On Zeke Puig's 7th birthday today we are launching this fundraising campaign as he bravely fights acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) . This past summer Zeke received two bone marrow transplants and has been in and out of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. After he was diagnosed in February, the family uprooted their lives in Lynchburg, VA to move to Philadelphia so he could get the help he needed.
Due to COVID-19, Zeke didn’t see his siblings (Elijah-10, Noelle-5, Micah-3) for 150 days!! At long last, and after the appropriate medical clearance was given, Zeke surprised them. Watch the heart warming video here that went viral and was played on Good Morning America who has been keeping up with the Puig family .
Zeke’s father is a pastor in Lynchburg. He and his mother, Danielle, need as much help as they can get to be able to afford the expenses of living in a new city without their typical income but with the added expenses they’ve incurred throughout Zeke’s recovery journey. Not only do the expenses of Zeke’s medical treatment far exceed what insurance will cover, the family is paying for medicine, housing, travel, food, childcare, and countless other incidental expenses.
In honor of Zeke’s seventh birthday on Sunday, October 18, we hope to raise $7,000 to carry them through the end of the year with living expenses. Zeke is back in the hospital right now fighting viruses and other complications, so fingers crossed he's back home to celebrate with the whole family soon! Any additional money raised will cover the exorbitant medical bills they face as well as housing, food, childcare, travel, and other bills in the future.
The money raised will be deposited directly into Pastor Puig’s bank account. If you live in Philadelphia and would like to prepare and deliver a meal for the family, you can do so here.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration. We know these are trying times for everyone and hope that whatever you are able to give, even a small prayer, will go far in Zeke’s journey toward healing.
Thank you, and happy 7th birthday, Zeke!
