You dont have to, You get to. Let's help Jordan!

My friend, Jordan was a fit, healthy young man who's health suddenly took a turn for the worse. He went from being able to play basketball, go to the gym regularly, bench pressing over 300 lbs., squatting over 400 lbs. to someone who's a shell of his former self.
To say that he's come on hard times is hardly doing his situation justice. When I think of Jordan, the story of Job from the bible comes to mind.
Jordan is a devoted Christian, he was heavily involved in church - he was an usher, taught kids on Sundays, went to bible study twice a week, and cleaned the church.
For work, he was a truck driver (Class A CDL), working full time. Life was going steady when suddenly, out of the blue, his health took a turn for the worse. Since March 2023, he's lost his job, fell behind on his rent and other obligations, and cannot physically stand long enough to do any type of day-laborer jobs.
On March 2nd, he was at the gym, in his normal routine, when the lights became extremely bright, and he couldn't see. Soon after, he started to have double-vision. He quickly went to the hospital, and they couldn't find anything wrong. He then went to an optometrist to get some further testing, and they couldn’t pin-point an issue either. Meanwhile, the problem wasn’t getting any better. He's since made the rounds to doctors, and they did further testing, including CT-Scans, Bloodwork, MRI, and even a Spinal Tap (which was very invasive). They still couldn’t find a root cause, as a matter of fact, the Spinal Tap has caused additional problems.
Since then, Jordan is unable to stand, he is starting to fall. Again, just 3 months ago, he was playing basketball, bench pressing 300+ lbs., and was in extremely good shape.
What can be done now? Since the best doctors are unable to find a problem, much less be able to come up with a treatment, Jordan's remaining hope is to find a functional medicine doctor and see if they can help. Jordan doesn’t have insurance because he hasn’t been able to work, so any costs associated with seeing the doctor, the consequent tests, medicine, and anything else needed to get him back on his feet (literally and figuratively), need to come out of his pocket.
To that end, we are hoping to raise $25,000. This will fully cover his anticipated medical expenses, his other medical bills, back rent, and other expenses that he's fallen behind on.
We are all hoping that Jordan comes back to being himself and paying this forward. Any donation amount will help.
Also, please share this story with others, and be praying for his full recovery.
Thanks!
