"D is a fighter, during his time out in India he h alrey suffered from Malaria and Dengue Fever even before COVID-19 and yet he h remained resolute in his determination to stay in country and continue his work help people that needed his support. He h not been able to travel home due to pandemic and as a family, we understood his desire to continue to support many people who relied on him. We were naturally concerned about him though and n when we heard he h also suffered what is usually a fatal snake bite on top of all that he h been through, we honestly could not believe it. It really has been touch and go, he is stable at moment although he has paralysis in his legs and blindness, both of which we hope is temporary," said Seb jones in his statement on GoFundMe page.
