Friends and Family, Daren needs your help. In the past, he lost a hundred pounds. See the before and after photo. Some of you witnessed this transformation yourselves. However, in the past ten years, he's faced tragedies and hardships, has suffered and struggled as a result, and has regained the weight lost, plus more.

Daren wishes to undergo an in-patient, physician-assisted dietary rehabilitation program at True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, specializing in water-only fasting, juice-fasting, then reintroducing solid plant based whole foods.

The goal is 4 to 5 weeks at the facility. No leaving, or access to outside foods, although visitation from sponsors while in the program would be greatly appreciated.

We need to raise $14,000 dollars to afford 5 weeks at the treatment center. Every $400 benchmark pays for another day of treatment. Thanks to some very generous beginning sponsors, we're already past one-third funded. But we have a long way to go. If you're in a position to help, no donation is too small.
