Help Luis fight ALS
Things started on December of 2015 when my husband, Luis, noticed weakness in his right arm, he was still feeling pretty good but something was definitely off. A couple months later, we went to his first appointment with a neurologist and he confirmed that there was something wrong with the way that his nerves were sending signals to his muscles, but further tests needed to be done to understand why. A couple weeks later the results came back and we got the official diagnosis: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) also known as “Lou Gehrig’s disease. We didn’t want to believe it and we visited two more clinics looking for a second opinion, but sadly the diagnosis was the same my husband has ALS.
ALS is a serious and terminal neurodegenerative disease characterized by relentless progression of muscle weakness including weakness of the arms, legs, and muscles that control speaking, swallowing, and breathing. Unfortunately there is not cure for this disease and the life expectancy is 2-5 years. We are trying any all viable treatments to fight this disease. However, expensive medical bills and other expenses are now part of this ALS battle. Any donation to help us during this incredibly challenging time of our lives would be immensely helpful so we can focus on getting my husband the best care needed during his treatments. Any amount you can give us is greatly appreciated. We appreciate your time and kind-heartedness, and thank you all for your support and prayers!
Ayuda a Luis a Luchar contra la ELA!
Luis ha sido diagnosticado con Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA), tambien conocida como enfermedad de Lou Gehrig, famoso jugador de Baseball quien fue la primer persona diagnosticada con Esclerosis Lateral Amiontrofica. Esta es una enfermedad neurológica progresiva, invariablemente fatal, que ataca a las células nerviosas (neuronas) encargadas de controlar los músculos voluntarios. Esta enfermedad terminal neurodegerativa se caracteriza por un inevitable progreso de debilidad muscular en brazos, piernas, y los musculos que controlan la abilidad de hablar, tragar, y respirar.
Los sintomas de esta terrible enfermedad estan impactando rapidamete la calidad de vida de Luis. Actualmente, el necesita ayuda para ayuda para realizar actividades basicas como: vestirse, levantar objetos, y caminar distancias largas. Desafortunadamente, no hay cura para la ELA y la expectativa de vida es corta.
Familiares y amigos de Luis estan probando diferentes tratamientos para mejorar y extender la calidad de vida de Luis. Sin embargo, los gastos medicos son muy caros y necesitamos de su ayuda para poder obtener la mejor atencion posible para seguir luchando contra esta agresiva enfermedad. Cualquier donacion para ayudar a Luis y a su familia en estos terribles momentos, sera de gran ayuda. Apreciamos mucho su colaboracion y buen corazon, gracias a todos por su ayuda y oraciones.
