Update from Dianne & Tim - February 2026:
As we’ve shared before with our social media family and Grayson’s fan base, Grayson has been battling pneumonia off and on for over a year now. Over the past year, we have tried numerous and extensive interventions to heal his lungs. None of these interventions have helped as we hoped, so our plan now is to provide comfort to Grayson through what comes next. His hospice team says that given the past six months in addition to the current continuous need for oxygen, that our time is most likely extremely limited. Grayson continues to surprise us, so the total amount of time is completely up to him and he is still very much himself in personality and sass. We are inviting his family, friends and fans to visit during his “office hours” (we will share these details soon) and have set up a Meal Train for those wishing to support him and us in this time. Please understand that this is a very difficult time for us. We will share details of his office hours and any following details through our CaringBridge site. It does require your email to access, but can be viewed after registration by anyone wishing to continue to follow his journey. Thank you for loving Grayson and our family!

Welcome to Team Grayson! This GoFundMe site was set up in 2016 during one of Grayson's more challenging surgeries, as a way to support the family during their time off of work with gas and food cards, as well as funds to help them provide for Grayson's therapy, education, and development needs.
The family has been overwhelmed by the desire of their community to support them and Grayson, and they are so thankful for every single message of love and every donation. Grayson's struggles continue, but so does his strength. He has made more friends and given more hugs in his 7.5 years, than most have in a lifetime. He greets you with his heart and offers a hug, making you a friend for life. Some of his besties include NC State University's Ms. Wuf and the one and only Mickey Mouse!
Thank you for visiting and to learn more about this special boy!
