Help Care for Felix with Tay-Sachs

We are heartbroken and devastated to find out that baby Felix has been diagnosed with a rare genetics disease called Tay-Sachs. There is no cure and he doesn't qualify for the current trial therapies. Life expectancy is 3-5 years of age.

 

You can learn more about this devastating disease and its manifestation here:

Kate Gomez, Felix's mom, will be a taking a leave of absence from teaching to take care of him. We want to rally around Felix's family to help as much as we can to offset the medical bills and anything else the family might need. Every bit counts and we appreciate your generosity.

 

The best way to donate is through Venmo, because Kate will receive 100% of your donations. Please send your donations to @KateGomez91. Or you can use GoFundMe if you don't have Venmo. GoFundMe keeps 2.9% of your donation for processing fee. Thank you for your kindness!

***Please be very careful if you choose to donate through Venmo. THERE IS A SCAMMER WHO HAS A SET UP AN ACCOUNT VERY SIMILAR TO KATE GOMEZ USING HER PICTURE WITH THE NAME "KATEGOMEZ91-DONATION ACCOUNT." That account is a scam and not associated with this fundraiser. Thank you!
