HELP ELI SMILE AGAIN!

Hi, my name is Jose Gomez and I'm fundraising for my little cousin Eli J Bardales.

This little guy is only 9 years old and was born with a rare condition known as Treacherd Collins Syndrome (TCS). Babies who have it are born with deformed ears, eyelids, cheek bones, and jawbones. There is no cure, but surgery can make a big difference. So far Eli has had 12 surgeries; and several more are expected.

The one thing Eli dreams of is to one day look normal, with 2 ears, regular size jaw, eat normal, not have so many surgery’s. He always talks about having friends that don't make fun of him because of his looks. Its tough because his message is really simple, he just wants to be treated like a normal kid. Due to distance, I haven't really been able to get a chance to see Eli or have him spend any time with his cousins/family here in Florida.

The goal is to raise funds to help Eli and his family with the surgery's coming up and support him through these painful times. We want to be able to take him somewhere fun where we can see him smile just like the normal kid he is.

Eli loves superheroes, drawing and playing sports. Specifically he likes to play baseball and soccer.
