Help Justin White fight MS
Donation protected
Hello everyone, for those of you who don’t know me my name is Justin White, on may 24th of this year I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. After a few months of symptoms that started with chronic back pain and numbness in left arm and hands, I went to see a doctor thinking I had a pinched nerve, things turned out far worse than I had anticipated. After several MRI’s showing lesions on my brain and spine aswell a spinal tap I was diagnosed with MS. To make matters worse I was put on unpaid medical leave from my job in March and subsequentially let go following my diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Even though I was paying for my medical insurance out of pocket at this time, my employer terminated my insurance policy without telling me and an infusion treatment that I had previously received under coverage is now my responsibility to pay out of pocket, heres the bill. And that’s just one of the bills, I have plenty more from MRIs and testing that im also responsible for.
Also while all of this is going on I have a 3 year old son to take care and my wife and I are expecting another baby boy in March. The financial strain that has been put on us is getting to be unbearable to be honest. I had originally planned to be back at work or on the road to stabilizing my condition but unfortunately my MS has progressed much faster than I had anticipated and has started to attack my legs making it difficult for me to walk without a cane or assistance, I also suffer from painful muscle spasms and a litany of other issues caused by MS, such as cognitive issues, memory loss, heat sensitivity and chronic pain to name a few. Its been hard going from working 40-60 hours a week to having trouble getting out of bed and doing normal household tasks, I struggle some days with just tying my shoes or lifting my son into his car seat. It was very hard for me to make this video and ask for help but here I am. If you can donate I cant tell how much Id appreciate it and even if you cant just sharing it will hopefully go a long way.
