Support the Ruguleiski's

The Ruguleiski family needs our help. Jon is sick, in constant pain, unable to work, and still has no diagnosis. He used to walk 10 miles a day for work; he is 32 years old and now walks with a walker.

Jonathan Ruguleiski is a devoted father and husband. He is the sole provider for his wife Elizabeth and their two girls, one with severe disabilities. They are familiar with the hospital halls due to frequent trips with their daughter Abigail- but they didn't think it would someday be for Jon.

Mid June, Jonathan began having knee pain and numbness on his face, chest and thighs. By mid July, he was having fatigue and short term memory problems in addition to the numbness and knee pain. He went to urgent care and had an X-ray of his knees: they suggested arthritis.

Then, he started falling.

Then, his short term memory became worse.

He began repeating the same question every 2-4 minutes.

The next few weeks became a whirlwind of urgent care and hospital visits, MRI's, X-rays, and ultrasounds. He continues to undergo various tests until they can find a definitive diagnosis. Doctors and specialists still don't know what's wrong. Various diagnoses have been suggested and then ruled out.

Jon and Elizabeth were supposed to move into a house this month.

Now, that dream is on hold, as they are fighting to get through each month as it comes and they now have to rent month by month at a higher rate. 

Please, consider giving any amount to help Jon and Elizabeth get through this long and difficult time.

Their living costs are approximately $3,500USD per month.  Their health insurance does not cover MRI's, so they also have thousands of dollars in medical costs even with their insurance.

Jon has been unable to work for a month, and there is no end in sight. Let's do our best to lift the burden of medical bills and rent off the Ruguleiski family as they go through this dark season together.
