An Extraordinary Birthday Wish
Today I turn 28. There is nothing extraordinary about this birthday, but I do have an extraordinary birthday wish. My dear friend Will Boyd is critically ill with a heart condition caused by Lupus. This October, my wish is that you, and others you know, would donate $28, in honor of my 28th birthday, to my friend Will Boyd. Will is a servant of this world, a revolutionary, and one of the most giving people you could ever meet. His life is extraordinary, and I want to celebrate him in an extraordinary way.

Medical Details
Will has been critically ill with Lupus since he was 18. He contracted pneumonia during this time and the doctors consequently directed most of their attention to his lungs. However, they failed to notice the amount of trauma to his heart due to the Lupus. The latest biopsy tests show that his heart is in such a weakened state that it would not be able to be revived if he has a massive heart attack. They say his heart could simply stop beating at any moment unless something changes.

The doctors have told him that there is nothing they can do to treat him, but his nutritionist says there is hope. Will is now on a very strict diet consuming lots of Kombucha, Voss, all natural foods, and supplements every day. He has to walk about an hour every day in order to rebuild the strength of his heart and lungs. His diet is extremely intense and has become almost a full time job for him and his fiancé, Elizabeth Rainey, who takes care of him 24/7.

Financial Details
Will has already racked up over $50,000 in medical debts and he does not have that kind of money. At this point, the doctors are denying him treatments due to his lack of funds. He has maxed out his insurance and can't get any more because he has pre-existing conditions (Lupus). His bank accounts have been frozen until he pays the hospitals back. Will is in a desperate financial position, and he needs our help.

What can we DO?
Will definitely needs our prayers. And Will needs us to act now. We are setting up a website that will help streamline all of the needs and make it easier for Elizabeth and Will to get food, messages and donations. But for now, we are asking you to make a donation. We are attempting to raise $100,000. The money raised will cover his current medical bills and help to create a fund for the bills to come. This is a large amount of money for one person, but I believe in community, and I believe that if everyone contributes a little bit, our community can raise this money.

Will has spent most of his life serving others selflessly. He continues to inspire thousands through Invisible Children and many other projects. And he’s just getting started. The projects he’s working on now are changing the world we live in. He needs more time and the world needs more Will. This is your opportunity to save an extraordinary life.

The world cannot afford to lose a Will Boyd. Can you afford to help save one?
