Hayden's Medical IBD Fund

Donation protected
I want to say a huge thank you to so many people who has helped me out so far on this journey with my son's illness. All the warm thoughts and prayers have answered my largest need which was a car. For without your support I would not been able to purchase a car to transport him. I plan on keeping this funding active for emergency basis only in case of Hayden's health issues need it. Be blessed and more than grateful for each one of you!!! Hayden's Story: My name is Hayden, I am 11 years old and I am Autistic. My mom's name is Jen (JAnn)and my sisters names are KayCee and Natasha, and my brother's name is Mitch. I had a cat named Savage, but my kitty died last week. I have been sad without him. But, even though, to me, my life seemed to be great until February 9th when I spent three days in the hospital. My sickness started back at Christmas and slowly progressed. I have been diagnosed with Crohn's Colitis Disease, where my entire colon is imflammed. I have been through one round of Prednisone and waiting to see my doctor for future medications. I have been doing rather good with no major flare ups as of it. But things may change quickly since I am tapering off of my Prednisone. Crohn's Colitis Disease is an autoimmune disease and it's a life long battle of pain, bleedy diarrhea, urine retintion and life-threatening infections and if it gets worse enough I can loose my entire colon. But, what makes things even more difficult is that my mom, see she is my main caretaker and she is disabled too, she lives with chronic pain and neuropathy, anxiety and panic attacks and Fibromyalgia. I know money is always tight for my mom. Our only income is Social Security and food stamps, since my dad isn't paying child support for me. :( I am asking for assistance in helping my mom in savings for any emergency needs I may have, such as travel funds, lodging, OTC Prescriptions and special foods for me. Any and all donations would be appreciated! Side note from my mom: Thank you for taking the time to read about my little boy. Things were going pretty good for us until I moved us out of Idaho to my hometown in Montana. Hayden's dad stopped paying child support and went into self-employment status where Idaho Child Support wasn't able to garnish his paychecks. I have tried to work with him but he avoids all costs of support for his son..he has made very little effort on keeping in contact with me or his son. This make things difficult financially before but even more so now. I was able to support us all well until last Christmas my little boy starting with the diarrhea which turned to him pooping straight blood. February 9th he went into the hospital and had a colonoscopy and endoscopy performed Monday February 12th at Kalispell Regional Hospital. We found out he has IBD Crohn's Colitis Disease. His entire colon is inflamed! Dr.Flax was surprised that he was not gushing blood out for how bad things look. If we cannot get this inflammation out, they will have to remove his entire colon. Which would mean my little man would either have a pouch inside or a stool bag on the outside. My goal as his mom is to take out the inflammation and have him go in remission which can happen with either, but with my finances being so small, I feel I have no choice but to reach out and ask for this donation for him. I personally have no family that can help. Both of my parents and my sisters have passed on. The funds will be used for savings for Hayden's Medical Fund. Please any and all help would be a true gift and blessing from God. Thank you in advance! With each withdraw of funds, Hayden has requested that 10% will be given back to either Autism Speaks or the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.
