Urgent Call for Support: Save Scarlett's Life

Dear compassionate hearts,

Meet Scarlett, a precious little warrior facing an unparalleled medical battle. Scarlett's life is marked by rare chromosome and genetic mutations, making her the only known person with such a unique combination. At just 3 years old, she has undergone over 20 surgeries and countless emergency visits, courageously navigating a challenging journey that her resilient mother, Crystal, has been leading.

Scarlett's father, Justin, a dedicated Merchant Marine, tirelessly works offshore to support the family, while Crystal devotes her entire being to care for Scarlett and her older sibling at home. The family has reached a critical juncture as Scarlett fights for her life, and their home care has hit its limits . Desperate for a lifeline, they've made the journey to Boston Children’s Hospital, where a new team of professionals is urgently working to save Scarlett's life.

The financial strain on the Burgess family is immense, with medical expenses and the toll on their physical and mental health reaching extreme levels. Your support can make a significant difference in lightening their burden, enabling Scarlett's family to focus on what truly matters—supporting Scarlett through her difficult fight. Once she returns home she will still have to go to UNC for treatments.

Scarlett's older sister, a young and brave soul navigating her own challenges with Autism, stands by her side, watching her sister fight for her life daily. This courageous sibling has asked to be there for Scarlett, ensuring she doesn't face the battle alone. Their bond is a testament to the strength and unity that holds this family together during these trying times.

As Scarlett's family prepares to return from Boston, an additional challenge looms over them. Scarlett's father faces a heart-wrenching reality: he must go offshore for two months, leaving behind not only his child but also his wife and Scarlett's sister. The distance will break his heart as he yearns to be by their side during this critical battle.

Every penny you donate brings them closer to not only covering the immense and rapidly growing medical bills but also allowing Scarlett's father to be home as much as possible. Your generosity can make the difference between Scarlett facing this challenging journey with her daddy away or having him by her side. His income is the only financial support they have right now, which makes this current decision, a heartbreaking reality.

We are #ScarletStrong, rallying around this incredible family as they face an arduous road ahead. Your donations can provide crucial support for medical, travel, lodging, and gas expenses during Scarlett's treatment at Boston Children's Hospital, where she receives specialized care.

Let us come together to be the strength Scarlett needs. Donate, share, pray, and send good thoughts to this brave family. Be #ScarletStrong for Scarlett when she needs the strength that sometimes eludes her. Your generosity can be the beacon of hope that guides them through this challenging journey.

Join us in supporting Scarlett's fight for life. #ScarletStrong #HelpSaveScarlett
