Donate to Ease Alex's Medical Journey

Dearest Friends, Family and Loved Ones

As some of you may know, my niece, Tiffany McKenzie and her family, are going through something that I can’t imagine. Their son, Alex, has been fighting for his life for the last four years. He was born without kidneys and with other significant medical challenges. Early last year, Alex received a kidney transplant. Recently, it has become evident that the kidney is no longer viable. He is being evaluated to determine if another transplant will be needed.

This amazing little boy has been going through multiple blood transfusions, dialysis, hemodialysis and other painful testing. Until now, he has been able to be treated at home; although at significant hardship to the family. He currently will have to go to the hospital three times a week for in-hospital hemodialysis.

The parents cannot work during this time, so they can share the love of taking him to his treatments and care at home. Four other children in the household don’t completely understand the dire condition of their brother. The family does not have ample transportation to allow them to be together or travel to and from the hospital.

This tender family needs support in various ways.. Any monetary donations will be used to meet his excessive needs, activities, or small excursions to enjoy each other and possibly get a van of some kind for transportation. They have never asked for help, nor have they been open about what they endure every day. Please reach out to Tammy, Christian or myself if you would like to contribute anything outside of the GoFundMe.

During this challenging time, I hope to relieve this family of as many burdens as possible so they can focus on making cherished memories with their beloved boy. Your kindness, whether through a kind word, a gesture of compassion, or a donation, can help refill their cups of strength and ease their worries.

If you feel moved to contribute, your donation—no matter the size—will go a long way in helping this family focus all their energy and love where it’s needed most. Every bit of support brings them closer to peace of mind during this difficult time.

Thank you for opening your heart to this family in need.
