My name is Jackie and I am Ben's best friend. I have known Ben for over a decade. Ben is a kind hearted, warm, loving person that would help anyone in need. He was smart, funny, intelligent and full of life.
Overnight, he was tragically hit with a massive stroke that left him without his speech, vision or use of the left side at 33 years of age. He had to undergo brain surgery due to swelling of the brain and was left with 67 staples in his head. The doctors say the staples will remain for the next 6 months. After that, its a long road to recovery with physical therapy, speech therapy and any other kind of help he can receive in a rehabilitation center.
Ben comes from a family of immigrants. His father, a taxi cab driver, also is a stroke victim survivor. His mother, an elderly woman, is unable to work. They hardly have any means to cover medical expenses for Ben's recovery.
Ben was a hard worker. He struggled to make ends meet, but he never asked anyone for help. He always tried his best to pull through. Unfortunately, overnight, he is left without speech, vision, or use of his body. He needs your help desparately to get back on his feet. Any amount of donation will make a difference. May G-d bless you for your kindness to help another person in need.
