<div><strong>Kaiden is a true testament to what GOD can do.</strong> Abused by birth parents and not expected to live 48 hours, he will be 3 in November! At 3 months old, taken to the ER for an “earache,” the staff quickly realized it was so much worse. C2-3 broken neck, multiple rib fractures, a visible handprint on his throat, and bruises too many to count were just the beginning of what was found. His brain hemorrhaging caused seizures, and his retinas were trying to detach from the back of his eyes. He was flown to Cook Children's Hospital, where he spent the next 4 weeks proving everyone wrong! He was adopted just after his first birthday, and we will spend our entire life advocating for child abuse prevention and getting Kaiden the best treatment possible for a better quality of life. We did stem cell treatment in September of 2024 and saw great gains in his physical and cognitive abilities. We now have learned about Neurocytonix treatment.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our focus is on helping the brain restore broken connections called neural tracts that connect different areas of the body. Our non-invasive protocols are designed to help stimulate brain cell regrowth and repair broken connections in the neural network.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>These protocols include precisely calculated doses of electromagnetic signals, delivered in pulses to damaged cells. Using low-energy radiofrequency, we target signals directly at the cells. Functional neurogenesis stimulation is the promotion of new functional neural pathways.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>However, it is costly. Can you help us get there? Any and every amount will help.</strong>

Support Kaiden's Journey to Recovery

<div>Meet Tucker
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tucker came into this world fighting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Born at just 32 weeks and 1 day after an emergency delivery, he weighed only 3 lbs 15 oz. In those critical moments, his tiny brain likely experienced a lack of oxygen and blood flow—the leading cause of cerebral palsy in premature babies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the first six months, everything seemed okay… and then suddenly, everything changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tucker was diagnosed with infantile spasms, followed by quadriplegic cerebral palsy, cortical visual impairment, epilepsy, and speech delay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But those diagnoses don’t define him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They don’t show his joy.
</div>
<div>They don’t show his determination.
</div>
<div>They don’t show the way he works every single day for things most of us never have to think about.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tucker doesn’t walk or talk yet—but he fights for every bit of progress. Through intensive therapies, stem cell treatments, functional neurology, and daily exercises, he continues to prove that he is capable of more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He loves Mickey Mouse, music, counting, and being around people.
</div>
<div>And through it all—he is the happiest little boy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we have another opportunity to help him keep moving forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>None of these therapies—or the travel required—are covered by insurance. But they are giving Tucker something priceless:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>a chance to grow, to improve, and to reach his full potential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel led to donate, we are incredibly grateful.
</div>
<div>If you can’t, sharing Tucker’s story is just as powerful—it helps us reach someone who can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tucker has already overcome so much.
</div>
<div>And we truly believe he still has so much ahead of him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in him.
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with us.
</div>
<div>And thank you for helping us continue to fight for Tucker’s future.
</div>

