Shad's Healing Tree Fund

Calling all Friends, Family, Past and Present Wrestlers and  their families----

Many of  you are not aware that my brother Shad James was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease earlier this year.  It is an inflammatory disease characterized by arthritis and neurological and cardiac disorders, caused by bacteria that are transmitted by ticks.  

Shad has been a devoted father of 6 , a physical therapist, and a long time wrestling coach in Omak and Bozeman.  This disease, which affects the joints and muscles, has caused Shad to cut back on work, family involvement and his love of coaching.  
This has taken it's toll on Shad and his family.  Because he isn't able to work full time his insurance was cut.  The treatments needed to help him become healthy are expensive, around $300  each month.  He has looked into other alternatives for insurance but it's too expensive to get. The stress of caring for your family and taking care of your own needs can keep a person from physical healing. 

Also, during this time, the home in which Shad and his family were renting was sold.  They are currently looking for adequate housing.  Again, it is hard to find housing when you do not have two incomes and a large family.  

My goal with this Fundme page is to help take some stress off of Shad by giving him the best Christmas gift ever-a peace of mind that his medical bills will be taken care of over the next 4 month and possibly the money needed to help his family get the adequate housing needed to keep them safe and warm during this Montana winter.  

If you could find it in your heart to just give $5, $10 or even $20 dollars I am sure we can reach this goal by Christmas. Giving back so someone who has always given of himself to others.  Thank you so much for your support.  Please share this page with others, since I don't have all the email and addresses of people outside of Washington State.
