Support for My Son’s ICU Stay & 18th Birthday

Donation protected
My son has a rare blood disorder called Evans syndrome, and he has been in the ICU at Boston Children's Hospital for two weeks now. I have been by his side every day, unable to work, and the stress of watching him fight for his health has been overwhelming. Because I am here with him, I haven't been able to earn any income, and now I am struggling to pay my bills. To make things even harder, my car is in the shop and I don't have the money to fix it, which makes everything feel even more impossible.

The funds from this fundraiser will help me cover my bills, car payment, car insurance, rent, and make sure my cats have food while I am focused on my son's care. Every little bit will help me keep our home stable and make sure I can be there for my son without worrying about losing everything else.

My son is turning 18 on the 28th of this month. It breaks my heart that, because we are here in the hospital, I can't give him anything for his birthday. I am asking for any support, big or small, to help us through this incredibly difficult time. Thank you so much for reading our story and for any help you can give.
