<div><strong>A Mother’s Plea for Her Son’s Health and Future</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My name is Elizabeth, and I am reaching out for help on behalf of my four-year-old son, Gideon. Gideon was born with Classic PKU, a rare metabolic disorder that prevents his body from breaking down protein properly. To survive and thrive, he must adhere to a lifelong medical diet that strictly limits him to just 7 grams of protein per day—about two cups of broccoli. Without proper treatment, PKU can lead to seizures, severe developmental delays, and cognitive impairments.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The only treatment for PKU is medical food—specialized low-protein foods and formulas that provide the nutrition he needs while avoiding the amino acids his body cannot process. But in Florida, these medical foods are not covered by insurance, and starting in April, Gideon will lose his Medicaid coverage. As a teacher and the wife of a blue-collar worker, we are a hardworking family, but the financial burden of Gideon’s care is overwhelming.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Why We Need Your Help  </strong>

</div>

<div>We are raising funds to ensure Gideon has continuous access to his life-sustaining medical foods and to relocate closer to his metabolic clinic, where he receives care from specialists who monitor his condition. Right now, we live too far from the care team that he depends on, and frequent long trips to appointments make managing his health even more challenging.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your donation will directly support:  

</div>

<div>✅ Gideon’s medical food – Providing the specialized nutrition he needs to stay healthy and avoid neurological damage.  

</div>

<div>✅ Relocating our family – Moving closer to his metabolic clinic so he can receive the ongoing care he desperately needs.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Giving Back to the PKU Community </strong> 

</div>

<div>We also want to make a difference for others facing this struggle.<strong> 5% of all donations </strong>will be donated to the <strong>National PKU Alliance</strong>, which funds groundbreaking PKU research in search of a cure and provides support programs for individuals and families living with PKU.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>How You Can Help </strong>

</div>

<div>Every dollar makes a difference. Whether it’s $5, $50, or simply sharing our story, your support means the world to us. With your help, we can ensure Gideon gets the care he needs to live a happy, healthy life.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> With gratitude, The Bennett Family  

</div>
