Brian Ford on his healing journey

Donation protected
As some may know tragedy struck Brian Ford, my cousin, around 2020 as he developed a rare and sever inflammatory disease called Transverse Myelitis (TM). He also suffers from Peripheral neuropathy which he has been fighting and working very hard on his own to somewhat get ahead of. The spinal disease affects his walking and he has chronic pain in his back and muscles that he suffers with daily. Which greatly affects his way of living, as well as the Peripheral neuropathy. He's not just too sexy for his shirt; but it's literally painful for him to wear a top because of his cells rebuilding from the damage that was caused.
He isn't one to ask for help but I am here as someone who cares to ask for him. He cannot work the jobs he used to because of mobility restrictions and chronic pain. He has costly medicine and physical therapy that he will need assistance with paying for as well as transportation to and from. Im creating this gofundme to put him on the right path not only towards rehabilitation but just a jump start on a better way of life. Your donation will help him more than you could imagine.
Definitions:
Transverse Myelitis:
This neurological disorder occurs when a section of the spinal cord is inflamed, causing pain, weakness, sensory problems and dysfunction in the body. Only 1 in 3 people overcome this rare disorder and he plans on being one of them.
Peripheral neuropathy:
Peripheral neuropathy happens when the nerves that are located outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves) are damaged. This condition often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in the hands and feet. It also can affect other areas and body functions including digestion and urination.
