Get Terrence Lee Back On His Feet
Donation protected
As anyone who knows Terrence will tell you, there isn't much that gets him down. He's an outgoing, upbeat and active guy with a positive outlook on life and a smile for everybody he sees during a typical day. That is, until Monkeypox hit him.
You've probably heard about Monkeypox in the news recently. It's a virus that causes flu-like symptoms and a rash, most commonly, and clears up completely in about 1 to 3 weeks. But in just a few exceedingly rare cases (only three are known in the U.S.) the infected person becomes paralyzed. This is what has happened to Terrence. The happy social, physically active person everybody knew is now trapped in a hospital bed, unable to dance or even walk. The doctors can't say what the future holds for Terrence, only that he has a long and difficult recovery ahead, one that could take years and may or may not include recovering the use of his legs.
For now, Terrence is working hard in physical therapy and trying to be prepared for life in a wheelchair. As you might guess, he's been unable to work either of his jobs during this ordeal. Insurance is helping with some of the medical costs, but the rest, plus holding onto a home to hopefully return to soon, mean the bills are piling up.
Terrence has brought a lot of joy to a lot of people over the years. Hopefully they can return that joy to him, now
when he needs it most. Please help get him the assistance he needs right now, and...
Let's get Terrence Lee back on his feet!
