Support Eduardo’s Fight Against ALS
Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,
My name is Eduardo, and I’m reaching out to you today with a heavy heart but a hopeful spirit. I’m 37 years old, and in December 2022, I received a life-changing diagnosis of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). My symptoms began earlier that year, in March, with subtle signs that soon escalated. Over time, I have lost the ability to walk and can no longer use my hands, fingers, or arms. The journey has been daunting, but I am blessed with the love and care of my family and partner.
ALS is a relentless disease. The physical challenges alone are overwhelming, but they’re compounded by the immense financial burden it places on patients and their loved ones. Specialized medical equipment, accessible transportation, mobility aids, home modifications, and countless other medical expenses are essential to manage ALS and maintain a basic quality of life. Unfortunately, these costs are extensive and ongoing, adding up month after month.
Beyond my immediate medical needs, my family has also shouldered the responsibility of being my primary caregivers. My parents, both retired, dedicate every day to ensuring I have the support and care I need. However, the financial strain has been immense and continues to grow as my needs become more complex.
The challenges we face with ALS are daunting, but we remain hopeful and determined to make the best of each day. I am reaching out to ask for your support in alleviating some of the financial stress this disease has placed on us. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact, helping us cover medical bills, caregiving expenses, and essential equipment.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation to support my journey. Your generosity, love, and support mean the world to me and my family.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Eduardo
