Kaelis' Recovery Fund
Donation protected

Hello all. Draven, here. It is with a heavy heart and much apprehension that i should inform you that my beloved son Kaelis has been very ill and bedridden for nearly 5 months now with what has been identified, in his most recent diagnosis, as P.O.T.s disease which leaves him in constant agony and a depression equally as debilitating. There seems to be no relief for him in the near future and may actually be an ongoing, indefinite torment in his life. He has, at this point, lost all hopes of getting better and actually confided to me that he thinks he may be dying, which absolutely destroys me. He has missed 2 full semesters of schooling at this point and has also been diagnosed with clinical depression. Pleading for help is NOT my strong suit as you all may know, but this is not about me, it is about a beautiful, creative and sensitive young man who deserves to be/feel whole, healthy and not "less than". Those of us that support him are absolutely drained financially as his medical costs continue to soar based on a broken healthcare system. Truth is, we need funds YESTERDAY to accomplish getting him the help and medication he needs and deserves. I can't believe how strong this child is in the face of so much adversity, but, that strength is waning. Crying as i write this, it would mean the world, EVERYTHING to me just to have our brilliant son back on his game - just to hear him laugh or see him smile again without the fear that he is faking it so he is not " making me sad", as he puts it. Can you imagine a kid in this state of mind/body actually worrying that it's his fault for things being hard?? Please. Anything at all you can spare would be an enormous help. Anything. I would and will be eternally grateful, and the world will retain a happy, giving, empathic and simply wonderful being. Much love to you all. <3
