Pictured here is Rusty Eugenio at the hospital in Baguio, Philippines getting an x-ray. About a year ago he was at work on a construction job and he hurt his back. He stayed at home the next day and within two days he was bent over horribly and intense pain. He has been completely debilitated by his back injury. This story only gets sadder when you find out Rusty has three small children and is now begging on the streets in severe pain trying desperately to raise money to feed his kids and young wife. When I saw him in 2006 he was in perfect health and was a strong young man full of life. The last time I saw him in he was bent in such a way that I could not believe. You could see clearly how bent his back was and it was obvious that his muscles were contorted by his herniated disc.
Pictured here above is the actual x-rays of Rusty. I'm personally a big fan of chiropractors but as the note below says there is a fracture that is causing this problem here.
Pictured here in these shots below is Rusty standing and showing how bent his back is. After seeing doctors in Baguio the conclusion was that Rusty needs an MRI and most likely an operation. We are trying to raise 14k peso (around us$300) for an MRI. Fortunately Bunso Raine (Rusty's brother) found a government run hospital where there is no fee for doctors only medicine and a fee for the room. But tests like MRI's cost money still cost money.
Please help Rusty! Send a dollar now to pay for his MRI
