My name is Christina Parham and this guy in the photo is my step brother, Jesse.  I write this in honor of my entire family asking for friends and family to come together and help in anyway they can. Jesse has recently been diagnosed with an epidermal abscess. The staph infection attacked his spine and left him with partial paralysis. He underwent emergency surgery Tuesday night to alleviate the pressure of the abscess on his spine. He's been suffering for weeks with intense back pain and unanswered questions regarding his medical issues all while struggling to show up at work. Jesse is a hard working and a dedicated family man. He's loving, sweet and caring. Jesse is currently in a neurological intensive care unit with partial feeling/movement in his right leg and none in the left. He and his family (MaryAnn and daughter Lily) are in need of our help. Let's pull together and assist them in anyway we know how!
