Help Make Magic for Silas and His Family

Last summer we organized a GoFundMe for the family of a 2-year old little boy named Silas, who had a rare form of Leukemia. For Silas and his family, this last year included enduring two bone marrow transplants, the second after the first failed to take. The money donated helped them breathe a little easier during the time immediately following the first transplant and was greatly appreciated. 

This summer, we again come to you for help. There is news about Silas' condition that most people can't imagine having to hear nor bear the weight of.  Below is an excerpt from the update of June 25th to the Facebook page Silas' Mom, Kaitlyn, posts to: 

"...we have gotten the most dreaded call. We’ve exhausted most every option of treatment for Silas, and yet this disease is so aggressive it has continued to damage his lungs. He’s quickly losing his graft, and the one option to try and stop that has some seriously agonizing risks that we aren’t sure we could force anyone to endure. So what is a parent to do? How can our deepest desire of healing and a lasting and fulfilling life free of cancer for Silas be so different from reality and the statistics?

I don’t know what the rest of this journey will look like, or what we need. The well meaning “what can I do?” is simply hard to answer. I will say if you feel called to do anything, it will not go unappreciated."

For now, we will continue to cherish and soak up every ounce of the gift that is his little soul while we continue to fight."

One of the answers to "what can I do?" is to help Silas and his family enjoy every minute of the time they have while Silas still feels well enough. As Kaitlyn told me, they're trying to create every happy memory they can, in whatever time there is to create them.  The money you donate will be the magic that conjures those moments and memories Silas and his family will cherish forever.
