Besides Jason Becker, I only know one other individual who is strickened by ALS. He is Riz Sunawan, a former news presenter here. It's good to know he'd received some help, together with other local & well-known individuals in the media / entertainment industry here. The immediate impact of living with a serious medical condition is the loss of income. Ironically, the individual would be facing mounting medical bills but where is the money coming from?
Having been in this situation, I could totally feel for these individuals who are relegated to the fringes of memories with virtually no incoming funds to oversee their medical attention. Have I recovered from this financial plight? Absolutely no. I don't see any positive financial recovery for myself in the near future. It's about living day to day with uncertainty & virtually no savings; what comes in goes out with limited savings prospects. It's a real struggle but we are grateful for what we have now, limitations & all, because we know they are others more miserable than us out there.
