am writing this very vulnerable post with a deep sense of appreciation for anyone who takes the time to read it, thank you. This is about my brother Armando or as some of you know as “Q”. My brother is one of the most incredible humans I have ever known, he continues to amaze me with his willingness to continue to show up despite the medical roller coaster he has been on for years. Most of you are not aware of how much pain my brother is in daily, and how even through the pain he still manages to be the best Husband, Father, Son, Brother and leader in the community. He has dedicated his life’s work to helping fellow veterans who have traumatic brain injuries like the one he has. My brother served 2 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and has been exposed to deadly toxins and was in multiple I.E.D blast exposures. To this day he is in constant pain and suffers seizures, he still shows up for everyone. Our family was told by the VA that he has been diagnosed with “Gulf War Syndrome ‘’ which there are currently no treatments for this in the U.S. we have been informed that there was nothing more they can do. Many of my brother’s friends who he has deployed with are experiencing the same symptoms and some unfortunately have passed. My sister in law has been doing everything she can to advocate for him, she was made aware of an alternative stem cell treatment in Mexico that is not available in the U.S. and this procedure has seen amazing results. It is currently the only treatment for Gulf War Syndrome. My brother is a very private person, and has gone many years attempting to deal with this on his own. He has tried everything and I do energy work on him every single time I see him and will continue to do so. My family and I are worried of what will happen if he does not receive this treatment. I started a go fund me to help cover the cost of this treatment, and we are taking every other opportunity to raise the funds for this. I will be hosting ceremonies and donating 100% of the proceeds to this, please be on the lookout for those if you feel called. Any donations, shares, or prayers are deeply appreciated. The link is in my bio thank you so much.
