we’re just going to watch it and discouraged taking it out so I started getting some of my hope back. After 2 years of MRI’S the spot stayed exactly the same.
At the end of 2017 I felt something was off in my head so I went in for another MRI. The spot had grown tremendously. I was devastated. It wasn’t just me anymore, I now had my wife Regina and 2 daughters that were depending on me, as well as 4 employees.
The doctors wanted to do surgery immediately but I wanted to try alternative routes and was believing God would miraculously heal me. In the last 6 months I’ve not been able to work much, due to seizures and side effects from the medication.
The seizures make me lock up and fall over, losing consciousness. After the convulsing is over, it takes up to an hour to fully “wake up.” The next day, I feel like I’ve been hit by a freight train.
Surgery is scheduled for this Friday in Philadelphia. We have a wonderful neurosurgeon, and while the surgery does have its risks, we are hopeful that removing most of the tumor will allow me to return to providing for my family and living a normal life.
We are incredibly grateful to the many friends who have stepped in to help with the cost of this surgery. A lot of you have sacrificially given $50 or a $100, and it really makes a difference, especially when you share the need with your friends, and they contribute as well.
Your prayers and financial support mean so much.
From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you.
Charles, Regina, Destini, and Mercedes
