Help JJ Restore His Vision
Donation protected
Hello Everyone, we are Friends of JJ and are fundraising on his behalf. JJ has lost much of his eyesight and is in need of treatment for optic nerve damage. Knowing JJ as we do, he is too humble to ask for help, so we've decided to ask for financial help on his behalf. Here is JJ's story in his own words:
"My health issues began in October 2016 when I was diagnosed with fungal meningitis. After the initial treatment, I was prescribed medication that was supposed to keep the meningitis under control. However, after more than 60 days on the medication, I began experiencing vision problems and symptoms of low potassium. Upon returning to the hospital, they couldn’t identify what was happening. I was informed that I needed to be transported to the university hospital.
The university hospital quickly identified that the prescribed medication I was on was immune to the infection. Unfortunately, by this time, there was already significant damage to my optic nerves, resulting in severe vision loss.
While researching treatment options for optic nerve damage, I came across Fedorov Restoration Therapy, located in Berlin, Germany. This therapy is a 14-day process that combines the sciences of Ophthalmology and Neurology. It is a non-invasive and non-surgical method aimed at naturally restoring or improving vision, with stable outcomes and no risk of side effects. The money inquired would cover the treatment/therapy sessions, exams, flights, and hotel stay."
