Charlies Story

Charlie was born with penopubic epispadias, a rare congenital condition that has left him incontinent. Since he was just six months old, he has undergone three surgeries in hopes of correcting the issue, but unfortunately, none have been successful so far.

Earlier this year, a specialist in Atlanta told us that Charlie’s only remaining option was a permanent catheter and closing off his bladder—something no parent wants to hear. Refusing to give up, we sought a second opinion at Boston Children’s Hospital. There, we were given renewed hope: doctors believe Charlie is a strong candidate for bladder neck reconstruction surgery, a procedure that could greatly improve his chances of staying dry and living a more typical, carefree childhood.

We’ll soon be traveling back to Boston for this major surgery to give Charlie the best possible care. This journey brings significant financial strain—from extensive medical bills and travel costs to a month-long stay out of state, unpaid time off work, and our usual household expenses.

We’re asking for your help — not just for financial support, but to be part of Charlie’s journey. Every donation, every share, every kind word helps us move closer to giving our little boy the life he deserves.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading, supporting, and standing with us. We are so grateful.
