My name is Philip and this is my spouse, Brittany. After each of us had our own rough road from negative life experiences and trauma, our roads finally joined together and we met in 2022. We fell in love and started building this life together.

In early 2024, Brittany got sick and unfortunately lost her job. I've been covering our personal bills, the housing bills, groceries, care for the animals, and anything that requires money. I had an excellent savings and checking account. However, with all the financial weight and unexpected expenses I am running out of funds. It started off with minor symptoms, but over the past year, We've been in and out of the hospitals for the last seven months, once or twice a week, conducting testing, labs, exams, appointments, etc. Kaiser is failing us miserably, she has lost 47 pounds and now only weighs 95 pounds and I am looking to raise money to help with our bills, provide her with things she needs for comfort, advanced treatment options like stem cells for her brain condition, ketamine therapy for a higher quality of life, and other advanced treatment options. We have obtained a diagnosis of MS and they are currently still investigating other added illnesses due to the lengthy symptom list.

I am a first responder; I save people for a living, but I can't even save my spouse in an extreme painful flare-up. On November 11th, 2025, was the worst I ever saw it get. At 1400 hours, she started screaming in agonizing pain. This happens a lot, but I was not prepared for the duration. She would scream in agonizing pain for hours, finally pass out for twenty minutes, then start this cycle all over again. It finally subsided at 1000 hours the following day. I've never felt so helpless, sad, angry, and scared. Just feeling so horrible that all I could do was hold her and kiss her. The police came because she was so loud in pain. I broke down in front of them. My goal is for my baby bear to have the best life possible, and I need help. If you can donate, much appreciated. If you can't, I understand, and we would love for you to pray for us. This is a last resort for me to do and act of desperation. We really appreciate anything and everything. Thank you!

Brittany has a two page document with all of her symptoms on it. We are still fighting for an exact diagnosis, but there is one thing we know for sure. Brittany has a demyelinating myelin sheath condition and treatment can cost between $5,000 to $150,000 depending on the severity. Her diagnosis is looking like MS/MCAS but it is not official but with her symptoms it checks out.

ketamine therapy ranges from $50-$1,000 per treatment depending on what she needs that would best benefit her condition and availability in our area.
