Hi friends,

This year, for my birthday, I want to do something a little different — something that matters. Instead of gifts or cards, I’m asking for your help in giving my sweet nephew Grayson the gift of a voice.

Grayson’s story is one of resilience.

He was born very premature and spent 70 long days in the NICU, fighting with every ounce of strength his tiny body had. Grayson has been diagnosed with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) and is mostly non-verbal.

One thing that could change his world — and ours — is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) device. With this specialized device, Grayson will be able to communicate his thoughts, needs, and feelings in ways that words currently can’t. It’s a powerful tool that will give him more independence and help him connect more deeply with the people who love him.

Our goal is to raise $750 to cover the cost of this life-changing device.

If you’ve ever wondered what to get me for my birthday, this is it. Every single dollar helps us get one step closer to giving Grayson the voice he deserves.

Even if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser — your support means more than words can express.

Thank you for helping me celebrate my birthday in the most meaningful way possible and for helping give Grayson the opportunity to be heard.

With love and gratitude,

Chelsey
