With Sadness in our hearts and never expecting to have to activate this Gofund and ask for help one more time at this time we ask you all for prayers and support for our Sam. Unfortunately after the Brian tumor Sam had a stage that he was stable. Now when we tough we were stable and we were happy for quite some time the diagnosis changed this time with 3 Brain stem stroke that the first one affected him on July 2025 with face paralysis and unable to feel hot or cold the second in November 2025 that hit with some hemorrhage causing weakening symptoms and a new one now in January 20th 2026 to be the worst affecting his eyes, unable to walk on his own, lost of mobility’s and walking coordination also affecting his swallowing and being feed by a feeding tube to prevent aspiration as he is unable to eat on his own currently. As you all know Sam was so happy to had overcome the high grade glioma of the left basal ganglia and thalamus recovering after so much extensive treatments and being stable. As of today and with the 3 times of this strokes hitting the Brian stem we still have no conclusive answers of what is causing it lots of testing being done and other hospitals second opinions running in place. More questions than answers as the brain stem is a very sensitive organ. We never thought Sam will have to be going thru this as he had go thru so much in this a past couple years. Sam will be also need a wheelchair devices and supporting equipment to accommodate his life style. Praying for another miracle and hopefully he can recover one more time from this terrible desease. We also have home a little one that’s autistic and will need lots of care as I have to be back and forth on my return home in which we are also saddened by the situation as he will need also care while I’m in appointments with Sam. As a mom my heart is chatter broken. Sam won’t leave the hospital to go home and he will be going to a rehabilitation hospital in NY. As he will need extensive rehabilitation. We pray and hope this work as the brain stem is a very sensitive organ that doctors won’t even risk to biopsy or touch. Hopefully we can find the answers of what is happening that the brain stem is inflamed causing this stroke affecting and causing all this neurological damages on Sam.
I know you all love my Sam and, I ask everyone to please pray. Prayers are always heard from the one above and our faith will continue strong.
Thank you all in advance!
Sam is a kid that's always been full of life and happiness, but so much has changed for him in the blink of an eye. He's already lost mobility on his right side. I'm doing this fundraiser because any gift will be helpful to them for travel expenses and any other expenses, since the parents will not be working at the moment. I thank everyone in advance for your help but most of all, keep him in your prayers as this is going to be a hard and long road for the whole family.
