We are starting this fundraiser to help cover the cost of specialist care for our son , Beckham, as we navigate a rare skull condition that requires evaluation by pediatric specialists. Details will update once we have official diagnosis 

He spent 15 days in the NICU, and while we are incredibly grateful he is home, our journey isn’t over yet. Unfortunately, our current insurance does not cover any of the children’s hospitals in our state. We are actively trying to secure additional coverage, but in the meantime we must move forward with care.

We have two specialist consults scheduled for late January, and each consult alone is approximately $1,500 out of pocket. This does not include the additional costs for tests, labs, ultrasounds, or imaging that will be required to confirm the diagnosis and determine severity. We are also facing travel expenses to get him the care he needs.

Our fundraising goal is $30,000, which will help us cover:
• Specialist consultation fees
• Diagnostic testing and imaging
• Travel, hotel, parking and related medical expenses

  • Procedures that insurance won’t cover 

At this time, we are hopeful this condition may be more cosmetic than medical, but we truly won’t know the extent until specialists are able to fully evaluate him. The sooner we can get answers, the better we can plan next steps and ensure the best outcome for our baby.

We appreciate every share, donation, prayer, and kind thought more than words can express. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we take this next step. 🤍

The insurance we were able to secure for Beckham is covering roughly $100,000 for the surgery only (no follow up or helmeting therapy added yet) so we are stuck with roughly $30,000 we are looking to have to pay out of pocket ! We need you to share and donate now more than ever ! Thank you so much for all of your support ❤️ we couldn’t do it without all of our family and friends

Follow-up went great today ! Doctor says it’s looking great , minimal swelling left from surgery 🙏🏼

We also got our first cranio helmet and I’ve already had an annoying comment from a lady . Ugh but anywayssssss it’s been a rough go and will be a major adjustment as he settles into it the next few weeks . 

We hit 21% of our fundraiser goal this morning  !! Keep sharing . With approx 30 trips to Chicago coming up we have a lot of extra expenses coming our way and appreciate you all! 

We both have to take off 1 day every 2 weeks for helmet adjustments in the city 😔
