Donate to help the Kelso Ruiz family.

The Kelso Ruiz family have been through so much, but things got harder recently.

Their son, William, has a very rare genetic mutation (only 43 people worldwide were known to have it in 2018).

It is NAA15 switch mutation (amino acid type was switched, so not a true deletion/duplication).

Of the people who have this, they also are prone to things like seizures, cardiomyopathies, autism, global developmental delays, hypotonia, learning disabilities.

Kristine and Chris advocated and fought hard to get this diagnosis when Will was 18months old and since then have poured everything into making sure that he has the best care and support possible.

Unfotunately last week Will started with seizures. He was found in his bed, seizing for and unknown amount of time. By the time the hospital got this under control he had been seizing for at least 2.5hours. He was unconsious and intubated.

The hours and days that followed were touch and go, as it was unclear if Will would recover and whether he had sustained permanent damage.

Thankfully he has woken up and appears his normal self. They are continuing to monitor closely.

As you can imagine, all of this care (including airlift to the hospital) is costly. Not to mention the time off work (already reduced hours to accommodate other therapies etc) as well as increased childcare costs for big brother Joe.

Kristine and Chris are incredible. They show up, advocate, love their boys, and they scarifice.

Please help us to help them- any amount of financial assistance will help relieve some of the unbelievable pressures they are under and allow them the time they need to heal themselves and their family after this trauma.

Thank you so much for your help and support!
