Help Aaron get surgery

Donation protected
Hi everyone, I am fundraising money for my 6 year old nephew Aaron. He suffers from a rare disorder called called Koolen-de Vries (KdVS). This disorder is characterized by congenital malformations, developmental delay / intellectual disability, neonatal/childhood hypotonia, epilepsy, dysmorphisms, and behavioral features. This life altering procedure consists of Hip surgery in order to remove a dysplasia that was recently identified there. A dysplasia is the presence of cells of an abnormal type within a tissue, which may signify a stage preceding the development of cancer. I am making this account to assist my sister with the cost of it as well as transportation fares to get to and from the hospital and a little bit of extra money so that she can stay at home with Aaron post-surgery for at least 2-3 days without having to worry about monetary issues. Aaron is one of the most loving, intelligent, and curious kids that you would ever meet and with this surgery we are hoping that he can lead a better quality of life where he is not struggling everyday with pain. My sister (his mother ) Elizabeth lives in Dominican Republic and this surgery is not only a very rigorous and invasive one so a specified surgeon (only one doctor in DR can perform this surgery) is needed but giving the fact that he is only 1 in 30,000 children to suffer from this the surgery is also very expensive due to how intricate it is.  Friends and family we are hoping that together we can unite and find it in our hearts to see this young boy live a healthy, long life. We thank you for taking the time to read this and if you cannot donate, your prayers are also needed and appreciated. We have no doubt that all will work for the goodness of God and he cares and loves Aaron.
