Anthony Scaletta
“Never resist a generous impulse”
is a quote I once heard by a well respected elder in my community, and boy did that resonate!!
This is my “Brain Brother” Anthony. He and I both survived TBIs and met at yoga teacher training 5 years ago. Anthony is an AMAZING human who is dedicated to living simply and serving others, but has had some difficult years since returning from his Special Forces assignments in our US Navy. The last two years have relegated this tenacious warrior into essentially, a human recluse enduring constant pain.
His military service related injuries include:
* broken spine w/ L5/S1 spinal fusion and chronic back pain
* PTSD
* TBI
* fibromyalgia
* OCD
* IBS
* Tinnitus
* Osteoarthritis (he is 39 yo)
His recent health challenges include:
* CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) from toxic mold exposure
* Rheumatoid arthritis
* Hashimotos' disease
* Bipolar Type 2
* Pernicious anemia
* Anxiety
* Depression
He has FINALLY discovered that toxic mold in his living environment is likely the underlying root cause of his deteriorating health. The good news is that he has located a new mold free home to move into!!! The bad news is that experts STRONGLY advise to replace ALL of his belongings since mold spores can be so insidious and clandestine.
If you know Anthony and have been touched by his tender heart and are feeling a generous impulse to contribute to Anthony’s Go Fund Me Campaign, please know that your donation will go directly toward supporting Anthony’s relocation, the refurbishing of his new apartment and his ongoing medical expenses to treat his chronic medical conditions, and help my Brain Brother regain some peace and autonomy’!!!
