Help Isaac help a child start a Journey to Food Freedom!

My name is Isaac Lipton, I'm 12 years old and I have life-threatening tree nut allergies including walnut, cashew, pistachio, pecan, brazil nut and hazelnut. I also have a sensitivity to shellfish. I am trying to help another child participate in Food Allergy Institute Journey to Food Freedom as I am fortunate to be able too.

I discovered my allergies at 18 months and when my friends go out for food and ice cream, I am very limited in what I can have and sometimes feel left out.

I am extremely fortunate to have found the Food Allergy Institiute. Using individualized treatment plans and biosimilar food proteins, FAI (https://foodallergyinstitute.com) helps me build tolerance before I introduce anaphylactic allergens. That means I have to eat certain foods every day to prepare my body for when I introduce my anaphylactic allergens - it's a lot of work, but worth it! I also to get to travel to California every 3 months which is expensive, but I would also say fun. I have passed hazelnut, mollusks, lobster already and am part way through pistachio and pecan(passed cross contamination). I have an about a year left. Once I go through the program successfully, I can achieve Food Freedom and eat anything I want, including the nuts I am allergic too!! Wow - I can't wait!!!

This has been a life changing experience for me and I cannot be more grateful for the program. For my bar mitzvah project, I would like to raise money to help people who are less fortunate than me start the program and get the same opportunities as me.

If I raise $5,100, it will pay for a child to enter the program and work toward Food Freedom. Can you please help me achieve my goal? Any amount will help and we together, can help another child start this amazing program. Thanks in advance - to food freedom and beyond!
