Please Help Support Ben's Journey with Meniere's
Donation protected
Hello all,
I'm reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support during an incredibly difficult time for our family. I know things are hard for so many of us right now, but if you’re able, any donation, no matter how small, would mean the world to us.
We recently found out my husband, Ben, is suffering from Meniere's disease. Meniere's disease is a long-term health problem and has no cure, but treatments can help ease symptoms. He's almost lost all hearing in his right ear and suffers from severe, unexpected, debilitating vertigo attacks that can cause falls and puts him at risk for harming himself during everyday activities. Over the past few months it's gotten worse and has really started to affect his overall quality of life. His “spells” can last anywhere from hours to multiple days.
Ben is the most loving husband, devoted father to our babies, and a kind-hearted friend to so many. His strength and resilience inspire me every day, but the road we're on right now is long and costly. He tirelessly works to provide for our family of 7, but we could really use some extra help paying for his treatments. Even with insurance, each injection he needs costs a little over $1,000. Right now, we're looking at atleast 3. The disease is unpredictable, and there's no telling how often he'll have to have these done. We're also looking at MRI costs, neurological testing, and possibly surgery further down the line. I'm honestly not even sure how much longer he'll be able to work.
I hate having to ask for help, but we've exhausted every other option.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness and generosity.
