Financial assistance needed to obtain innovative new treatment abroad and restore some sort of life and hope for the future to the struggling child
At age 10, Ethan was struck with a rare and severe post viral illness, with a diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Dysautonomia. Four years later things have only gotten worse. He is racked with constant severe abdominal pain, constant nausea and digestive issues that make it impossible to sleep, he can barely go to school or enjoy any recreational activities.
He is isolated from friends and relegated to the home, save for medical appointments and medical emergencies that have required frequent hospital stays. The condition has baffled doctors in Canada
and there are no effective treatment protocols available here.
Ethan is suffering physically and emotionally. Recall the dark days of pandemic lockdowns and that gives you a sense of Ethan's lifestyle, only there's no end in sight currently.
We want to replace Ethan's feelings of hopelessness with a sense of optimism that his condition can be managed, and he can resume living his life.
Compassionate medical care is helping patients with Ethan’s condition in the USA, Italy and the UK.
The only hope for Ethan, with the severity of his symptoms, is IVIG infusions to help alleviate his suffering.
This family is struggling on many fronts. Ethan's care has taken a huge financial toll, including lost income. The funds needed to seek the treatment that will restore Ethan's health and life exceed what's
possible for one family's means.
It takes a village
We're hoping members of the community would be kind enough to pitch in a small amount to help this family fund Ethan's care.
As you can imagine, the pain of being robbed of your childhood is a heavy one to bear - for Ethan and his parents.
Thank you for listening to Ethan's story. We're very grateful for any support. Thanks. ��
