Craig, 52, is reported to have returned from his vacation and has begun to suffer from stomach ailments, which frequently happens to travelers visiting the famous Indonesian island. However, his symptoms continued to worsen and when Craig tried to get to the hospital, he began to lose control of his body.

"But he can not say anything." Because of his condition, Craig uses a chart to spell sentences, and he can only choose one letter at a time using his eyes. According to the GoFundMe page that was created for him by his family, Craig's first question was, "When can I go home?

"He is a dedicated and dedicated family man," said Deborah. "He would do anything for anybody, he's very funny, a strong man, hence his nickname" Rock ", but a heart of gold."
