Overcoming Relentless Agony

Donation protected
My name is Joe Zoller. Among other things, I am a husband who is infatuated with his wife, a father of five wonderful-if-not-frustrating children, a 22-year veteran science educator working full-time in a private high school in Houston (TX), an original metalhead of the 80s, a die-hard fan of several sports teams (St. Louis Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, St. Louis Blues, Arsenal, Wisconsin Badgers, BYU Cougars), a music lover (with a particularly eclectic affinity for 70s Rock, 80s Pop/Dance/Rock, 90s Country, Cool Jazz, Smooth Jazz, Prog Metal, Speed Metal, Power Metal, and especially Thrash Metal), and (the reason for this site) a "CRPS Warrior" or one of many who suffer from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (Type II).

Because of my CRPS, I am in constant, severe pain, but am determined to continue serving the students who I teach and providing for the family who I love. Unfortunately, this determination comes with an exorbitant financial burden, and my monthly medical expenses range from $120 up to $500+. I have therefore created this GoFundMe page with the idea that people who wish to help to offset the cost of my medical treatments can do so in a way that allows them to make official IRS declarations rather than just donating cash directly to the cause.

If you do not itemize your tax deductions, and would prefer to just make a straight donation, please contact me through the messaging system here at GoFundMe, and I will work with you to figure out the best method to use to transfer your offering.

With genuine appreciation from myself, my family, and my students, I thank you for your consideration.

--Joe Zoller of Houston, Texas (formerly of Manitowoc, Wisconsin and of Schaumburg, Illinois).
