Help Kayla Get King the Care He Needs

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Kayla Black. I’m a single mom of 2 boys, and normally we get by and do okay, but recently, starting 2 weeks ago, my oldest (King), who is 7 years old, started having seizures. I have taken him to both hospitals in my town and to a neurologist. He did an EEG yesterday, which triggered a bad reaction in his left eye and his whole left side of his body. I initially assumed it was hard on him having those tests done. We finished at 3:30 pm, and he slept all evening and night until this morning. He woke me up in extreme pain; he couldn’t hold his eye open nor open either eye without pain. He kept his eyes covered all day, and I had to carry him into the hospital. Needless to say, the hospitals in my area were no help. Therefore, I have to travel to Charleston Children’s Hospital. I really hate to put our business out on social media, and I understand the holidays are coming up, but I really need help. I have no one to ask to drive us nor help financially. Christmas is two days away, and I’m broke with bills and Christmas; I just don’t have it. I heard about the Ronald McDonald program where they help you, but I don’t know how to get in touch with them, and I’m pretty sure that’s just for overnight sleeping. So if anyone has any information, please contact me. I have no idea what programs or what I can do in this situation, so a friend recommended I make a GoFundMe for travel expenses, which from my house to the hospital in Charleston is an hour and a half. So my math would assume in gas it would take maybe $50 to fill up, and we should make it there and back. However, I need to feed my kids, and I’m not sure how long we will be there. This is all new to me. Before this, I had a healthy, normal little boy, and now he is unbalanced, having testing done on his brain every other day. I’ve heard the word cancer too many times the past few days, and I’m praying to God it is not! I just need clarity on my son’s condition, and I’m not getting it from my local hospitals. They all agreed it’s not normal, and they don’t know what is causing his seizures, confusion, or sudden pain on his left side. Being a mom, watching your child snuggled up in a ball crying to you, and you don’t know how to help or fix it is horrible. I’m just doing my best to get him the care he needs, and I’ve accepted I need the help. I tried my best to do it alone, and I just can’t. I’m only one person, and financially I don’t have it, and I have another child that needs me. So I would greatly appreciate prayers and information that would help us. Literally, anything would help me. I’ve never been in this situation, and I don’t know where to start. So please, if you can’t donate, I understand, but share it so maybe someone else can! It’s so embarrassing to have to ask for help, but my hands are tied, and it’s for my son. For my kids, I’d do anything for them. So again, thank you for taking the time to read this, and just keep us in your prayers, please. I appreciate it so much more than y’all know!
