Parker's medical expenses

Donation protected
My name is Heather and I am looking for a way to help our favorite family. We all know and love the Hammerle family, Melissa is a teacher and photographer and is always trying to help others when she can, and Matt is in the Army.  Both are often giving of themselves, and never ones to ask for help, not once. However, since their son Parker was hospitalized when he was 6 weeks old he has been in and out of the hospital, had more procedures than most will in a life time, gone through test after test, doctor after doctor. Parker will be turning 2 in July and while he looks like the average kid,  he is struggling on many levels. He has suffered from kidney problems, bladder reflux issues, severe vomitting, and most recently a hearing impairment and entered speech and IMH (infant mental health) therapies. Parker is the sweetest kid around and has taken all of this in stride. And his wonderful parents, have continued to bear the burden of all of his testing and procedures, and the cost too. The procedures and therapies often leave Melissa having to leave work to take him, which reduces her monthly income significantly, which in return makes their lives a little bit harder than it needs to be. Parker will need another expensive procedure in May to diagnose his specific hearing loss and condition, in addition to the potential need of hearing aides or cochlear implants. The out of pocket burden on Matt and Melissa is simply too much, and this should be the LAST thing they need to worry about. And they would never ask any one else to help. So I will. Let's come together and help two of the most selfless people I know.  Parker has to endure so much, and if we can lift a little bit of the financial burden off of the Hammerle's I know they would be forever grateful. This would also help them focus just on Parker, his therapy, treatment, and care, as well as his big sister Paisley-Kate, and not on how to earn extra money to pay for his medicines, appointments, therapies, etc. Thank you for your consideration.