Help Tucker Access Life-Changing Therapies

<div>Hello, my name is Stacy, and I am Noah’s mom.
</div>
<div>Seventeen years ago, Noah was deprived of oxygen at birth. That single moment caused permanent global brain damage. He lives with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy with athetoid movements. From his first breath, his life has depended on constant, skilled care and relentless advocacy.
</div>
<div>What people often imagine is a diagnosis-what they don’t see is the lifetime that follows.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noah requires 24/7 hands-on care. Not supervision. Not help. Care. Because of the complexity and risk involved, both of his parents must remain home. This is not a choice — it is what keeping him safe requires.
</div>
<div>For 17 years, we have lived inside systems that were never built for children like Noah. Every service must be justified. Every hour of care must be defended. Supports come with expiration dates, and families are expected to quietly absorb whatever disappears next.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now Noah is approaching adulthood and this is not a milestone for families like ours.
</div>
<div><strong>It is a cliff.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As pediatric protections vanish, waitlists stretch for years, and eligibility rules change overnight, the stability of Noah’s care is suddenly at risk not because his needs have changed but because the calendar has. His body does not get easier to care for at 18. His medical fragility does not lessen. But the safety nets do.
</div>
<div>This moment will determine whether Noah’s care continues safely or fractures in ways that cannot be undone.
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is not about extras. It is about preventing a fall.
</div>
<div>Funds raised will help cover:
</div>
<div>* Legal advocacy and attorney fees to fight for the care hours Noah medically requires
</div>
<div>* Medical and mobility equipment not fully covered by insurance
</div>
<div>* Home modifications necessary for safety as his body grows and changes
</div>
<div>* Specialized therapies and caregiving coverage
</div>
<div>* The countless uncovered costs required simply to keep him safe and supported
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noah is not a diagnosis. He is a person.
</div>
<div>He experiences joy and fear. He knows comfort and connection. He communicates in his own way. He is deeply loved. His life has value — even when protecting that life is expensive and exhausting.
</div>
<div>I have carried this fight quietly for nearly two decades. Asking for help does not come easily. But we are standing at the edge of a system that was never designed to catch him.
</div>
<div>If you are able to give, share, or simply see him, please know it matters more than you can imagine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noah’s Miracle is that he is here. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our hope is that with your help, he does not fall.
</div>
<div>Thank you for seeing my son. — Stacy
</div>

Noah’s Miracle- A Lifetime of Care, A Family Fighting Alone

<div>
 Hi, my name is Trinity, a 30-year-old mother just trying to survive. On June 6, 2026, my worst nightmare became a reality, and my oldest son, Peter, took his last breath. He was on hospice care for 10 months, and 3 days before he died, we made the decision to move him to the hospice facility to allow the nurses and doctors to be the caregivers in his final moments, so our family could just be family. We did not expect that he was going to go so quickly when we went to the hospice facility. We thought we had more time with him. But he was tired, and he fought such a long, brave battle for 11.5 years. Peter leaves behind me(his mom), his daddy Logan, and his four siblings.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 As you can imagine, this has been extremely hard on all of us. So, so hard.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Peter was the brightest light. He was my absolute best friend. I’m lost without him. This grief is so, so strong. I just can’t believe that I’m going to have to live so much of my life without him.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The first month after Peter died, we were okay financially still. We exhausted all the help that everyone generously provided. I couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who has helped us during this horrible time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Last month, on July 11, Peter's daddy applied to get a second month of bills covered through a nonprofit from his work, so we don’t lose our home or our car, so we could put food on the table and have electricity in our home. We have been waiting and stressing, with back-and-forth communication all month long.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 It has been intense stress.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This month we only were able to pay our rent through the help of our loved ones. We have been scraping by on the skin of our teeth, simply from our loved ones' help.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The communication truly made it seem like they would be able to cover one more month's worth of bills.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This morning they emailed him and informed him that, unfortunately, they do not offer help for bereavement time off. If he had another reason for taking time off that included a doctor's note, they would be happy to review it. And they were sorry for what we were going through.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And wow, while I’m incredibly grateful they were able to help with our bills when he took time off right before Peter died (we had a doctor's note then, from Peter’s doctor saying we needed to be with him), because I know without that help we would have been so, so much more screwed and struggling.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 It felt a little bit like a slap in the face to hear that today…
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I asked Peter's daddy last month to wait a little longer. I thought they were surely going to help us, and I just needed him home. I was falling apart, and I just needed a little more time to get my footing back underneath me. To get this grief under control and not feel the weight of an elephant sitting on my chest anytime I’m alone.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I feel <strong>so</strong> guilty. So incredibly guilty.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Because now we know that we aren’t going to get the help we were expecting to get. We are struggling so much, and the bills just keep stacking up.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Peter's daddy is back at work full time again.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 But we are already behind on our bills.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Our rent is due tomorrow, September 1, and we can’t pay it.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Our electricity is very, very overdue. Due to the heat in AZ, they won’t just turn it off until September 9.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I did apply for electric assistance, but we are still waiting to hear back on whether we get approved or not.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our phone bills are due.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The internet bill is due.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>I wouldn’t be here asking everyone all over again if they have it in them to help us out if I felt there was any other way.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I’m feeling so helpless right now, and I don’t know what to do.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Please, if there is anything anyone can offer to help, we would greatly appreciate it.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This has been the hardest time of our whole lives. I can’t believe that this is even my real life. It feels like an absolute nightmare.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I’m so, so sad all the time, and all this stress on top of it is taking a huge toll on me.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I just want things to be easy for a little bit.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I just need to feel a little solid ground under my feet so I can find my footing.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Please, if you can help us get back on our feet this very last time, I can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am for the community that sharing Peter's story brought to me. So many of you encouraged me to do this because you truly want to help… and I just can’t fathom that so many people truly care about us.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 But I know it’s true. I know you all really do care. So here I am, asking please to care big one more time!
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We just need to afford our rent, and the rest we will figure out!
</div>

