Help Give Austin The Best Life Possible

Meet Austin! The newest addition to the Minecraft & Chill family. Unfortunately, Austin has been forced to play life on Hard Mode.

Austin suffered brain damage at birth (a severe form of PVL). Despite being a perfectly handsome little man right now, he is expected by doctors to develop a severe form of Cerebral Palsy in the future. After some brain scans, doctors informed us that Austin will likely never walk or talk.

This obviously left us extremely heartbroken but after researching a lot about his condition, we were given hope. We've developed a strong determination to do everything that we can to improve his prognosis.

All brain injuries have different outcomes. We have been told to expect both motor & learning difficulties with a very low chance of being able to walk. But with hard work & specialist therapies, there's still a chance he could defy the odds & live a completely normal life.

We want to do everything we can to give Austin the best chance in life. After extensive research, the best outcomes seem to be a result of starting various therapies ASAP to give his brain a chance to rewire itself while it's still growing.

We have been encouraged by loads of success stories where children with the same condition have gone on to live completely normal & happy lives with a lot of hard work. We won't give up on him.

Unfortunately, the treatments needed to give him the best chance of a happy life are unaffordable to us without support. I've never asked for anything from my YouTube community before. You already do so much for my family by watching the videos. I just want to do everything I possibly can to make sure he has the best possible life.

If you've ever found any of my YouTube content useful, please consider a small donation.

Things my family need to fundraise for to help him thrive:

- Private Physiotherapy to help maintain mobility in his arms & legs (£500 Per Month)

- Stem Cell Therapy to help repair damaged brain cells ($18,000 to $38,000 Per Course)

- Travel & Living Costs (Stem Cell Treatment is currently only available in Panama or Thailand)

- Specialist ABM Therapy in London to improve cognitive function (£6000 per year)

- Future mobility equipment, suitable vehicle & home adjustments

- Future surgeries (SDR Surgery costs £16,000)

- Other therapies such as Hydrotherapy and Speech & Language therapy

With your help... One day... Austin might be able to play Minecraft or even kick a ball.

Thank you for your consideration. I will keep you updated on Austin's progress!

Edit: Thanks to all the support so far, Austin now regularly goes to private hydrotherapy & conductive education sessions. He also receives physiotherapy & occupational therapy. He's doing amazing & is a very happy boy! He's already exceeded a lot of expectations! Thank you!
