CLIPPERS Disease

Please, I am asking from the bottom of my my heart, to anyone who can help us and share this!

My Uncle Roger was just diagnosed with clippers and is very sick. I don’t have a whole a lot of information about it, just that it is an extremely rare disease where abscesses form on the spinal cord and brain and that my uncle is one of 51 people world-wide to be diagnosed with it. Uncle Roger has lost all but 30% function of his heart and has third stage renal failure.

To those who don’t know, both me and my younger brother Chris are adopted. We were in a bad home situation when young and my uncle Rodger and Aunt Dee adopted us both. Later on when Kody was born and had major defects and such, their good friends, and whom I consider parents (the ones who I have always known as Mom and Dad) took us in, later finishing the adoption in 2008 or 2009.

Uncle Roger was the major working one in the family, but anyways more info is on their go fund me page. Please help! This is the side of my family that means the most to me, and they really need any help they can get!
