This Go Fund Me page is being launched to help a great friend of 20 years. Due to this terrible misfortune, Surj and Monique will have to spend day in and day out of a hospital with their gorgeous 18 month young son Maddox and will not be able to work at this time. All that we ask is that you give ANYTHING. I mean ANYTHING so that we can reach the $50,000 goal. There is nothing that can change what is happening but strength, positivity, and prayer for little Maddox, but peace of mind knowing the bills can be paid while going through this will definately be a weight off of their shoulders. So PLEASE to all my followers, as you would want done for your friend or family, I ask that you donate what you can afford and please don't forget to repost to your friends and followers. I would really appreciate and remember it. Please read Surj and Monique's message below.
To Our Friends and Family,
We apologize for not being reachable recently, but the past few weeks have been the most trying of our lives as we received devastating, life-changing news about our sweet boy.
Maddox had woken up with a bad cough and runny nose and was walking with a limp so we took him to his pediatrician, who decided to run a few tests.
The next afternoon we received a call saying we needed to get to the emergency room immediately to have his blood tested because he was anemic. Sadly, we found out our 18 month old prince was diagnosed with Leukemia, which is a cancer of the blood. Needless to say, we were shocked and broken to the core.
Maddox was immediately admitted into the hospitals Oncology ward where over the next 48 hours he would receive a bone marrow procedure and blood transfusion.
Day 3: (considered DAY 0) Surgical port implanted, a spinal tap, which thankfully was negative and 1st chemotherapy medication in his spine regardless the negative result for precaution.
Day 4: (DAY 1 of Chemo) + a second blood transfusion due to
his blood levels being dangerously low.
We are now in the hospital with Maddox for 14th day and officially on DAY 10 of chemotherapy and Maddox is holding up ... he is a fighter and maintaining his happy persona even though the Chemo is breaking his little body down.
We had initially decided to keep this news private but these next 3 weeks are critical to his ability to make it through this, so we ask all our friends and family to PLEASE keep Maddox in your prayers and send us your positive energy and thoughts. We can't take away the pain and suffering he will go through over the next few days, weeks and years but we can show him all the love and confidence he needs to get through this horrific and unjust ordeal.
We have been staying with Maddox every day and night at the hospital and I am sorry to say he cannot receive any gifts, cards or any visitors because they have him in isolation due to his immune system being dangerously low and his high risk of infection.
Surj has been a rock for Maddox and I, keeping us strong as we can be. We need our little angel with us forever. We appreciate all your love and support. We ask for the next few weeks to hold off on any calls or texts. We will try to post updates as often as we can. Thank you and God Bless Maddox and all the other children suffering in this world. I have learned in a horrible way just how fragile life is and why we must be thankful for every moment. Every moment with the ones we love is precious.
Heartbroken but Hopeful,
Surj and Monique
