Sylvan "Jack" Jakosalem has been left paralyzed from a recurrence of Neurocysticercosis -- a parasitic infection of the brain. After falling into a coma, several surgeries, and being confined at the Intensive Care Unit of a local hospital for months, the overwhelming emotional and financial strain of Jack's ordeal has shattered his life and that of his family's.
