Miracles for Maxine
Donation protected
Maxine is a sweet 2 year old little girl (and proud big sister!), recently diagnosed with Leukodystrophy, a progressive, metabolic, genetic disease, that causes destruction to the white matter in her brain.
From her mother & father, Heather & Kevin:
"Maxine has had a hard time walking and has been in physical therapy to help strengthen her muscles. As her therapy progressed her walking got worse, to a point where she only crawls or needs to be carried. We had an MRI of her brain and spine to try and figure out what is going on with our sweetest little love. We received some devastating news that Maxine has a genetic white matter brain disease. All we know now is that there are no cures or treatments, we will just have to manage her symptoms. We don't know how quickly this disease will progress so her dad and I made a promise to each other to not give up hope and make sure she has all of the happiest memories and experiences everything she possibly can, while she can. Maxine has touched so many people's lives and she is a light like no other in this world. She has filled our hearts with so much love and happiness ♡ We will cherish every moment of everyday with our sweet girls."
Maxine is currently struggling to eat or drink, and will soon undergo surgery to place a G-Tube in her stomach so she can get nutrition.
Thank you for helping support Maxine and her family. We are praying for a miracle for this darling angel!
