Help Mason get the treatment he needs to walk

Donation protected


 Please donate to help our sweet baby Mason get the treatment he so badly needs in order to be able to walk.


On January 26th 2020  the most gentle,loveable,sweet baby boy was born,Mason Robert. We had found out at my 20 week ultrasound anatomy scan that our precious baby boy had a right Clubfoot. This broke my heart, like any other parents we had concerns.. will he be able to walk? Will he have any cognitive issues? The road ahead looked very overwhelming yet incredibly worth it. Mason was born healthy, happy and energetic. At two weeks old he started getting weekly casts on his entire leg, the process is uncomfortable and unsettling but we wanted to do anything we could to assure our baby would be able to normally walk and function In his life. We continued at the same doctor getting over 6 casts with no progress so I switched him to another. Once again we saw no progress but rather red flags and alarming concerns. I pulled Mason from this doctor and did some much needed research. I called around frantically and found Mason had already seen the only two doctors in NH willing to cast a baby with his condition. So I started to look else where and found a great doctor at Boston Children’s Hospital and the war with his insurance company began! Well they weren’t going to cover any out of network visits and they wouldn’t budge so we settled for Tufts Children’s Hospital which looked promising but little did we know the damage was already done. Mason wouldn’t tolerate casting any longer, he would cry hysterically for 8 hours until I took his cast off knowing in my soul something was seriously wrong. I expressed my mayor concerns to his doctor but he didn’t listen and wanted to continue with the same treatment. After traveling to Boston for six weeks we were still at square one and so incredibly desperate so I decided to reach out to the best known Pediatric  Orthopedic Surgery Specialist in the United States for advice. After closely reviewing Masons case he instructed me to stop getting him casted immediately. He sadly informed me that due to  improper treatment my son has now developed a a-typical Clubfoot (complex Clubfoot) this means it can not be treated as a normal Clubfoot and he must be seen by a specialist(this is why mason would no longer tolerate casting, he was in a great amount of pain)After more research I found absolutely no specialist whom are actually certified to deal with this matter in all of New England. After much consideration and thought we have decided it is in our sons best interest to go see this wonderful specialist in Florida however we will have to pay out of pocket. This organization in Florida deals with a lot of families in the same or similar situations so they have on-site housing for a low cost, they also are affiliated with a foundation that will help and or cover our flights. If you know me then you would know this has single handedly been the hardest thing I’ve ever been through, trying to make all the right decisions and advocate for my little baby all while trying to remain optimistic and strong for my family. Times are already so incredibly tough right now but if you are able to contribute even two dollars to our fund or just simply share this post I will be forever grateful. I can assure you all proceeds raised will go directly into a account for this trip and will 100% be used for Mason only.Thank you all for reading this, bless.

If you do not feel comfortable using go fund me please either Venmo me @Sgoodie, use the Facebook money APP or message me with your concerns :) thanks edit- I am absolutely dumbfounded by the amount of love and support we have received in such a short period of time,this gives me hope. I genuinely from the bottom of my heart appreciate all of you. Posting my sons private business on social media has not been easy one bit, thank you all for helping us reach our goal
