Support Noah's Fight in Intensive Care

Hello friends, family and compassionate strangers,

We are writing today on behalf of our dear friends, the Garouis, and their increasing and obscene medical bills.

Noah's Care Journey

Sweet Noah is a 17 year old special needs child who is diagnosed with Down Syndrome, autism, Lennox Gastaut Syndrome, and mitochondrial disease. He has a limited life expectancy, and lives in the care of his mother, Deb, and sister, Noor. Since November 26th, he has been in the Covenant Children's Hospital (Lubbock, TX), in the pediatric intensive care unit battling pneumonia.

Noah and his family have spent Thanksgiving, Noah's birthday (Dec 10th), Christmas, and New Year’s in the PICU as he battled his way through multiple intubations, surgery, and mechanical ventilation. However, after 36 days and a major life-changing surgery, Noah is still on a ventilator struggling with oxygen levels, and trying to get well enough to go home. It has been a slow process as his lungs continue to improve and collapse in a critical care rollercoaster.

Noah's mom, a teacher, remains bedside with him, and now faces major medical bills, and financial strain. Expecting to return to work in January, Deb has learned that Noah needs to be moved to a larger hospital for higher levels of care five hours away.

Noah is facing at least another month of hospitalization and rehab away from home, then will need medical supplies and machinery at home. In addition to the expenses associated with Noah's care in the hospital, there will be further costs related to medical supplies and equipment needed for his recovery once he is discharged. This is a daunting challenge for a family already facing so much uncertainty.

We kindly ask for your support during this difficult time. If you are able to contribute, any amount would make a significant difference in helping Noah and his family cover medical expenses and support his ongoing care. Your generosity will not only provide some financial relief but also serve as a reminder that they are not alone in this journey. If you are unable to contribute financially, please share Noah’s story to help advocate for children like Noah and their families.

Thank you for taking the time to read about Noah's journey. Your support, in any form, is deeply appreciated and can make a world of difference for Noah and his family.
