Stand with Ezra and Aaliyah in Crisis

Ezra Robinson is 2 years old and has been in the hospital for almost a week now. He had a tumor in his abdominal area that is possibly cancer. He will need extensive medical treatment to get well. His mother Aaliyah is having to take unpaid leave from her job to be at the hospital with him. Please help them if you can.

Here is a personal message from Aaliyah:

My 2-year-old son was taken to the ER last Thursday for a fever, lack of appetite, distended abdomen, and lethargy. After an x-ray and blood work, we found out he was anemic with critically low H&H levels, potentially requiring a blood transfusion. Further testing revealed a large mass in his stomach and fluid buildup. We're currently at Batson E. Blair Children's Hospital, where doctors confirmed the mass and plan to admit him for treatment. General surgery, hematology, and oncology will work together to determine the type of mass and develop a plan.

During the biopsy, they saw that the mass ruptured, and small tumors were found attached to his stomach, colon, and intestines. Unfortunately, his condition was confirmed to be malignant. After the biopsy, he experienced major bleeding, requiring emergency surgery where a large portion of the mass and affected intestines/colon were removed. He currently has a patch to drain excess fluid and is on a ventilator with an NG tube in the ICU.

He's scheduled for another surgery to reattach his intestines. We're still waiting on the pathology report for a diagnosis, after which they'll insert a chemo port for treatment. This unexpected journey will require me to take time off work, but my job only offers unpaid leave. I'm setting up this GoFundMe to seek financial assistance to care for my son and manage our bills.
