Unknown Illness in 16 Year Old Son

Donation protected
My son has gotten sick and there is no diagnosis, the doctors cannot figure out what is going with him.

As the doctors are trying to figure out what is affecting my son's health, I am trying to attend school for Physio and Occupational Therapy so that I can help my son...and my younger daughter who is at risk of developing the same symptoms as my son.

I came to this country as an international student and I have been attending school to help my children to have a better life. 

After arriving I was told that I was not eligible for healthcare services and when my son got suddenly sick we had no choice but to seek medical attention as he was quickly declining and unable to walk or depend on himself and now he will live with a catheter and a wheelchair for the rest of his life, unless the doctors can diagnose his illness and find a suitable treatment. Finding the right diagnosis and treatment would save my daughter from going through the same as well.  

At Toronto Sick Kids my son received very necessary treatments, which unfortunately has come at a very large cost to my family and for such complex treatment the hospital can neither do all required medical tests nor provide long-term treatments without a financial coverage by a health insurer or a sponsor.   

The bill we received was for almost $17, 000. And the costs of follow ups with the doctors will be adding on top of this amount..

I am asking for any help that you can provide, any amount is appreciated.
