Support for Zayn Allen's Medical and Travel Fund

Hi Everyone, I'm Zayn Allen the youngest sibling in my family. Mommy says I'm Diana Ross and the rest of them are the Supremes because they follow my lead. I Have 2 older sibling Leila Rene' (9) and Kingson Allen (6) who love me to pieces.

We are a small little family who are asking for help in any way you can!

So, here's a bit about me, well I was born early at 36wks via c-section due my Mommy having Severe Polyhydramnios. Mommy measured 42wks when I was born due to me not being able to swallow any amniotic fluid because at the time our team of specialist believed I would be born with a rare congenital defect called Esophageal Atresia BUT.... That wasn't it! After I made my grand entrance into the world 11/20/2022 the NICU Team quickly provided life saving measures before taking me to my room.

When I was 5 days old, Due to my breathing issues I had my first of many procedures this one was called a DLB (Direct Laryngoscopy and Bronchoscopy) where it was determined that I had a different condition called (Laryngeal Tracheal Cleft Type 3) which is very severe due to the survival rate being so low, but I was determined to survive and after a month I was transferred to a bigger hospital that was better equipped to treat my unique condition. Mommy was there learning as much as she could and still taking care of not only myself but my 2 siblings traveling back and forth form Aubrey, TX to Dallas, TX every other day.

SOOOOO here where the story gets a bit wild and why Mommy calls me her little "Da Vinci Code". Well, it was discovered that I was born with many duplications which follows, 1 duplicate of my small intestine, 3 duplications of my large intestine, malrotation without volvulus and 2 fully formed bladders which both have their own kidney, own ureter and connect at my prostate. My specialty Doctors are still stumped as to how this could have happened but luckily, I was accepted into a program The Undiagnosed Diseases Network that can give me and Mommy more answers this January.

Due to all my rare congenital defects, I've had many surgeries, and I stayed in the NICU for over 8 months. During that time in the hospital, I had 5 major surgeries 1 was to give me a trach to help me breathe and another 1 to repair my intestines. My life hasn't been the easiest, but Mommy has done her best and this is why I'm here asking for help.

Being that we live so far from my specialty doctor's Mommy has had to drive her car a lot to make it to my appointment that are usual an hour to 2hrs way making trips sometimes twice a week. Her car isn't doing so well and due to Mommy being my full-time caregiver and still taking care of my siblings, she is unable to work which is making it difficult to get her a new car and even save money for a down payment. She uses what money she does have to provide a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, food on out tables and sometimes purchasing medical supplies that aren't covered by my insurance.

I'm here to ask for help because I didn't ask to be born this way but as unique as I am Mommy is really needing your help most of all at this time to help get a family vehicle and provide some financial relief when it comes to my care. Being in the hospital for so long and a lot of expended stays due to infections and respiratory issues, I became the nurses and doctors favorite so I'm hoping my story will catch your attention to help in any way you can.

I truly thank you for reading my unique story and hope I inspired you in some way even if it's just sharing my story amongst your family and friends.
