This loan has been disbursed!

First Posted: April 30, 2010

Name: Christian

Age: 6 years old

Location: Washington, USA

Diagnosis: Autism

Loan Sought: $4,000

Loan Needed For: Partial payment of 40 HBOT [hyperbaric oxygen therapy] dives

Repayment Terms: 24 monthly payments ($166.67/month)

Other Notes: Christian's mom, Tanya, writes, "Christian is our only son and the light in our lives. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3 although he had always been very quiet and to himself. He has such a hilarious personality and he is such a character! Through therapy at school, he has really started to come out of his shell and we just KNOW with HBOT, he'll have a much stronger chance at living a "normal" life. I have always whispered, "Do you know I love you?" in his ear and am just waiting for him to verbally tell me, "Yes, and I love you too, Mama." We are fortunate enough that he is very lovable and affectionate, and can't wait to hear it in words as well. Mother's Day 2009 I heard him call me "Mama" for the first and only time. It was one of the best days of my life. I'm excited with the anticipation of what comes next in his progress.

I heard about Lend4Health from a wonderful woman who is an Autism Advocate by the name of Jana Troutt. During a time when I felt very alone dealing with Autism, Jana reached out with such a caring hand to let me know that everything was going to be ok, and that I am definitely NOT alone."

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

This loan is being repaid!

First Posted: January 28, 2010

Name: Ish

Age: 5 years old

Location: California, USA

Diagnosis: Autism

Loan Sought: $2,000 [Reduced from 4,200 on March 1, 2010]

Loan Needed For: Down payment on a used hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) chamber.

Repayment Terms: 24 months ($83.33/month)

Other Notes: Ish's mom, Naima, writes, "Ish is an awesome little 5 year old. He's the youngest of my 4 children. His sense of humor shines through, penetrating the walls around him called Autism. He's in constant pain and still constantly wears a beautiful smile. His brave little heart is infectious and it keeps me fighting for his health even when the well's run dry.

Since Ish's diagnosis our family has suffered tremendously. My ex husband and I separated shortly after his diagnosis, 3 years ago. Since then this road to recovery has been quite rocky. We lost our home, I lost my business, and our older children lost out on a lot too. Autism rips everyone apart one by one beginning with the host, then spreading to his loved ones. Everyone's affected.

In August we traveled to St. Petersburg, Florida. Mark Fowler, chairman of Hyperbaric Center for Children granted Ish 30 hours of Oxygen. While in treatment, Ish spoke his first words ever. Sadly after exhausting all financial resources we returned to California. My little bit of work (as a hairstylist) is our only means of income. Not being able to work for 4 weeks caught up to us.

Oxygen therapy was the most encouraging part of our journey so far. Ish began playing with unfamiliar children for the first time ever, he spent many nights in my bed, eyes to eyes trying to communicate with me. He showed empathy to a stranger's baby that was crying (wanting to sing to it and kiss it). I got a glimpse at life without Autism.

He spoke his very first sentence in his life "Go downstairs, go downstairs now." He and I spent 10 minutes afterwards just laughing with excitement. That's when I realized he is as much, if not more, frustrated about not being able to express himself.

We've maintained the DAN [Defeat Autism Now] protocol by the grace of God (seriously). We're currently on Chelation (DMPS and EDTA suppositories). Within 4 months it will be time to finish his unfinished hyperbaric treatment. This time the full prescribed hours are NEEDED. I KNOW he will recover with Oxygen Therapy. This time we just need to bring the Chamber to us.

Ish is my Hero!

ADDED MARCH 1, 2010: Ish is desperately needing his Oxygen treatment, we've stopped all chelation due to imbalances and slight regression. $2,000 will ensure the delivery of the chamber to our home. I'm soooo very thankful for all of you. You encourage me to continue fighting for my son. Your notes/messages are read over and over, each time with tears of inspiration in my eyes.

