Hi, my name is Kassandra and I am starting this fundraiser for my brother Kalen “Cotton” Siddens and his boy Eli! Eli just turned 7 years old and was born with fluid on his brain and also was diagnosed with cerebral palsy… if you know Cotton, you know since he was like 10 years old he’s the hardest worker and for the past 7 years everything he has done has been for this lil boy and to give him every best opportunity he can including paying for special therapy out of pocket! On Tuesday Jan 23th Eli will have SDR surgery at Children’s Hospital in St Louis and will have to stay for 5 days and then will have to have physical therapy 5 days a week at Children’s Mercy in KC for 3 months!!! One thing Cotton is known for 2nd to being a great dad, is being a John Deere mechanic and he just recently bought his own service truck and went out on his own so he will be trying to juggle all these appointments along with keeping up with his work load and he will do it all seamlessly with a smile on his face but I would just like to help lighten the load a lil! I also know I’ll probably get in trouble for doing this! If you can’t help financially, the power of prayer is the most important thing! Pray for Eli’s surgeon, doctors, therapists, good weather for safe travels, etc!!!
