Camden Minnick Medical Fund

Donation protected


On February 24, 2016, Camden was born six weeks early via emergency C-section in Raleigh, NC.

Early on, doctors believed Camden had a viral infection, but he has now been diagnosed with a very rare life threatening disease, Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). With HLH, cells don't work properly to destroy infected or damaged cells. Because of this, the immune system over stimulates and begins to damage the patient's own tissue and organs, including the brain, liver, and bone marrow. The only cure for this disease is a bone marrow transplant. At this time, Camden is not healthy enough for the transplant and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. 

Camden has been a fighter from day one. He has responded well to steroids, his liver has started functioning and he is responding well to his first doses of chemotherapy. He is able to nurse and be rocked and held by his Mom and Dad. Even with these major improvements, Camden still has a ways to go.It is unknown how long Camden will be in the hospital. Some children who have battled HLH and a bone marrow transplant have spent up to two years in the hospital. Camden will also have medical needs when he is released. The HLH has effected a small part of his brain and the doctors have predicted that he may have some type of deficit and have reoccurring medical needs in the future. 

Charlie, Carrie and Carter Minnick are very thankful for the outpouring of support, love and prayers they have received. Any donation is greatly appreciated to help relieve this family of financial worries, as they already have so much on their plate. This will also allow The Minnick’s to focus their attention on Camden and Carter during the road ahead. Any extra funds will be donated to HLH research.

Thank you for your support and prayers! #‎prayingforcamden
