*from siren (vox)*...Those of you who know Bear probably know what's been going on, some of you don't. Most of you who are here probably are here because you know Bear. Some of you don't. So here's the story for those who don't know it.Bear is a rennie who's been on the road for several years. His wife is the beautiful Gypsy, who many of us know as the loud-mouthed a lovable Rosegirl. He's also a very dear friend to many people.
He's also having some serious neurological issues, and nobody knows what's wrong. Gypsy describes it as "It's like I'm living in the movie '50 First Dates.' I'm starting to think that I should get a camera so that I can record every day for him so that he can remember."
Bear's memory is, for an unknown reason, fading very seriously. He has serious long-term memory problems, forgetting entire periods of his life and everyone who he met in them. He doesn't remember the majority of not only days weeks and months, but entire years are slipping away. Gypsy says "It's like a notebook written in ink that someone spilled water on. Some of it's there, some of it you can kind of put together, and some of it is gone entirely."
He's also being sent to the hospital an average of once a week with serious seizures that no-one can explain.
Medical bills are seriously piling up, and they're having a very hard time finding doctors to help them, to even look at Bear or schedule him for the tests he needs. So far, no one knows what's wrong, and until we find out, there's no way that they can even think about treatment options.
This is where we come in, folks. Let's help them out. Have a few bucks to spare? Even five dollars, even ONE dollar adds up and will help them very much.
As for the Creator of this page, I'm Siren. Some of you know me as Vox. And Bear and Gypsy have done everything they could to help me when I needed it. They've done everything they could to help others--Some of you may be on that list. I don't have much money to myself. Neither do a lot of you. But if a lot of people give a little bit, that's a lot. And any help is better than none.
For those of you who know Bear and Gypsy, I'm sure they'll thank you themselves. For those of you who don't--I thank you, and so will Karma.
