Please help save my daddy's life.

We are posting this on behalf of our beloved Pierre who needs help raising money for medical treatments that could save his life.

Here is his story:

My name is Joseph Pierre St. Laurent, and three years ago, I never would have imagined what my life would become.

At 65, I was healthy, working, and enjoying life. I would take my dog Tyson to parks, spend time at the beach, visit local bars and listen to bands. My greatest joy was spending time with Tyson, my two kids and three grandkids. I visited a doctor that year and passed my physical exam with flying colors.

But on July 4, 2021, my world changed forever.

I jumped from a boat, hoping to go for a swim — but I didn’t realize the water was shallow.

My left foot dove straight into a rock, and I felt an instant jolt shoot from my foot to the top of my head. I didn’t know it then, but my life would never be the same.

Over the next few weeks, I developed a left foot drop, followed by left leg weakness. Hospital visits led to MRIs and CT scans, but there were still no answers.

That December, I went for a nerve conduction study and was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Not believing my diagnosis, I tried many holistic and energy remedies with no success. I met with two other neurologists and received the same harrowing ALS diagnosis.

I went from a weak left leg, then lost my ability to walk entirely — and the problems only grew worse. Over the months and years ahead, I would face difficulty breathing, swallowing, and lose my mobility completely.

As of July 2024, I cannot speak or move anything but my eyes. I have a trach connected to a vent 24/7 to be able to breathe. I have a foley catheter, a feeding tube, and have to be disimpacted twice a day as I am unable to have bowel movements on my own.

I am in a prison in my own body, and I need help.

Despite all of this, I still have the same zest for life I once did, and yearn to one day enjoy the outdoors with my dog Tyson once again. While I may not be as I once was, I hold on to hope from promising new medical advances in trials and medicine.

Revive a Cell Biotechnology located in California has had many ALS reversals using a protocol that involves cleaning the blood and then administering stem cells. They feel confident they can give Pierre quality of life by getting him off his life support and with about 8 months of physical therapy the ability to walk again. This is the results they have had with many other ALS patients. The cost of the total protocol would be 100.000k. Should we raise 30k by the end of this week the company can come to Florida as soon as this Monday and spend a week doing this protocol with Pierre. They have offered to do a private fundraiser to raise the rest of the funds through their fundraising team which would take a couple months.
