Please help Tristan get the care he needs.

Three years ago, we expected to have a healthy baby boy. So when Tristan came out in respiratory distress and with 21 diagnoses, including two life-threatening diseases and an unknown genetic condition, our worlds were turned upside down. He spent months in the NICU before finally being able to come home, and he has fought so hard since just to live. He has had 7 surgeries, and we have nearly lost him 3 times, but he has been a little warrior through it all. Despite his daily struggles, he's truly a happy little boy, and his smile is infectious to everyone around him. He's learning so much, and fighting to get stronger, but he needs constant care to continue to do so.

All of Tristan’s specialists are still 5 hours away from us at Vanderbilt, and we take him every month or two so that he gets the care he needs and deserves. His doctor informed us that he wouldn’t likely survive Covid-19, so we had to strictly quarantine to not risk exposing him. In doing so, and to try to keep him safe, his daddy lost his job of 16 years. While he looks for a new job, we are asking for help getting Tristan the care he needs. No amount is too small and we are so appreciative of everything. We couldn’t thank you all enough for caring about our family and for all your thoughts and prayers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