A Community Rally for The Peppard Family

<div>Help Us Get Kaiden Where He Needs to Go ❤️♿
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, Kaiden is a medically complex child who relies on specialized equipment and ongoing therapies to help him reach his fullest potential. Every appointment, therapy session, hospital visit, and family outing requires careful planning to ensure he can travel safely.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last fall, we made the difficult decision to sell our Nissan NV 15-passenger van because maintaining three vehicle payments and insurance policies simply wasn't sustainable for our family. We purchased an Expedition Max after being told there were modifications available that would allow us to safely transport Kaiden while still accommodating our large family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past several months, we have explored every option available. We've met with specialists, researched equipment, and looked into multiple modifications. Unfortunately, every solution has ultimately fallen through—either because it wasn't safe, wasn't compatible with our vehicle, or wouldn't meet Kaiden's growing needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are now facing the reality that the safest and most practical solution is a true wheelchair-accessible van.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn't about convenience. It's about safety. It's about ensuring Kaiden can get to his medical appointments and therapies. It's about making sure he can be included in family vacations, community events, holidays, and everyday moments that so many of us take for granted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No child should have to miss out on life because transportation isn't accessible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Asking for help is never easy, but we've learned that our village is made up of some of the most compassionate people imaginable. If you're able to donate, share, or simply help spread the word, we would be incredibly grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar brings us one step closer to giving Kaiden safe, reliable transportation and the freedom to continue experiencing the world alongside his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in Kaiden and walking this journey with us. ❤️

Help Kaiden Get a Wheelchair-Accessible Van

<div>I am raising money to help give my two year old granddaughter, Kylie, the funeral she deserves, to celebrate her amazing life. 
</div>
<div>she fought so hard for two years and she received her heavenly miracle on May 27. She was able to successfully donate her kidneys and liver to save two other babies. She is our hero and we will miss her. We want to celebrate her life with you all. 
</div>

A Beautiful Farewell for Kylie

<div><strong>Thank You:</strong> Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who has donated, prayed, shared our story, and stood beside our family during this time of unimaginable loss. Your kindness has carried us through the darkest days, and we are deeply grateful.
</div>
<div>Azmeret was our fierce little cowgirl — brave, kind, and full of love for everyone she met. Her spirit lit up every room, and her compassion knew no bounds. While our hearts ache with her absence, we take comfort in knowing that her story does not end with her passing. 
</div>
<div>Your support — in every form — reminds us that we are not alone. Whether through a donation, a prayer, a message, or simply sharing her story, you’ve honored Azmeret in a way that brings light to our pain.
</div>
<div>As we move forward, we hold on to hope — hope that the justice system will do right by her, and that her legacy will inspire change and bring awareness.
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>The parents of Azmeret Mayall
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Update: </strong>As many of you know, Azmeret tragically did not survive her injuries. On behalf of Julius, Jaqueline, and their family, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your prayers, support, and encouragement during this unimaginable time. Your generous donations are profoundly appreciated as Julius and Jaqueline face the most heartbreaking chapter of their lives. Please continue to keep Azmeret and her loved ones in your thoughts and prayers as we all try to navigate this immense loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Early this morning, my cousin Jaqueline and her two children — Azmeret (6 years old) and Elliot (7 months) — were struck by a suspected drunk driver. Jaqueline and baby Elliot sustained minor to moderate injuries and are currently being treated in the hospital. Tragically, Azmeret is in critical condition and undergoing emergency surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to ask for your support — whether it's a donation or simply keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers. Every bit of help means so much right now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations will go directly to support Jaqueline, her husband Julius, and their children Azmeret, Grayson, and Elliot as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Julius and Grayson, were not in the vehicle during the accident.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers.
</div>

