<div>My name is JD &amp; I was admitted to the hospital on 8-18-2025. I have Parkinson’s disease for 25 years and I’m a disabled Navy veteran! I wasn’t able to walk or move my legs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will be getting transferred to Sea Pine Rehabilitation Center to try to build strength and get more movement in my legs. I’m able to move them a little bit and stand up with help now, but it’s gonna be a long road to recovery. My birthday is August 25, and I will be spending my birthday here in the hospital or in the rehabilitation center.

<div><strong>We could use help with our bills &amp; gas to get my wife back and forth as it’s a 40-minute drive one way.</strong> My wife has taken off the past week of work to make sure she’s been by my side, and I’m not sure how long I will be in the rehabilitation center. It has been very stressful for both of us, and with her taking off time from work and me being on disability 100%, bills are gonna be tight.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>If you would like to donate for my birthday or just to help us out, it would be greatly appreciated.</strong> The doctors are not 100% sure yet what caused me not to walk or move my legs, but I do have a lot of problems with my lower back and my spine, and it could’ve been the spine damage pressing on my nerve. We’re still waiting for test results. It’s been almost a week. It took a little while for us to get the MRI done as I have a DBS (deep brain stimulation), and if they don’t have the exact instructions, it could kill me.

</div>
<div>My Parkinson’s doctor is three hours away from home as that is the closest Parkinson’s doctor in my area. So calling and waiting for responses has been a huge problem. Please also keep us in your prayers for fast healing and recovery!
