Help Beckham Get the Medical Care He Needs
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Brittany and I am Beckham’s mom as well as a single parent! When I was 27 weeks pregnant with Beckham I was in a bad car accident that left me with my pelvis fractured in 2 places, my sacrum fractured as well as detached from my spine, my sternum fractured, and 2 of my toes fractured. Beckham turned head down in the accident and I was having contractions. Our doctors were fully prepared for Beckham to be born and had all the necessary equipment outside of my ICU room just in case. Thankfully they were able to stop the contractions and keep Beckham cooking until our elective c-section at 39 weeks! Beckham now suffers from cerebral palsy which we believe to be neurological and related to the accident. We had genetic testing done and there were no concerns that his condition was related to any of the genes that were checked. His neurologist is not ready to rule out genetic just yet though even though there were no concerns with his genetic testing. We are trying to get a second medical opinion and unfortunately with our insurance there are no other in network options in St. Louis that can provide this for us. We are looking into traveling to Shriners in Chicago as the Shriners in St. Louis does not have a neurology department. We have appoints set for 10/22/24 to meet with a few of their doctors. I am trying my best to get Beckham the help he needs and we could use your help! Thank you so much for reading our story and for considering donation to his cause!
