Keith Stover is a beloved friend who has been living with dystonia since he was 18. The condition has progressed in heartbreaking ways. Over the years, Keith has faced left-sided facial paralysis, difficulty using his hands and fingers, speech delay, memory loss with near complete loss of childhood memories, arthritis in his knees that limits his mobility, and constant pain from the dystonia itself. He also developed Raynaud’s affecting his legs and feet, a limp in his right leg, and frequent rolling of his feet sideways when he walks, making daily movement even harder. On top of that, these illnesses have caused stomach problems, including lack of appetite and vomiting. Even with insurance, the cost of ongoing care, treatments, and important tests like MRIs has become more than he can manage alone. Keith has worked hard to support himself as a freelance writer and indie marketer, but keeping up with work while living with so much pain and limitation is becoming harder and harder.

This fundraiser is to help Keith get the care he needs now and in the future, including treatments, testing, and out-of-pocket medical expenses that insurance does not fully cover. The hope is to give Keith a real chance to regain some control over his life and prevent his condition from worsening. Please help Keith if you are able. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference. If giving is not possible, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Keith in your thoughts would also mean so much. Your kindness and support can help bring relief, hope, and a little more stability during an incredibly difficult time.