<div><strong>Carter’s Crew Cares for Kidz is raising money for the first annual “Carter Landon Fowler Memorial Scholarship”</strong> to be awarded to a deserving senior in May 2026.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This first year, we would like it to go to a student who will continue their education in pediatric nursing, healthcare such as occupational, physical, or vision therapy, special education teaching, social work, counseling young adults, or has a desire to work with foster/adoptive youth. This list is not complete, but we would like the education to be related as Carter’s life centered around many of these.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>All of your funds donated will be used for this scholarship. I will pay all fees related to GoFundMe.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for helping to make this scholarship possible.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The May 2026 scholarship will be awarded to a graduating senior of Har-Ber High School.</strong> This is the high school Carter would have attended.

</div>

The first annual Carter Landon Fowler Memorial Scholarship

<div>My name is Trinity, and my husband and I have 5 children. Our oldest son, Peter, is very sick. He is medically complex with several chronic conditions and considered terminal. The last two years, he’s done nothing but fight every day for his life, to keep going, to keep living. In 2022, we were referred to Make-A-Wish, and in 2023, we got to take Peter and our beautiful family on a magical trip to Florida, so Peter could meet Mickey Mouse and Anna and Elsa.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Getting to have him experience his wish was the best thing ever. Give Kids The World was the most magical place on earth. GKTW is only for wish kids, and when you stay there, you make a beautiful star that gets put into the Castle of Dreams, and it stays there forever. There are over 100,000 wish kids' stars at GKTW, I believe.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>This is where my fundraising comes in. Getting to go to Florida once was truly once in a lifetime for our family, something we never could have done without Make-A-Wish.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>But Peter keeps getting sicker. His body is just so tired. My husband and I are just so dang scared, all the dang time. Peter sees so many specialists, and we try so many different things to get him the help that he needs. He keeps declining, no matter what we do.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Now we are scared. Our memory-making time is becoming very limited.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>More than anything, we wish and pray we had the means and opportunity to take him back to Florida so that he can see his star at Give Kids The World one more time before he passes away.</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I know that everyone likes to tell me to hold on to hope, that I don’t know what the future might bring and that I don’t know how things might change. But they don’t live this life.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Everyone likes to tell me that I shouldn’t think so negatively because Peter might live.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>But I don’t know what child they are talking about, what family life they are looking at, or whose world they are seeing a peek of. But it’s not ours. Because I’m sorry, but there isn’t a lot of hope.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Peter is SICK. He IS going to succumb to his illnesses one day much sooner than he should because every single doctor he has, has told me this.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>My baby boy is living life on limited time.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>And we are doing our best to make memories with limited means.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>More than anything, we just want to be able to do this one thing with him before it’s too late, before his illness takes a turn he can’t come back from.</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Peter's daddy, siblings, and I will have the rest of our lives to go back to Florida and visit Peter's star.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>I know that.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>But Peter won’t.


</div>
<div><br />

Support making memories with our son on Hospice.

