Nates Chemo Treatment

Donation protected
Nate is now 11 and is in need of his 3rd round of chemotherapy. We were  taken by surprise as he had been in remission of his auto immune blood disorder ITP. The initial round got Nate 1 year and the last treatment got him 2 years and we are ever hopeful this is his final round. The struggle is our insurance has changed and will cover 80% and we need to cover 20% of a 65k treatment. Any little bit will help and I thank you in advance, Look up ITP as it a strage blood disorder where his body kills his platelets confusing them for a virus. This is a very dangerous condition and certainly keeps him from living a normal kids life. Nate is chronic with this condition and has been involved in top research studies such as Harvard and they just can't figure his case out. While there isn't a know cure most people respond to rescue medicines such as steroids but Nate continues to stump the Doctors and is the subject of an annual conference. This treatment is much needed as his counts drop to a critical level and blood will rush from his nose, lips will bubble with bloody blisters, and unsitely bruises all over his body.

I realize there are many that don't even know Nate but he is the sweetest kid you'd ever meet. He offered to help with his birthday and holiday money. I figure if those that read this can just give 1 days coffee money and share this we will reach our goal. I ask at a minimum to share this as well.
