Syeed’s Comatose & Neurological Recovery

Donation protected
My name’s Seon & my big brother Syeed has been hospitalized, from what unfortunately turned out to be fentanyl poisoning. He has suffered brain damage from extended oxygen deprivation.
He cannot breathe on his own and we have him on life-support as he lays in a coma.
Our family is determined to bring him back to us & we humbly welcome any help that anyone can give.

Syeed is a beautiful beautiful person. He’s an outstanding artist, profound thinker, & an inspirational rock for which his family always cherishes. He judges no one, he gives time to perspectives that most would overlook, he would do anything for the people he loves and he’s exceptionally brilliant, to say the absolute very least about what makes him so special. He’s lived through so much that I can’t even list it all here & I know he has the strength to live through this with just the right help. We refuse to panic or lose focus for him.

He soared through military school as a star student, with the same adaptability he’s always had. “A Jack Of All Trades Is A Master Of None, But Oftentimes Better Than A Master Of Some”, Syeed always loved to bring up that quote. That constant potential of his, is what empowers him to accomplish whatever he sets his mind to. It’s driven all his endeavors in life. His prowess in track and field. His self-discipline when becoming an amazing culinary scholar. His work-ethic in art school. It’s even driven things about him as personal as his remarkable wit, his passionate imagination, his unconquerable cleverness, his confident ambition, his articulate expression, his dominating courage, his curious nature, his enthusiastic, magnetic, comforting, energy-infectious & charming personality, even his instinct for surviving & thriving in any situation he finds himself in. His devotion to his self-potential not only drove all of this, but it also fueled the strength of his integrity enough to always proudly defend against anything that could influence him to not be himself.

Whenever he has ever been in love with any art, literature, movie, tv show or music, it has always had something to do with an “alternative” essence. What piques his interest about them is how their premises, styles, themes, tones & interpretations “push the envelope”, as well as how uniquely they humble expectations of what life can surprise us with.

Syeed is a wildly successful artist in his own right, and in my eyes. He’s always gone above & beyond achieving, both technically and unconventionally, all of his creative pursuits. A masterful drawing prodigy since a young age, as well as a gifted genius when it comes to visual design & conceptual ideation. His artistic taste has always introduced me to some of the most interesting, raw talent I’ve ever witnessed. Lincoln Park. Xxxtentacion. Eminem. Supa Bwe. Denzel Curry. Lil Peep. Corbin. The list goes on and on.

My brother loves movies like “Place Beyond The Pines”, “Drive”, “The Man From Nowhere”, “No Country For Old Men”, “Good Time”, “El Camino”, “Blue Ruin”, “Fight Club”, “The Batman”, “Green Room”, “What Keeps You Alive”, “I Saw The Devil”, “Oldboy”, “The Killer”, “Hardcore Henry”, “You Were Never Really Here”, “Training Day”, “Brotherhood”, “Bones & All”, & so much more, which, he could spend hours explaining the creative feats, intricacies & motivations of. Such thoughtful, provoking reviews, that they end up entrancing me for days with soul-seeking wisdom to digest.

Syeed loves video games like “Resident Evil”, because of its detailed puzzles & its curiosity-sparking gameplay design, which encourages unending exploration of tailored mystery at one’s own pace. “Sleeping Dogs”, not only because of its focus on the inner-working story potential of the complicated culture behind Yakuza operations, but also because of its carefully thought out martial-arts mechanics, as Syeed happens to be a prolific and natural fighter at heart. “Fallout”, because of its seemingly infinite experience-variation, as well as its historic dedication to immersion through unlimited customization in every aspect. Games from the “Tell Tale” series, because of their unique ability to completely place story-direction & emotional impact in the player’s hands. He has an undying, strict devotion to us playing games on the hardest difficulty settings possible, because anything else might as well not be the actual game. To me, it’s always seemed like he just can’t go without challenging himself. I just wanted you to know him how I know him.

Syeed’s always been a pragmatic, logical person. He stands in spite of ill-informed opinion. A self-described realist. He would never be optimistic about anything without real reasons to do so.

So in the spirit of his character, his virtues, his willpower, his perseverance, & his unbreakable moral fiber, I’ve been solely committed day & night to compiling all peer-reviewed, evidence-backed, result-based scientific precedent I can find that supports conceivable recovery from conditions similar to Syeed’s.

Within the medical landscape, the understanding of clinical treatment which champions psychoplastogens as viable catalysts in neuron-network growth and even brain repair, has become increasingly more promising. The most exciting findings I’ve come across do however happen to be at the cutting edge of this emerging consensus in present therapeutic schools of thought, & so I could easily foresee the financial needs exceeding what our family can support right now, at a time when every second counts for Syeed.

We don’t know how much it’s going to cost to bring Syeed back to us, so any amount of help means more than the world to my family and I.

I thank you for listening to our story, that alone is such a generous kindness and it keeps us going. I hope god blesses you and yours.
