Mason was born with a very rare genetic illness. He and his family are asking for help to provided him with much-needed treatment.

Mason forms the heart of a loving family who support him in all his challenges. He was born with a very rare genetic illness, so rare that only a handful of cases have been found worldwide, and so serious that it has caused him to endure over forty surgeries and medical procedures — eight alone since 2019 — throughout his childhood. As a child of a Navy father, Mason spent years in the care of Walter Reed’s pediatric ward. His congenital and developmental issues have been compounded by speech and learning challenges, a severe anxiety disorder, and OCD. Doctors believe these complications have been brought on by medical trauma and amplified by his genetic syndrome. Because of this, Mason now needs advanced out-patient mental health care to help him with these new problems. Sadly, very few treatment centers are qualified — or willing — to provide the treatment and services he needs while being able to handle his complex medical conditions at the same time.

Hello all my sweet contributors. We are so grateful for all the money donation thus far. We have changed our focus from Roger's Hospital to doing close to home trauma therapy. Mason's psychiatrist feels his current mental health issues are rooted in trauma Mason received from so many surgeries in his life.

Mason has been attending occupational therapy, physical therapy, and trauma therapy a few times a week. He is making progress but we need more funds to support the huge cost of all therapies, up to $200 an hour. He wants his body to be well enough to play soccer again.

Please consider sharing and donating.
