This loan is being repaid.
First Posted On: October 15, 2009
Name: Noah N.
Age: 2 1/2 years old
Location: Louisiana, USA
Diagnosis: Autism
Loan Sought: $650 [reduced from $1000 on 1/8/10]
Loan Needed For: Supplements recommended by Noah's DAN! doctor, Stephanie Cave, at their initial appointment. Supplements include zinc, magnesium, DHA, oral MB12, nystatin, enzymes, epsom salts, Super Nu Thera, and riboflavin.
Repayment Terms: 18 months ($36.11/month).
Other Notes: Noah's mom, Cherish, writes: "Noah is 2 1/2 and was diagnosed April 24, 2009. He is a very lovable child and gets his feelings hurt very easily. Noah also has a 1 year old brother. I am pursuing this treatment because I truly believe in it. He is on special vitamins and we have taken away some gluten and casein items and this has made a big improvement. That is why I want to know if he is truly allergic to it. I need this loan because I am a single mother with little support. It is very difficult. I just want to be able to give my child the best chance I can possibly give him in life and I need help doing that. This will greatly be appreciated more than anyone will know."
Special Note: Cherish learned about Lend4Health on Facebook.
