This go fund me was started on behalf of Laykins parents. Laykin is 4 months old and was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome in May of 2025 after 5 weeks in the PICU/NICU and several weeks of waiting for the results of genetic testing. Since then, Laykin has improved in many ways including his sleeping, breathing, eating and over all well being. In order for us to give Laykin the best possible chance at life ranging from fine motor skills and muscle strength we have him enrolled in early intervention, and speech therapy. We are also seeing every specialist we possibly can to make sure our little man has and gets the best of the best. With this comes a lot of out of pocket expenses especially with some of the Drs and Rett Clinic HQ being out of our insurances network. We have applied to several outside community help programs such as SSDI and having Laykin categorized as a special child through the VA. We were denied SSDI due to too much income, and we are still waiting on the VA to make their decision. We know that Rett Syndrome has affected a lot of people, primarily females, and we also want to make the male voice more heard as well. We have reached out to clinical trials in hopes that they have or will begin working towards including males in more of their studies. We appreciate everyone who has played a role in Laykins life so far and we hope to continue giving him everything we can and make his voice heard so others can flourish along side with him. Thank you