<div>Kylie Emma Mohr gained her angel wings early this morning on 6/10/2025 after entering this world at 24 weeks and 3 days gestation on 6/5/2025 after a long five day fight. She entered this world a fighter and left a fighter and was shown nothing but unconditional love. She was far to special for this world and now is an angel in the sky with her Grandma Karen, Grandpa Gary and Mike and all her other angels. I know she will protect my sister and brother and law and all her siblings and cousins until we meet again.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>To help offset the costs of funeral and memorial expenses, I have started this GoFundMe to help ease some of the burden this family has during this difficult time. We are so grateful to have such amazing support, love and prayers. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kylie- please look down on us and bring us signs. We are so proud of you and will forever miss you. 

</div>

In memory of Kylie Emma Mohr our fierce girl 

<div>For the sake of a child’s privacy, I won’t be including any specific identifying information. I will try to keep this short and sweet, although my emotions might get the best of all of us. The little girl on the right, I know for certain, is supposed to be here! She has already served a major purpose, in her 4 years, before I have even been able to figure out in my 34 years of life and that was to be my daughters first best friend. From the very first time that I met, Green, my daughter and her were dragging each other all up and down the neighborhood. This lead to a family, that had just arrived from Shreveport, Louisiana and my little family to merge into a great friendship. The girls, soon became inseparable! Whoever woke up first was surely the first to head down to the other’s house, even before breakfast. Sometimes still in their pajamas. My daughter and Green became sisters! Little did anyone know, she was exactly what my daughter needed and needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Having come from a marriage of over 20 years, she is the “you know”, baby. That’s where this little spit fire gets her foundation! Her mother, the epitome of who I wished I had and who I wish to be as a mother. This woman is the definition of a force! Currently pursuing law, with 3 children and a husband, is all there is to back that statement. Green’s father, is the man that we all think are extinct! A father figure to all, a hard worker who is not afraid to love on his children even with that old school mentality! And just like our family, minus one, Green has 2 of the most amazing siblings as her protectors and role models.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I say minus one because my daughter lost her father, my husband, just a short year ago. Even though nothing could replace that bond, I couldn’t give my daughter what she needed. She needed, Green.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Green was diagnosed with leukemia on 7-26-23.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don’t think, I have to say it, but I will. No child deserves this. I could go on and say, “life’s not fair!” I could scream at the top of my lungs from the frustration that this child, my daughters best friend, my other(child) from a different mother, definitely does not deserve this! I know that’s everyone’s thought in the face of cancer! But I AM TELLING YOU that my little girl needs her best friend. We all need her! We all need the boss to stick around because there’s only one chief!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I started this because I have now experienced what it’s like to deal with life when we need our full attention and energy to consume a crisis, and it’s hard!!! That baby needs all the love and support her family and friends and extended family has to give to her. So I would love to set this fund, right here, under your eyes and heart to ask for the love and outside support from those who knows what it’s like to deal with the unexpected and give her family some financial ease so they’re able to focus their energy to strengthen our small warrior! To know Green, is to love her. And if you just so happened to not fall in love with her, you are definitely going to know who she is!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you,
</div>
<div>Ky and Fam
</div>
<div>We will get through this G-family!❤️
</div>

Our sassafras, Green, is the boss of cancer too!

<div>Jayden was born with a severe heart defect and had 4 open heart surgeries before the age of 4. He led a fairly normal life after that. When he was 8, we discovered he had been having seizures for years after having a grand mal. We almost lost him that night. After that again, everything was fairly normal. We controlled his seizures and he was doing great. In 2022 (12 yrs old), we were told he was outgrowing his mechanical valve that was placed when he was 3. And that his heart was starting to struggle. I had hoped that all he needed was a new valve but they told me he would do better with a transplant. In March, we started tests to confirm this was needed. When we decided to move forward with transplant in July/Aug 2022, we were given another huge blow. <strong>Jayden needed a liver transplant as well.</strong> The way his blood flowed affected his liver and he was between stage 3-4 of liver Fibrosis. It didn't take long for him to be accepted. In Sept, we got the official letter.

