Jeff and Amy Cahill Family
Donation protected
Jeff Cahill, 38, has contracted a rare disease called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) which advanced into toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) likely a side effect of a medication he was prescribed for another health condition or medical procedure.
He has been in critical care unit at MetroHealth since July 4. He was placed in a medical coma to manage the pain, as his skin is peeled off. He is now heavily sedated and being treated as a patient with third-degree burns. Initial symptoms were burning red eyes, sore throat, body rashes, swelling of his feet and fever.
We, his family, are still trying to understand this horrific disease, its treatment and prognosis. We anticipate many months of suffering and hardship for Jeff and his immediate family.
Jeff is a wonderful husband to Amy Holzheimer Cahill and father to Sydney and Gavin. He also is a loving son and brother and a hard-working civil engineer.
Due to illness, Jeff lost his job (and potentially medical insurance) a couple months ago. Jeff also, likely due to illness, was recently in an accident that caused severe damage to his car.
Amy is a hair stylist but naturally wants and needs to take time off to care for Jeff and their two children. The family is really struggling financially and we thought this fundraiser might help relieve some of the stress of this frightening, debilitating disease.
We deeply appreciate each and every small donation to help out this incredible family. Money raised will be used only to offset expenses relating to medical treatment, rent, child care, transportation, food and utilities.
