Paying tribute to Atticus Porter
Donation protected
Atticus is a strong little boy who had preservered through life altering difficulties of refractory epilepsy. Suffering from sub clinical seizures 24/7 this little angel caught hard each day.
Atticus tried several failed medications and was inoperable as there was no focal point or origin of his seizures. At an early age, he lost the ability to eat, speak, or even understand the simplest directions or instructions. He was confined to a paediatric wheelchair and fed through a g-tube but still fought for everyday on this planet.
Atticus passed away Monday August 19th and left behind a grieving mother-Melissa, father-Terrance, brother- Tobias and sister- Acelyn.
This family has devoted their lives to advocate for their son and to try to find a cure or at the very least to slow down his seizures.
Wed love to raise money to help cover funeral costs as well as day to day expenses during their time of grieving. No one should ever have to lose a child.
