My son is 4 years old… and he has never eaten.

Not a meal.

Not a snack.

Not even a bite like most children.

He goes to bed hungry.

He wakes up uncomfortable and doesn’t understand why.

He feels the exhaustion in his body… but he doesn’t know what’s causing it.

He doesn’t understand hunger —

he just lives in it.

While other parents worry about picky eating…

I am fighting for my child to learn how to eat at all.

No birthday cake.

No sitting down for meals.

No “just try it.”

Just a constant cycle of discomfort, confusion, and a body that isn’t getting what it needs.

We finally found a specialized feeding program that can help him —

a real chance for him to learn how to eat safely, to nourish his body, and to experience a normal life.

But it’s out of network.

Insurance will not cover it.

We are being asked to pay:

• $7,000 upfront just to start

• $2,750 per week

• Nearly $30,000 out of pocket

It’s overwhelming… and time matters.

Every night he goes to sleep hungry is another reminder that we can’t wait.

Every morning he wakes up uncomfortable, not understanding what his body is trying to tell him… it breaks my heart all over again.

As a parent, there is nothing harder than knowing exactly what your child needs… and not being able to reach it on your own.

I’m not asking for anything extra.

I just want my child to eat.

To feel full.

To have energy.

To grow, thrive, and just be a kid.

If you can donate, even a small amount, it truly means everything to us.

If you can’t, sharing this could help us reach someone who can.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me fight for my son a family meal at the table.
