We're attempting to raise money for Derrek's dialysis treatment to help cure his recent diagnosis of rhabdomyolisis. He has also been diagnosed with autoimmune pancreatitus, stemming from a diagnosis of type 1.5 ( LADA ) diabetes last year. We're desperate to save his life, as he is a loving father to our 8 year old son and a wonderful husband for over 10 years. He has tried to keep his illnesses a secret, but he can no longer do so as he has taken a turn for the worse and now requires dialysis treatment, as-well-as potential hospitalization. ( we will know for sure this upcoming Monday ) His pancreas is rejecting insulin and his A1C is 15.9, leaving him in constant fatigue. He will be unable to return to work until cleared by the doctor to do so, and so our hope is that we can reach out to the community for financial assistance to cover his dialysis costs and minor monthly financial expenses. His treatment ( as of now ) is expected to run for 10-12 weeks. We feel so embarrassed to ask for any help, but we are desperate. Our hope is that we can possibly get numerous people to contribute $2-$5, which will help us reach our financial goal and allow Derrek to continue to love his family, friends, and his life! If we can get everyone to spread this message via social media, I believe we will be successful at reaching our goal, and so we are asking for small donations as-well-as help with the spreading of this message/posting. With love, we thank you all for any help and support, and we ask that you please remember to keep us in your prayers!
