My name’s Braeden, and I’ve been tattooing Brayden for the better part of two years. I’m making this with his permission. In my time of getting to know Brayden, I’ve come to know him as a hard working, caring, kindhearted, nurturing and strong-willed husband and father to his wife and children. His 7 year old daughter Eleanor was born with Propionic Acidemia, a rare metabolic disorder. After having already undergone a liver transplant as part of her ongoing medical treatment, her journey is now calling for cataract surgery, which will require specialized lenses that are not covered by insurance. In addition to the medical expenses, her treatment requires travel from Amarillo to Houston, creating additional costs for transportation, lodging, and time away from home.

Throughout it all, Eleanor has remained strong, resilient, and full of joy.

In light of recent wildfires in our area that destroyed multiple communities, Brayden risked his personal safety to keep the flames back as best as possible; and while this goal is fully directed toward Ealeanor, I’m again further emphasizing how deserving this family is of our support. This family is deserving of all good things and I’m honored to have the opportunity to help.

From the family: “We are incredibly grateful for the support, prayers, and encouragement we have received from family, friends, and our community along the way. As we prepare for these upcoming procedures, any support is deeply appreciated. Whether through sharing her story, keeping her in your thoughts and prayers, or helping ease the financial burden, every act of kindness makes a difference and allows us to focus on what matters most—making sure she receives the care she needs. Thank you for your continued support and for being part of our family's journey.”
