Save baby Israel’s life

My name is Israel, and I was born prematurely with stage 3 liver cancer. My mom is a single mother of two. While my sister is at school, my mom spends her days caring for me in the hospital. We know we will get through this challenging period of our lives, but we really need your help. 

I was born a micro-preemie at 24 weeks weighing 1.5 pounds, with many complications. I have been fighting for my life since the day I was born. I am 12 months old and still suffer from so many illnesses.

I have endured heart problem PDA, chronic lung disease, brain problems from seizures, cystic lungs, dysuria, dysplasia, hypoxia and hypercapnia, ROP, lung failure, liver mass, and not tolerating feeds/formula, oxygen dependent, chemotherapy, UTI issues, etc.

I depend on many specialties like gastrointestinal, NICU development, nutritionist, feeding therapy, OT, PT, and heart & pulse monitor. I also have difficulty gaining weight and growing. I have a lot of episodes in which my mom needs to be very close to me, and I depend on her.

Doctors and PT have told me that I need special equipment so one day I can have a normal life like any other child. This equipment will help me do basic activities, like sitting, helping with my back support, standing and walking. The problem for my mom is that she can´t afford it.

Please help my mom and me by donating to our fundraising. We will use this money to buy the equipment required, pay for expenses, my needs, utilities, diapers, food and clothing. 

Thank you so much for your good heart and for helping me live.
