Support Aaron’s Fight With ALS
Support Aaron’s Fight With ALS
Aaron Greene, has been recently diagnosed with ALS after experiencing muscle atrophy and weakness in his left hand. This is a terrifying time for himself, his family, and his friends as he slowly loses control over his body and now experiences atrophy in his back, shoulder, and arms as well as twitching and severe cramping in his legs.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurological disease that results in the death of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and affects as many as 30,000 Americans. To be diagnosed with ALS begins a terrifying journey that slowly causes muscle weakness or stiffness in the extremities eventually leading to a loss of control of vital functions such as speech, swallowing, and eventually breathing.
An ALS diagnosis is unfortunately is not always the most optimistic as the average life expectancy of a person suffering with ALS is only about two to five years from the time of diagnosis. Along with facing the reality of this all, the financial burden for treatment of ALS patients is substantial and increases as the disease progresses...and that is why we need your help.
Aaron consistently tries to maintain a positive attitude even while needing his wife and children to assist with most things now, and although his symptoms are progressing rapidly, he continues to have hope through his trust in God to heal his body.
His family needs all the support they can get through these extremely rough times. Medical bills are piling up beyond their control and will continue to increase as Aaron’s condition worsens, leaving little for extras such as home care aid so that Aaron can remain with his family.
100% of your generous donation will go directly to Aaron and his family to help cover the costs of medical fees associated with his ALS diagnosis such as prescription medications, treatments, home care, and more. We ask that you also please share our campaign with your family, friends, and co-workers in the hope that Aaron and his family are able to receive the support they so desperately need.
“Although the facts and statistics of ALS really bear no hope and is a rapidly progressive and fatal disease, we are praying to get through this day by day. We are praying that the healing power of Jesus Christ would be on him. It is very hard dealing with the changes he’s gone through and watching it unfold. Our prayer is that every functioning part of his body continues to operate and that he is healed. We appreciate your prayers and ask that you continue to trust God with us.” - Aaron’s Wife
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your support and please remember that every donation helps no matter how big or how small. Together we can bring some sense of support and hope to a family in turmoil.
