Help Me Save My Uncle Eddie’s Life

Donation protected
Hey everyone, my name is Aidan, and I’m reaching out for help as my family and I fight to save my uncle Eddie’s life.

In 2022, Eddie was diagnosed with MDS, a rare blood disease—especially for someone his age. From the start we knew this disease would eventually turn into leukemia, but thanks to a rigorous medication regimen, progression was slowed. Unfortunately, in early 2024, Eddie started experiencing symptoms, and tests confirmed our worst fear—his MDS had progressed to leukemia.

Since then, Eddie has been through countless rounds of chemotherapy—five different kinds, to be exact. But none of them have worked the way we had hoped. Now, our last and best option is a bone marrow/stem cell transplant. And here’s the good news: I’M A MATCH!

I didn’t think twice about this. Uncle Eddie has been more than just my uncle—he’s been a mentor, a friend, and someone I’ve looked up to my entire life. If this is what it takes to save him, I’m all in.

On behalf of Eddie and Becki’s friends and family, there are no words to express our gratitude for Aidan’s decision.

The transplant will take place in April in Philadelphia. Aidan currently lives in Florida where he attends school. Throughout the month of March, he’ll be traveling back and forth multiple times for testing, procedures, and ultimately the transplant.

This process isn’t easy on either him or Eddie—physically, emotionally, or financially. This is where we need your help. Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward covering Aidan’s travel expenses to ensure Eddie gets the life-saving treatment he needs.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Every share helps spread the word.

Thank you all for your love and support.
It takes a village.

xoxo
