Hey everyone! As some of you may know, Jess and I are longtime Best Friends from High School, and I am a proud Aunt to Mason. We live far away from each other now, but enjoy our visits , FaceTime chats, and phone conversations. I would love to help them as much as possible.

Mason is a brave 9-year-old boy preparing to undergo his second major spinal cord surgery on September 22nd, 2025, at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton. The procedure will take between 6–12 hours, followed by a hospital stay of several days, and then 4–6 weeks of recovery at home with his mom as his caregiver. Since the hospital is a 3-hour drive from their home, Mason’s family will face significant travel, parking, and time-off-work expenses while focusing on his care and recovery. We are reaching out to support Mason and his family during this difficult time so they can focus fully on his healing without the added burden of financial stress. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward easing these costs and helping Mason’s journey to recovery.

On behalf of Jess, Dave, Mason, and I, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, prayers, and support during this difficult time. Mason is such a strong little fighter, and knowing we have a community behind him makes this journey a little easier.
