Jones Needs Your Help

Dear Batchmates and Friends,

Good Day!

As some of you may have heard, our batchmate and friend Jones Capucao is in need of our prayers and help.

Just weeks ago, his entire body was paralyzed. He even can’t, at the very least, open his eyes. This was caused by a sudden drop of electrolytes in his body making it very much vulnerable to other illnesses. Though he submitted himself to a complete medical examination in UST, all tests were found negative. Until now, the doctors cannot give a definite diagnosis. However, his wife suspects that Jones is suffering from Guillain-Barré Syndrome (http://www.gbsfi.com/overview.html).

I saw Jones condition last week and he is on his way to recovery. He can now open his eyes, move his head, move his tongue, and move a bit of his hands. However, he cannot move yet his mouth. He communicates by sticking out his tongue. His therapy would take a long process. In my observation, he needs physical, neuro, and speech treatments.

I would like to ask everyone for suggestions on how we could help Jones in our own little way. If you have suggestions in mind, don’t hesitate to contact me at my email address (jcm@sili.adnu.edu.ph) or call me at +639189389833.

I would appreciate it much if you can forward this to others especially those not included in my list.

Let us help and pray for Jone’s fast recovery.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Joshua Martinez
