Hello everyone!
I’m trying to help my little brother out who is currently fighting a battle to walk again. First I ask that you pray for a speedy recovery for him and for his wife who’s also trying to do it all after just giving birth to their baby boy Blake.
My brother was just recently diagnosed with MOG antibody disease. (MOGAD) is a recently coined neuro-inflammatory condition that preferentially causes inflammation in the spinal cord and brain. Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a protein that is located on the surface of myelin sheaths in the central nervous system. While the function of this glycoprotein is not exactly known, MOG is a target of the immune system in this disease. The diagnosis is confirmed when MOG antibodies in the blood are found in patients who have repeated inflammatory attacks of the central nervous system.
Joey and Kim just welcomed their 4th child less then two weeks ago. Between Joey being partially unable to use his legs he’s unable to work for an indefinite amount of time. He will be having to undergo extensive rehab in order to walk again. All of which will cost them lots of money.
Joey is the primary income for the family and has not and will not be able to work for a while.
They need your help in order to get by with their monthly bills. Anything anyone can do to help would be greatly appreciated.
My brother is a strong man and would never ask for help, so I will do it for them. If you know Joey, you know he would do anything he can for anybody. This situation is terrible and it’s going to be a long road to recovery.
