Help Jesse end his horrific journey

Hi, my name is Alicia Banuchi, I am 76 years old and raising funds on behalf of my son, Jesse Stark, so he can start to live again.

Medical expenses and trips to meet with medical specialists throughout the U.S. to find an answer to his years of accelerating debilitation have left us completely broke, all our savings gone, and Jesse has lost everything. But we are hopeful that he will recover within a year with the help, support and prayers of all of you.

After 12 years of misdiagnoses, countless ER visits, horrific pain and sleepless days, Jesse was finally diagnosed with a rare disease, Eagle Syndrome. He's had 3 back-to-back surgeries: 2 at Emory Hospital, Atlanta Georgia for thoracic outlet decompression, and 1 at UCF Lake Nona Hospital, Orlando Florida for a related, complicated styloidectomy less than two weeks thereafter.

Your contributions will allow Jesse to pay for shelter, utilities, groceries, a used car, medical bills, and decent health insurance to cover rehab and medical follow-up without worrying as he recovers.

In the past, Jesse worked as an Illustrator, Muralist, Tattooist, Certified Jiu-jitsu Instructor and Coach and is a positive mentor and teacher to youth through a hands-on disciplined approach to mural painting, and Jiu-jitsu training.

All who donate, regardless of the amount, are entitled to a free copy of Jesse's self-published book LIFE ON THE MATS Universal Jiu-Jitsu Wisdom: 400 Meditations & Discoveries (also available through Amazon.com). Please hit the Contact button to let me know where to mail it to you.

Finally, I know nothing about social media and Jesse is in no condition to help. I would be forever grateful if you could share our fundraiser link (https://gofund.me/f360759f), with people you feel will help the cause. Spreading the word would be incredibly helpful. Thank you, and God grant you golden blessings throughout your lifetime.
