Help Freddie and his family in this time of need

Donation protected
Hello my name is Jennifer I'm hear to tell u about my nephew Freddie a week ago he was a strong healthy 14 year old young man who loves sports football videos games being outdoors hanging with his siblings and cousins he is a big hearted smart lovable kid he adores his puppy nina and his cat barry allen he is very close with his mom my little sister brittany who has 2 other kids as well as fred he has a very special bond with his mammo and papa less than a week ago he walked into the emergency room a healthy happy young man with his entire life ahead of him with what we all thought was nothing more than a bruised hip and pulled muscle from basketball Monday morning Freddies grandparents rushed him to the emergency room where his mom and dad and siblings and aunts and uncles and grandparents met because very quickly out of nowhere and with no explanation we were told that things were getting bad very quickly and that we all needed to gather around him and hug him goodbye and wish safe travels as he was taken from the ICU and being life-flighted to Portland Maine to the Barbara Bush children's hospital floor where a very skilled positive well-trained medical team was put together to try and save Freddie's life Freddie is now septic and complete Renal Organ failure shutdown he has MRSA e coli and staph infections blood clots on his lungs his body is retaining fluid there's also an infected blood clot in his hip because of the excess fluid and Freddie's body the IVs and medication being pumped into Freddie aren't fully working because they are seeping out through his body Freddie is on a ventilator and sedated for his own safety so he can't pull out his cords and IVs Freddie is a fighter and he is already made it through a couple very serious procedures to put a central line in and his ventilator he's made it through one round of dialysis where his kidneys and liver are shutting down he still has a very high Fighting Chance however Freddie is no where near out of the woods by any means and because of the severity and complications of Freddie's medical problems the amount of time that Freddie will be in the hospital trying to save his life is going to be a minimum of a month or more so Freddie's mother has had to take off time from work to go down in Portland where she has stayed right by Freddie side the entire time praying for Freddie the amount of fear and stress on my sister Brittany is great I can't imagine but she is a strong woman we also know our beloved father Freddies grandfather who passed away 2 years ago is up in heaven watching over him we have God on our side and a entire group of prayer warriors praying for Freddie on a 24/7 basis we have very strong hope and belief that Freddie will make a full recovery however right now Freddie is very very sick we don't know how long it will be before Freddie is out of the woods or what his poor little body will endure between now and then however we have high hopes and God on our side and Freddie is a fighter if anyone would be able to send donations to help my sister and her fiance and Freddie's older brother and grandmother who are staying down there 24/7 with food and other necessities that they're not able to do and not have to worry about bills and their home back in Bangor then it would be much appreciated and a huge stress reliever and weight off my sister's shoulders so that she can focus solely on being there for her son and holding his hand while he's in this scary State and trying to get his health back up my sister was also told that the longer Freddie is in the state the longer his recovery will be when he eventually is out of the woods that there's a good chance that because of all the complications in the severity of what happened to Freddie and what is still happening to Freddie and how quickly it happened that Freddies recovery may last for many months or longer he may have to learn how to walk and use his arms again and possibly start over from scratch so the reality of my sister getting back to work anytime soon or even being able to go back to the job she currently holds is not a very high percentage so any help that we can give her as a community will take the stress of not being able to pay bills and not being able to eat and be able to afford basic necessities while she's down there with Freddie in the hospital would be a huge amazing relife to her already stressed anxious heart and mind if you can't donate money that's absolutely fine and if people just want to send prayers or good vibes that's also very much appreciated every prayer helps Freddie as we have already seen him get thru procedures the Drs said he had very little chance of making it thru we know freds a fighter and anyone that wants to send anything to my sister or Freddie to help or even kind words or cards can be sent to the Barbara Bush children's hospital in Portland to Fred in care of Britney Cushman I thank everyone in advance for everything being done for Freddie I thank the medical team that is working around the clock to save Freddies life and especially thank God for all the blessings and healing he's already done in Freddie's body and hopefully continues to do until Freddie is back home being the happy healthy vibrant young man that he was a week ago thank you all for being there for my sister and keeping her in your prayers and continue to keep Freddie and his mother and our whole family in your prayers and thank you in advance for any donations to help my sister and family in this time of need
