Make a Microloan for 5-yr old Zachary's Health!

First Posted On: September 28, 2009

Name: Zachary

Age: 5 years old

Location: Michigan, USA

Diagnosis: PDD-NOS

Loan Sought: $827 [reduced from $997 on 10/8/09]

Loan Needed For: Tests from Great Plains (heavy metal $135, organic acid test w/yeast $340, amino acids $219, and glutathione $85); and probiotics ($48).

On 10/8/09 this loan request was reduced from $997 to $827 because the family found a compounding pharmacy where they can get B-12 injections covered by insurance, and because the family received a donation of cod liver oil from Nordic Naturals. These were items that were previously part of the loan request.

Repayment Terms: 12 months ($83.08/month).

Other Notes: Zachary's mom, Jackie, writes: "Zachary is 5 years old. He was diagnosed with PDD-NOS and DBD-NOS at age 3. He is currently GFCFEF [gluten-free, casein-free, egg-free], and is supposed to be on Calcium, CoEnzyme, Probiotics, B12, Glutathione, Multi's, digestive enzymes, and fish oil. We saw incredible changes over the past year of being treated biomedically. As of 3 months ago when he was receiving everything he was supposed to, he was 70% recovered. Unfortunately, he has regressed since coming off the supplements (mostly the B12 and Glutathione).

We need this loan because without it we are unable to get him what he needs. We have other children (all with special needs), and unfortunately many of their medical expenses/doctor appts/testing is not covered by insurance.

Zachary is an incredible boy. He is extremely smart and friendly and is loved by many. He has been through a rough time, as he's been sick since birth. He suffers from many things that go along with Autism (Candida, Acid Reflux, allergies, asthma, eczema, possible Celiac (awaiting scheduled surgery), weakened immune system, etc. and has spent most of his life in doctors offices/hospitals. He is a very sweet boy who just wants to be happy and play, and is an incredible athlete."
