Support Coby's Battle Against Juvenile Arthritis

Dear friends, family and kind-hearted strangers,

We are reaching out to you on behalf of our beloved son Coby, a brave and spirited 12-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) an autoimmune disease that is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in adults. This chronic disease causes Coby to battle with intense arthritis in his joints and severe inflammation and pain throughout his body. This makes it difficult for him to walk, play, and fully participate in school activities.

Coby is a bright and active kid who loves playing sports, the beach, playing games, and spending time with his family and friends. Since he was diagnosed with JIA, he has had many flare ups which causes severe pain and discomfort. This makes him unable to enjoy the activities he loves and leaves him frustrated. The pain can be overwhelming, and on particularly rough days, he struggles to even get out of bed. Without proper medication, exercise and treatment, the disease can destroy his joints permanently.

Coby's family is dedicated to providing him with the best care possible, but the costs of both traditional medical treatments and holistic therapies can be staggering. We are facing significant financial challenges, which makes it difficult to access the comprehensive care that Coby needs. This includes medications, physical therapy, and alternative treatments that could greatly improve his quality of life.

The medical costs are mounting rapidly and this is why we are reaching out for support in helping cover the necessary treatments, medicines, food, doctor bills, etc. We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to help cover Coby's medical expenses and ancillary services. Every dollar raised will go directly toward:

- **Medications**: Covering costs for pain management and anti-inflammatory supplements.

- **Therapy**: Helping Coby regain strength and mobility through tailored exercises and various therapies.

- **Holistic Treatments**: Exploring options like acupuncture and nutritional counseling that may offer relief.

- **Support Services**: Assisting with transportation and any necessary medical equipment.

-**Foods** Covering costs of dietary foods specific to Coby’s inflammation and healing gut diet.

Our goal is to provide Coby with the support he desperately needs to manage his condition and live a happier, healthier life. With your generosity, you can help alleviate some of the financial burdens our family faces and ensure Coby has access to the care that can make a difference and get him back to an active lifestyle without pain.

Thank you for considering supporting Coby’s journey. No contribution is too small, and every share helps spread the word. Together, we can help Coby reclaim his childhood and empower him to thrive despite the challenges of JIA.

With gratitude

Josh
