Jack McLean is a beautiful, kind spirited and loving three year old boy who has been diagnosed with Confirmed Primary Mitochondrial Disease Complex 2 & 3, which is one of the rarest combinations of Mitochondrial Diseases. Due to the disease, Jack suffers from many physical problems, including a lack of muscle development and continuous nerve pain.
Every part of Jack's small body has been effected. The smallest things that most of us take for granted have become daily challenges for Jack. Because of these physical challenges, Jack requires multiple daily medications, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, MRI's, and repetitive blood testing, muscle biopsies, endoscopies and more on a regular basis.
The road ahead for Jack is a long one. The cost of long term maintenance is staggering. Over his lifetime, Jack will need to continually see a team of specialists to monitor all of his internal organs, in addition to his current physicians that monitor his ongoing physical problems. There will always be tests that need to be performed, surgeries, travel expenses, medications, etc. that need to be paid for.
His insurance only covers a portion of what he requires, if it covers the services he requires at all. The vitamin regimine and other prescriptions that Jack's team of physicians have put him on exceeds hundreds of dollars every month in co-pays alone.
These bills have become unmanageable for his family.
Jack's family is in need of your support. Please help them by showing your love and support by sending your thoughts, prayers and donations in their time of need.
