Anderson Eaves-Price: The Boy. The Myth. The Legend.

This kid has faced more challenges in his first 5 years than most people will face in a lifetime.

Born at 32 weeks, weighing less than 4 lbs.

Diagnosed with a prenatal stroke, Down Syndrome, a heart defect, cerebral palsy, schizencephaly, and epilepsy.

Has survived brain surgery, open-heart surgery, and abdominal surgery (with another planned in the next few weeks!).

Travels an hour away each week to speech, occupational, and physical therapy.

Uses a wheelchair to access the world.

And with all that, he still finds so much joy and connection with the people around him.

Anderson's strength is undeniable, but it is also necessary. He has no other choice: this world just isn't made for a kid like him.

To get the best medical care, Anderson and his family travel to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota several times a year.

For their upcoming trip, they are juggling even more specialists and appointments in hopes that Anderson could have his upcoming abdominal surgery done at Mayo so that he doesn't have to go under anesthesia twice.

As you can imagine, all of this medical care costs money. The travel alone is expensive. Now add in copays, prescriptions, MRIs, CT scans, blood draws, and medical equipment. Anderson is growing, so he needs a new wheelchair that fits him better.

There are a lot of fights that Anderson faces that we can't do much about: We can't go to physical therapy for him or prevent him from having to have tests or scans.

But what we CAN do is help provide the funds so he has access to the best care and the best equipment.

Please let this little dude know how loved he is by helping him get the resources he needs to thrive! All donations will go directly to Anderson's parents, Rebecca and Parker.