<div>By December of 2022, you could physically see Jay starting to struggle to keep up and stay awake. In late January, it started to get really scary. He was flown over to CHLA because he was in SVT. I witnessed my child get cardioverted several times (shocked) that is used to shock his heart back into normal rhythm. He was released but he had episodes where his heart raced to 120/140bpm for hours. For 2 weeks after the 1st episode, I was scared he would code at home. He was by my side 24/7, I did not let him out of my sight. On Feb 16, Jayden was finally admitted but this time was because his heart was too slow and his blood pressure was too low as well. Something was dangerously wrong.

<div>Jayden was in the hospital from Feb 16, 2023, to May 22, 2024! He got his transplant not long after being admitted. It was March 27th, 2023. Everything went downhill. I won't go into detail because there was too much to say. but his first 2 weeks, Jayden bled heavily. By the end of those 1st 2 weeks, we needed a miracle because they were going to have to stop care. Thankfully it did. But Jayden still needed to get off Ecmo and another huge thing. He suffered several big strokes. They did not think he was going to wake up and if he did they said he would be machine dependent and he would have no quality of life. But I saw something they couldn't. Jayden was blinking on command. Getting Jayden off of ecmo was very rocky but I pushed hard for them to do absolutely everything. He got off on April 20th! After that, it was a rollercoaster still. Jayden would start to thrive for a month or so then something big would happen. In total this is what happened to him:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Massive bleeds from chest and abdomen for 2 weeks
</div>
<div>Major ACA and MCA Strokes on both sides
</div>
<div>He was going to lose a leg because of ecmo (later came back)
</div>
<div>Collapsed lung
</div>
<div>Septic 8 or 9 times
</div>
<div>Kidney failure (dialysis dependent)
</div>
<div>Massive GI bleeds the worst being almost 5 liters
</div>
<div>Liver rejection (it's doing well now)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since he's been out, he has been thriving and we hope to come home soon! <strong>All we need is a wheelchair accessible van.</strong> It's very hard getting Jayden in and out of the car and relying on public transportation is almost impossible. Before all this, we were a very active family and would go everywhere together. I am hoping with your help I can raise enough money to get a van so Jayden can finally enjoy life again. This won't only help us get to and from his appointments but will also help our family unity and Jayden's mental health.

Help Jayden- Stroke survivor & fighter get a wheelchair van

<div>Emmett was born 9/20/23 with severe Ebstein’s Anomaly. His first open-heart surgery was at 5 weeks old, where a cone procedure failed, leading to the Starnes Procedure and BT Shunt, making him a single-ventricle kiddo. He was later diagnosed with Abernethy Malformation, a rare liver condition. After significant challenges, he was weaned off medications and oxygen support and made his way to TCU status! He had a pre-Glenn cath procedure and then the Glenn procedure on April 1, 2024. Although the surgery went well, he faced setbacks, including breathing issues that required intubation. He never truly recovered and had a cath lab procedure on April 23, 2024 to coil collateral vessels and he slowly made progress. Eventually though Emmett’s respiratory status deteriorated and he is back on a bi-pap interface on the ventilator. He has more collateral vessels that need coiled and a very small airway. The team believes at this time a transfer to Pittsburgh Children’s would be best for him. Pittsburgh has a specialist in Ebstein's anomaly who created the cone procedure.
</div>
<div>On 6/20/24 Emmett was officially accepted by a physician in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh Children's Hospital is one of the only hospitals in America who will accept Emmett as a 1-ventricle kiddo with intentions of doing a cone-procedure, which would make him a double-ventricle kid again! If the cone-procedure is successful this could mean Emmett may never need a heart transplant. On 6/28/24 everything was officially approved and the transfer was in the hands of Pittsburgh. We were told on 7/1/24 that Pittsburgh would be reaching out to advise us when they will transport Emmett. On 7/2/24 Pittsburgh had a meeting and decided that despite everything being approved, that they no longer choose to work with Emmett’s insurance. We were told previously this would not be an issue, as they have worked with Illinois Medicaid before. Emmett has Meridian (Illinois Medicaid) and our only hope is to reapply and pray Emmett qualifies for a program that helps get kids the insurance they need and that Emmett can get an insurance Pittsburgh will work with, this process can take anywhere around 6 weeks! On 7/3/24 we have started the process with insurance but this takes time that Emmett doesn’t have!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Emmett needs to get to Pittsburgh, if he stays a 1-ventricle kid, Emmett will need a transplant, which for him is nearly impossible to have approved, due to his liver and lung issues. If Emmett stays in St. Louis and continues down this road of a transplant, he will end up on hospice and we can’t say goodbye to our sweet boy. Pittsburgh is Emmett’s only hope. Emmett deserves this procedure, he deserves to live many years to come. Please help us get our boy the life-saving care in Pittsburgh that he deserves. Any money used from this fundraiser will be used towards getting Emmett to Pittsburgh and getting him the cone-procedure to save his life. A medical flight equipped for Emmett with the special equipment and staff he needs will be at minimum $20,000 should insurance deny him. This will not include any additional charges, hospital stay, travel expenses, etc. truly anything helps!

