Help the Wiese family get answers

Leah Svadlenak is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Denise Wiese.

Jack is an extremely kind, gentle, and caring 12 year old son of Denise and Brian Wiese. He is the youngest of 4, and has recently become a loving uncle. Jack loves to run, and always has a contagious smile on his face.

Since Jack was born, he has had allergies, anywhere from foods to environmental. When Jack was 2, he started to develop a rash. That rash for the last 10 years has turned into a debilitating rash, causing severe limitations, pain, and a significant decrease in quality of life. The rash is such that Jack is unable to walk on his heels, making the joy of running no longer enjoyable, if he is able to at all. This rash peels, causing him to shedding wherever he stands or sits. This is not only embarrassing, it is painful, often causing bleeding. It has been described as having to “peel Jack out of bed” in the morning, the sores are often draining and/or bleeding. Meaning it is very painful for Jack to sleep. Showering and bathing is another painful everyday activity that makes life for Jack more difficult. Not to mention Jack has developed ENT issues. It is very difficult for him to breathe, and needs sinus surgery.

Denise and Brian have spent countless hours at MANY different specialists. Jack has endured many different kinds of procedures, and testing… to have no solution, no answers as to why Jack has this full body rash that goes from moderate to severe, never fully going away.

The past 10 years has taken a toll on the whole family’s finances, physical health, mental health, relationships, increasing the feeling of helplessness.

Recently Jack has been approved to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN to get a whole team of one of the nations top medical experts to help get answers, and prayerfully get a treatment plan in place. Getting into Mayo is an answer to prayers for the family, as it is clear Jack, and the family cannot go on with these extreme limitations.

This GoFundMe was created to help the Wiese family financially as they continue on this journey for Jack's health.

First and foremost, The Wiese Family asks for prayers

Wisdom for the Dr’s
Discernment for the Denise and Brian as they advocate, and make decisions for their son
Peace
Mental health for all - Jack’s health has been a trauma for the whole family. Depression, and anxiety are already present.
Protection as they travel
Protection for relationships. Both over marriage, and Mother/Father and son relationship. These are high stress situations, being a team, strong, and on the same page are needed to be productive.
Answers - The Wiese Family desire to have answers on why Jack is struggling so.
Healing- That Jack’s body would be healed from the inside out- physically, mentally, and emotionally.