Love and Faith, Naima"

I've been battling many wars (school district, home living situation) lately and trying really hard not to interrupt the consistency of Ish's Recovery Treatment. Ish has come so far since the last time I updated you. He's completed 20hrs [of hyperbaric oxygen therapy], half way to the 1st dose of hours prescribed. He loves school and is in love with his teacher Ms. J. and new teacher's aid Ms. M. He gives them both kisses and says "bye bye see you tomorrow." 5 words!!!! Ish counts to 20, says his ABC's. He was only at 1 word, possibly 2 before HBOT. He is now trying new textures of food, he's not bothered by smells anymore. No longer covers his ears when I turn the vacuum on. He smiles and makes eye contact 100 times more!! Anxiety is down and curiosity is up! He is becoming dangerously excited about new things, people and places. He's no longer predictable (I really have to watch him at all times). He's oozing with a creative itching to explore life, with his eyes wide open spirit! I'm loving this miracle in the making!

Make a Microloan for 6-yr old Brock's Health!

This loan has been fully repaid!

First posted: July 30, 2008

Name: Brock

Age: 6 years old

Diagnosis: Autism

Loan Sought: $2,200 (amount has been reduced since original post; HBOT provider is giving them a deal!) [Amount has been reduced again (on 9/5/08) because local Elks Club gave a grant of $1,500!!!

Loan Needed For: 2-month rental of an HBOT chamber for daily use in the home

Repayment Terms: One lump sum in March 2009

Other Notes: "Brock is amazing," says his mom, Heather, "but we have stalled and need to get back into the Hyperbaric chamber to keep his bacteria load in check. He is really regressing lately, and we are so sad to see him suffer. He spoke his first words when we used a hyperbaric chamber in Florida in 2006 with [DAN!] Dr. Jeff Bradstreet. We need an angel right about now."

It costs $15,000 to buy a soft-sided HBOT for use in the home. Brock's family has a firm financial plan in place to be able to purchase the chamber in early 2009. However, "we don't want to lose precious time," Heather says. So she has found a provider an hour and a half away, Greg Harris (www.bodyspecific.com), who will rent the HBOT chamber to them for use in their home for 2 months. Renting this way will enable them to dive every day without needing to drive the 3-hour round trip to Greg's place (with another child in tow). They will average approximately 50 dives/month then take a break (as is recommended when doing daily dives). Greg will allow them to apply the rental costs toward their purchase, so the money will not be "gone" after the rental period ends. The family also plans to offer their HBOT to well-known friends with ASD children, so there will be more than one child benefitting from this loan.

Note: Heather has requested that the loan paid directly to the HBOT provider so that lenders will feel more at ease.

November 24, 2008: Update from Brock's mom, Heather: "Hey there Tori!! Funny you should email me today. We have having a real low point with Brock right now. A lot of bacteria and yeast again, which are normally controlled & helped by the [HBOT] chamber, but he's also had a really bad cold, so we can't get in like we want to as the pressure is unbearable. I tried with my cold thinking I could tough it out and WOWZA--that hurts like....some really bad word I guess!! LOL! The bacteria needs antibiotics, which increases/causes yeast, which causes crazy giggle and laugh mania (not even remotely in a cute way either!) at 3:00 in the morning till say about 6:00!! Really a whole lot of fun!! We then get to add Diflucan which helps kill the yeast, but the die off of the yeast produces the foulest behavior and poops! So it is just....indescribable at the moment. I try to feel lucky that this isn't our normal life, as it is just the norm for many. My hat goes off to those families, it's heartbreaking! So-life is sucking right now for him, and truthfully for us as well. . . . The Diflucan usually kills the yeast within a day or two, but die-off lasts a bit longer. We definitely will be keeping it real with family this year as we host Turkey day--how ironic. Welcome to our world family! LOL! It's actually a bit humorous as I just finished reading Jenny McCarthy's "Louder than Words" and her description of Evan is spot on for Brock the past few days!! Well--at least I think it's humorous, I am a bit warped liked that! My best (which is not much right now!) LOL -- Heather." Heather also wanted to note that, instead of renting an HBOT as was stated in the original loan request, they were able to purchase a chamber from another family at their DAN! practice. The money from Lend4Health, a donation from their local Elks program, and additional donations from friends and family made it possible. They also have a local family who will be using their chamber, avoiding a long drive and $$$ as Brock's family is not charging them to use their. "It really ended up a win win situation for us to be able to do this and pass on our good fortune," said Heather.

March 27, 2009: Lump-sum repayment of $1,074 received on-time. This loan has been fully repaid. This family is considered to be in good standing on Lend4Health and, therefore, is eligible to request another loan on Lend4Health if they so choose.