Support Emmett’s Fight

<div>Hi, this is Taylors grandma, Irene. We all want Taylor to be able to heal and have a fully working body again. After her rex shunt surgery and long stay in the PICU last year, she hasnt been able to bend at the waist (without bending her knees first). The tightness in her back, hips and legs limit her mobility. Julie and Randy found some therapies that have the potential to help her, but their insurance has a very high deductable and they cannot afford to do the therapies until the deductible is paid down. I, as her grandma, wanted to do a go fund me to see if the monies could be raised for her.

<div>We may be the reason Benny is living his best life, but he only has this life because of a wheelchair. We were recently introduced to Leah. She was in a car accident at 19 years old and as a result became paralyzed from the chest down. She relies solely on her arms and a wheelchair to get around. For the last 12 years she has navigated life this way, and she will be the first to tell you it took almost that long to get some independence back. But it’s time for her to explore where the sidewalk ends. For her to do that she needs an electric wheelchair that can handle terrain outside of pavement. Unfortunately, insurance will not cover this type of wheelchair. She did not ask for help - we asked to help her. If it weren’t for all of you and your generosity, Benny would not live the way he does. And we want to pay that forward - to a human! Leah is so deserving of this and we hope to make this possible!

<div>My name is Heather Ferraiuolo i am creating this fundraiser for a special little boy our town has all come to love and spent countless hours praying for. Wyatt has struggled his entire life with numerous health conditions including a heart transplant, dialysis etc. His family got devastating news this week that he would be discharged home on palliative care.
</div>
<div>His family was hoping he would be able to go to Disney and see his favorite guys Buzz and Woody but we decided why not bring Buzz and Woody to him? Let’s throw Wyatt and his family a party to remember.❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the unfortunate event we are unable to throw Wyatt’s party ALL donations will be given to the family to help with end of life expenses.

Bring Disney to Wyatt

<div>Herschel is officially scheduled at UGA for next month! We'll take him for his consultation and X-Rays and they will likely operate on the first hip (both his hips need replacement) the next day. We've consulted with numerous vets who all advised that due to the severity of the dysplasia, he needs a total hip replacement, not just an FHO. We were quoted $8,000 a hip, plus a $1,000 consult with X-Rays. Yes, this is a lot of money, but Herschel didn't ask for any of this and as dog lovers, we will fix him. After rehab Herschel will be available for adoption and able to live a normal life with his new hips! It will take some time to raise this money, so we're starting now because we will need to pay the day of surgery. Thank you all for everything you do for our foster dogs!
