Help Hendrix and Family Through Eye Cancer Battle

Donation protected
Our dear friend's young son Hendrix was just diagnosed with an incredibly rare eye cancer of his right eye called retinoblastoma. He is only 2 years old.

In just the last 2 weeks, Hendrix's parents, Dewayne and Melissa have had to encounter the unimaginable - a rare medical diagnosis, including the surgical removal of Hendrix's right eye, just today March 20, 2025. We all know that having despite having health insurance, it often comes with unexpected medical bills, uncovered surprise expenses, insurance denials, and prior authorizations. On top of that, they have had to travel from their home in Austin, TX to seek specialty care in Houston, TX leading them to have to take time off from work.

Dewayne and Melissa are family to us. Prince and I wanted to start this because we get it. We all need help sometimes and I am thankful that Dewayne has allowed us to help and for that we are honored. We know that the last thing they need is the financial stressors of a medical diagnosis, hospital bills, and so on.

We want them to spend this time with clarity of mind and spirit so that they can be present with Hendrix and with each other in this healing journey.
