Hello everyone,

My name is Amy and I’m starting a GoFund me for a Friend/sister in Faith for her 3 year old son Atlas and their family.

Anything you can contribute to help easy the financial burden would help tremendously!

“Atlas is a 3 year old with the feeding mentality of an infant. We’re in the CHOP intensive day feeding program to hopefully get him eating purées. He currently is fully g tube fed and doesn’t even know what hunger is. He got his gtube when he was 18 months old. He has a genetic condition that is very rare that is the cause of his feeding issues. It’s called KDM3B and is about 1 in million. He is the happiest little boy with the biggest smile you will ever meet. Unless you meet him right after nap time. Lol. He loves paw patrol and peppa pig and his stuffies. We can’t go anywhere without his babies boopy snail and Nemo. They come with the package to every appointment. Atlas has a long road ahead of him as he is a 3 year old with the mentality of one, but is also figuring out how to eat and swallow like a 6 month old at the same time. He is in daycare and sees all his friends eating and doesn’t understand why he can’t. We also have to watch him so he doesn’t choke on anything because he is curious about food. He loves pizza and loves to lick it when we have it! Atlas’s day feeding program was supposed to be 4 weeks be we got extended to 5 because his progress was very slow but steady and they see the potential in him. It’s like moving a boulder and seeing some progress they told me.

Mom the sole bread winner had to take off work to be with atlas for the 5 weeks so no pay. Dad is currently In his second year of college so can’t be with us during the program which is emotionally taxing and hard for him as he wants to be there with us also. And only works weekends because of school. Atlas is the strongest most happiest caring kid a lot of people have ever met and we appreciate anything from anyone at all! We know God is with us this whole time and has us in the palms of his hands at all times!

***We’re also staying at the Ronald mconald house of southern nj and if anyone would like to donate to them that would be amazing. It’s the best gift we’ve been given out of this whole trip that’s been amazing.”
