Help Family care for Two Boys with Rare Genetic Disorder

Donation protected
Hi everyone,
My name is Hailey Brittain, and I have the honor of being both a family friend and volunteer caregiver for an extraordinary family facing unimaginable challenges. They are loving, devoted parents to three incredible children—two boys who have both been diagnosed with IQSEC2, an ultra-rare genetic disorder, and a wonderful daughter who is neurotypical.

What is IQSEC2?

IQSEC2 is a devastating disorder that affects brain development, causing severe intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, mobility challenges, and profound developmental delays. Both boys are wheelchair-dependent and require around-the-clock medical care, therapy, and specialized equipment just to navigate daily life.

Why They Need Our Help

This family has poured their hearts, souls, and finances into ensuring their boys get the best care possible while also providing love, stability, and support for their daughter, who adores her brothers and brings so much joy to their lives. One of their most pressing financial needs is paying off their wheelchair-accessible Sprinter van—their only means of safely transporting their sons to medical appointments and the simple outings that bring them joy.

Their home is filled with essential medical equipment—doubled to meet the needs of both boys. Currently, their youngest son’s bedroom is in the basement, and while they can still carry him upstairs, this will soon become unmanageable. Within the next two to three years, they will need a new home that accommodates the boys’ growing medical and accessibility needs.

How You Can Make a Difference

I am asking on behalf of this wonderful family for your kindness and generosity to help lighten their financial load so they can focus on what truly matters: loving and caring for their sons and giving their daughter the support and attention she deserves.

Your support will go directly toward:
Paying off the Sprinter van will ensure they can safely transport their boys. Once it’s paid off, they can begin saving for a down payment on a home that meets their family’s growing accessibility needs.

Every Contribution Helps

No amount is too small—every donation is a step toward making life easier for this incredible family. If you aren’t in a position to give, please consider sharing their story to help us reach more people who can make a difference. I have seen firsthand the love, dedication, and resilience of this family, and I know they would never ask for this help themselves. That’s why I am reaching out on their behalf—because I know that, with the support of a compassionate community, we can lift some of their burdens and give their boys the best possible life while ensuring their daughter continues to thrive. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support!

With gratitude,

Hailey Brittain
