Help Amiri & Ashtyn get the life-saving treatment they need

Update: A very unfortunate update. Kellie's youngest child is currently hospitalized in the children's ICU on a ventilator due to her contracting RSV while also having a rare birth condition called bilateral choanal atresia (that makes breathing more difficult). She needs funds even more urgently for gas and childcare assistance as she wants to be able to stay with her child in the ICU as much as possible. Please spread the word and donate if you can. And of course thank you for all the support so far.

My name is Shae. I'm raising funds for my friend Kellie and her son Amiri during a family emergency.

It is hard enough raising 4 kids on your own. But over the past few months, things have gone from hard to impossible. Kellie’s son Amiri was recently diagnosed as autistic, which has been challenging because he must go in for special supportive services multiple times per week. But on top of that and more urgently, he is experiencing seizures with no known cause. This requires Kellie to take him in for observation and testing for sometimes 12 hours at a time or more. The cost of gas—driving from Canton to Detroit and West Bloomfield daily while still taking care of her other three children—is unsustainable. Kellie literally has no time to work and receives no financial support from family. The goal is to address Amiri’s immediate crisis while also taking care of his needs around his appointments for supportive therapy for autism for the next two months and cover her rent:

Monthly Rent: $1672

Monthly Childcare for Amiri's infant sister while he gets supportive service (Kellie must be present without other children): $1120

Monthly overnight childcare for hospital stay/testing: $1200

Monthly Gas: $600

Total: $4,592 x 2 = $9,184
