Surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia (AKA The Suicide Disease)

Help My Brother Get Life-Changing Surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia (AKA The Suicide Disease)

Hello, friends, family, and kind strangers,

I am reaching out with hope that this message will spread - for my brother, Chris Galusha.

He has been battling trigeminal nueralgia (TN) a condition so excruciating its known as the "suicide disease" for the acute and

relentless pain often causing one to take their own life.

He has had one major surgery, one neurosurgery, countless procedures, and radiation.

He was turned away by the top neurosurgeon at OHSU twice.

He hasn't given up on himself and his family. He has received a referral from Hospital Pablo Tobon Uribe. He has spoken to

Dr. Carlos Restrepo a world renowned neurosurgeon and speaker. Dr. Restrepo stated he is willing to do a procedure placing leads on the trigeminal

nerve and an electrical box in Christopher's chest to stop the pain condition.

The only issue is time. Christopher has drained his savings multiple times over five years to fight this. I am hoping the community can come

together this time. For a Son, Uncle, and Veteran who wants a chance at a normal life.

Every donation, big and small, will go directly towards making this life-changing procedure possible including his rehabilitation and recovery. If you can't donate Please share with your

Community, Church, or Online.

Chris has a profound love for animals, family, and travel, but hasn't been able to be truly present for a number of years.

Please pray for my brother Chris.

With Love and Gratitude, Katy Millard
