Kyle and his family are modest and ask nothing from anyone that isn't needed. Kyle loves helping others in need – now Kyle needs your help.

Kyle and his family could not afford health insurance.

• On Friday August 28, 2009 Kyle was admitted to Halifax hospital because his legs lost function. After much excruciating pain, the doctors moved him to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and monitored him closely as his breathing began to slow and the numbness grew to his lower abdomen and into his arms.
• On Sunday August 30, 2009 Kyle was finally diagnosed with Guillian Barra Syndrome (GBS). GBS is a very rare (1/100,000) syndrome that causes the body to slowly go numb starting from the feet working its way up. Doctors began one of only two known treatments right away.
• On Monday August 31, 2009 Kyle went critical as the numbness spread to his diaphragm and slowly started to cause a pressure on his lungs that made it nearly impossible to breathe. Doctors prepared a tube for the breathing apparatus but thankfully, he restored his breathing himself. Hours later, the numbness moved down his chest an inch and a half. By now, he had no movement whatsoever.
• On Tuesday September 1, 2009 Kyle was also diagnosed with Lyme disease. This is what doctors believe caused lowered his immune system when he somehow got GBS. Doctors quickly began treatment for the Lyme's and his progress has slowly improved.

Sounds awefully a lot like a scam site that was going around last year, two photo's aren't very much proof, and I find it funny that they are offering an ipod. And if this was real, why could he not afford insurance? Sounds a bit iffy if you ask me. Just be careful if you are gonna donate online, there are a lot of scam sites.

Yeah Joshua just emailed me. Our server provider had a network outage earlier so a few of our server processes were not running (like memcache). Should be fixed now though.
