I’ve never been one to ask for help, and anyone that knows me will tell you that, but they would also tell you that i’d always be the first to help. Given the circumstances we are facing, I’m reaching out for my son Easton.

For the people that don’t know him, he’s the bravest and most amazing child. Easton was born with mild/severe cerebral palsy and can’t communicate like we do, can’t sit up on his own, and requires a feeding tube to eat. If you’ve ever met him,  you wouldn’t ever know of his daily struggles based solely on the huge smile he carries on his face, it’s almost as big as his heart... almost.

A few months after hurricane Florence ransacked Wilmington we decided to take a break from rebuilding and visit my Parents in Michigan for Thanksgiving in 2018. Easton loves his grandparents, and is only able to see them a few times a year at most so the 17 hour drive and time spent with family instead of putting the pieces back together after the storm was worth it.  Shortly after arriving in Cadillac, Easton had a severe seizure which landed us in the hospital for nearly 2 weeks. It certainly wasn’t the thanksgiving we were hoping for..but we were thankful that Easton recovered and able to make it home.


Shortly after our stay in Michigan the medical bills started showing up totaling over $100,000.  Prior to traveling, we were unaware that Easton’s North Carolina Medical Disablity was not honored in Michigan. After being blindsided by such a tremendous expense and after days of arguing and pleading our case (for over a year)— we were finally rejected for any kind of coverage. These medical bills have placed a tremendous weight on our shoulders and have inevitably made things extremely difficult for us— as we are still in the process of repairing and recovering from the  economic strain that hurricane Florence left us in.


Easton just celebrated his 5th birthday, if anyone can find it in their heart to help with his medical bills, it would be the most amazing Birthday gift for him. Anything helps, thank you.

Sincerely,

Proud father of my little super hero.
