A dying boy's wish

Meet Elijah.
Elijah was a patient of mine approximately two years ago. I transported him from Pres Hospital to Rust Medical Center for an appointment. Elijah has a very aggressive form of cancer called Mets Ewing Sarcoma. He has been battling this horrific cancer for almost four years now.
Despite the ongoing treatments, extensive traveling to several hospitals and constant side effects from the radiation treatments and chemotherapy, Elijah keeps a smile on his face and stays very positive. I have never met a happier child. He has chosen to make the best of the situation that he is in.
Sadly, this week, Elijah and his family have been told that the treatment that he has been receiving is failing and that his cancer has spread at a rapid rate. His care will now change to a more palliative level to keep him comfortable and then hospice. Elijah has a lot of pain most of the time and is now wheelchair bound. Even with this news, he remains positive and gracious about his fate.
Not too long ago, Elijah created a bucket list of the things he would like to do. He has been able to mark several of those things off his list. One of the things on the list is to see a LIVE OAKLAND RAIDERS football game. I would like to make that happen for him. This is a big request with a very short amount of time to accomplish it. The Raiders only have two games left that are feasible for Elijah to go to. The first one is NEXT Sunday at their home stadium in Alameda, CA and the second one is on New Years Eve in Los Angeles. Can you help me make this happen? My goal is $3500. That will cover airfare, hotel, tickets, food and some spending money.
I realize that it is the holiday season and we all have more presents to buy than we care to think about, but this is the last chance Elijah will have. The LAST. He is dying. There will be no more chances next year. I am asking, begging you to help me make this happen. Can you spare $5.00? Every little bit will help. Please do what you can. I will be most grateful and you will give a dying child one last dream come true.
