Join Warren's Fight Against Severe Allergies

Donation protected

Meet our endlessly resilient 7-year-old son, Warren. He is full of light, laughter, a kid who loves
baseball, being silly, and has unshakable courage in the face of things no child should ever have
to endure.
Warren doesn’t just live with food allergies. He lives with the constant, invisible threat. He is
severely allergic to milk and eggs. Even the tiniest exposure - something as simple as a crumb
or trace residue - could trigger anaphylaxis if consumed.
Before the age of 6, Warren had already experienced seven anaphylactic reactions. Seven
times we went to the ER terrified, seven times we handed him over to doctors, praying that
adrenaline and oxygen would bring him back to us.
The trauma of those moments has left lasting scars - not only on Warren, but on all of us.
Every meal is calculated. Every playdate is shadowed by fear. Every day he gets home from
school unscathed is a victory. Every holiday, every class party, every family gathering, every
school event becomes a risk we have to assess. His life is structured around avoidance,
emergency plans, and the ever-present fear of the next reaction. Every decision we make
as a family is dictated by what calculated risks we are willing to take.
For years, we've searched for other options and have prayed for hope after being told he will
not outgrow these allergies. Thankfully we’ve found a glimmer of hope at the Food Allergy
Institute in Southern California, a pioneering medical center that offers the Tolerance
Induction Program (TIP). This personalized, science-based treatment has helped thousands of children like Warren gradually and safely make their way to remission - turning fear into
freedom!
However, that hope comes with a steep cost.
Unfortunately only a small portion of it is covered by our insurance. With the cost of the treatments, the in-person appointments, the required testing, labs, and the cost travel needed to get him there - the financial burden is a heavy one.
The estimated cost of Warren’s full, multi-year treatment plan is $60,000 - an amount far
beyond what we can handle alone.
We are humbly asking for your help to give Warren the future he deserves - a future where he doesn’t have to sit at the allergy table alone, where he can go to birthday parties, eat school
lunch, be included in the class parties, travel, and live without fear that a single bite might take
everything away. Your donation will directly support Warren’s medical treatment and all related expenses, including travel and necessary testing, medications, etc.
If you are able to give, no matter the amount, please know it will make a real difference.
Every dollar brings us closer to giving Warren a chance to live freely, safely, and fully. And if you
can’t donate, we covet your continued prayers over our family, and sharing Warren’s story is
also an enormous gift.
Thank you for linking arms with us. Thank you for your prayers. And most of all, thank you for
believing in our son’s beautiful, bright future.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
With love and gratitude,
Matt & Maria
