Supporting Jesse's Medical Expenses

On Monday November 27th at 6am, Jesse’s body undertook three seizures, two of which were thankfully in the comfort of his own home before the ambulance arrived. Once arriving to Cedars Sinai Hospital in LA, they further examined Jesse and sadly found a tumor in his brain. With no prior symptoms or illnesses this came as a complete shock.

Over the next few days Jesse was held in the ICU unit where he was being cared for by a team of amazing neurologists, doctors and nurses. Unfortunately, they were unable to operate on Jesse as soon as we had hoped as his kidneys at this time were also not functioning.

As of today, Jesse is recovering amazingly. The surgery to remove the brain tumor is set to take place on Monday December 4th.

As most of you know, American healthcare is sadly not at a place where it should be and even with health insurance this is set to leave a financial burden on Jesse - stress we really do not need to deal with during his recovery.

If you know Jesse at all, you know he would do absolutely anything for his friends and family. He’s always the first person there when anybody needs anything and we want to help support him in anyway possible.

We have created this Go Fund Me to hopefully urge any/all of you to help remove this financial burden from Jesse and allow him to heal with his loved ones in peace!

I Joseph Newham created this fundraiser on behalf of my boyfriend Jesse to help during these uncertain times. The amount raised is set to help Jesse Lai with not only his hospital bills but also getting back on his feet as he will be out of work until he has fully recovered.

PS - Please send your well wishes here, where Jesse will be reading all of your comments as opposed to overwhelming him via texts etc ahead of his surgery.
