Alijah goes to Boston!

Donation protected
My son Alijah was diagnosed with a massive brain tumor last June, he has since undergone 30hrs of brain surgeries. The type of tumor he has is so rare that he is one of only four cases known to have this type in the world! My son is so special and I want raise money to help us during this difficult time.I've had to make sacrifices which include quitting my job to take him to his appointments and be as available to him as possible, but our bills including medical bills not paid by insurance have become a major burden to me. My son was hospitalized for almost four months and in a rehab facility for 5weeks after.He had to learn how to walk again, suffered permanent hearing loss and is visually impaired now.
My son is doing much better and currently in school again fulltime. He makes As & Bs and is looking towards a successful future. He still has three residual tumor pieces left in his brain that his neurologist monitors closely. Any signs of growth could very well mean another surgery, radiation, and or chemo.
My son's high school is  honoring him by having a Walk held on September 17th 2015! T-shirts are available for all who are interested. Alijah has a birthday coming up as well so the money I hope to raise will give him the gifts of his heart's desire and also help with living expenses. Please help if you can, Alijah is a extraordinary young man, who touches hearts of all he meets!
