<div>My name is Brian. I’m a husband and a father of two beautiful little girls. One is six months old, and the

</div>

<div>other is two and a half.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A while ago, I suﬀered a traumatic brain injury. Since then, I’ve developed Parkinson’s syndrome, which

</div>

<div>has had a huge impact on my life. My mobility and speech are both severely aﬀected. I used to be athletic

</div>

<div>and full of energy. I loved the outdoors and staying active. Now, I can barely walk. I can’t run, jump, or

</div>

<div>even throw a ball.

</div>

<div>There is a surgery  called "DBS" that could help me get some of that life back. It could restore part of my movement and speech and give me a real chance to be present again. I want to chase my daughters. I want to laugh with them and be able to show up as a dad. That is the dream.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The cost of the surgery, including recovery, tests, and travel, is about 100,000 dollars. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My wife lost her teaching job recently, which means we also lost our insurance. I ran my own business for

</div>

<div>eight years. We always had coverage through her. But over the past year, things have go en harder. I had

</div>

<div>to sell the business. We rented out our home just to keep it. Right now, we are living with her family and

</div>

<div>trying to rebuild. Because of my condition, it is hard for me to find steady work.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I have not given up. That is why I launched this gofundme. This gofundme is my shot at recovery. It is a chance to get my life back and take care of my family. That is what this is about.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I will document the journey, and update the community. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If we raise more than what is needed for the surgery, the rest will go toward supporting my family and

</div>

<div>possibly helping fund medical research for others dealing with similar conditions.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Those who know me know I am loyal, honest, and hardworking. I always try to do the right

</div>

<div>thing. So I’m asking for your support, and I want this to be something we can all be part of. Something that

</div>

<div>helps, not just for me, but for others too.

</div>

<div>Thank you for being here. It means everything to me.
