Support Gunner's Journey to Philadelphia

Donation protected

Long story short our son was diagnosed at 5 months old with a tumor behind his eye he has had multiple surgeries as Dr's thought it would help Gunners situation but none have some even working against him. He has been sedated 7 times I'm his short life and still no one can give us any type of diagnosis or answer to what the mass is or consists of. He has seen 10 different ophthalmologist and occularplastic surgeons none of which have been able to help so they send us to the next one. He has a orbital tumor of some kind but we have no idea what it is or how bad it will get or if it can turn dangerous at any time. We have been told its inoperable due to being wrapped into his major nerves and eye muscles .Not knowing os so hard it's been 1 year of praying and hoping to get good news. We are praying this will be our last stop as this is what this surgeon does she specifically specializes in orbital tumors


WE NEED YOUR HELP YALL.


We were going to go to Memphis Tennessee to see someone at the Hamilton eye Institute but after reading the reviews and we have already been through SO much we decided its not the best place to go for our baby boy. I did a ton of more research and found this amazing doctor who specializes in Gunners type of tumor. But here's the catch she is in Philadelphia Pennsylvania almost 18 hours away but I called and she is willing to see Gunner to see if she can help we know this is alot and a major trip but no one can give us any answers and the kansas city dr told us he agreed and if it was his son he would be going and he would go out of state as well. This all being said we need help to make this happen the gofund me we have already set up was set up when we first got told Gunner had a tumor at 5 months old so all but 650 of that money has been used for the 8 trips back and forth to st louis it was 500 to 700 each trip. We need to raise enough money for a rental car for a week, hotels there and back as well as food and gas and could use help with the medical bill part as it may be out of pocket if insurance doesnt cover it since its out of state. We aren't the family to ask for much but we are trying to take care of our baby along with our 5 year old as well. If you can help we would appreciate anything or if you have some items to donate for a silent auction but prayers are what does amazing things as well. We are trying to get this appointment scheduled asap as we wanna go before weather starts getting bad. If you have other ideas for us please share and send me a pm.


Yes I've tried to get in with shriners, st.judes, they have turned us down as Gunner hasnt been diagnosed with a cancer he has no diagnosis at all because no one knows what it is.


also we are unsure insurance will be covered out of state
