#Forreststong Family Funds
Donation protected
Please help support Forrest and family financially stay afloat for the next two months. They need funds to cover their basic needs: rent (to keep their home in Carpinteria), car payment and food.
Forrest Holt is a precious three year old boy who was born with a vascular malformation and is in End Stage Renal Failure (meaning he is on regular dialysis and will need a kidney transplant.) He is currently a long-term patient at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. He has had “debulking” surgery on the malformation, and an Abdominoperineal Resection.
Forrest and family have been in the hospital since June, and will be inpatient for the next two months. They will need two more months of financial support in order to pay for their basic needs (rent, car, food etc.) This is the bare minimum needed to stay afloat for 2 more months. If we can raise more, they will have a bit of cushion, and will avoid having to incur more credit card debt and more stress.
Tonia is Forrest’s relentless and determined mother. She is a capable, strong and independent woman who has devoted her life to Forrest, and her other son, five year old Carter. She has fiercely advocated for her kids, and is a critical part of Forrest’s medical team. She is steadfast, doesn’t complain, and puts the needs of her family ahead of her own. Her only source of income has been to be paid as Forrest’s nurse when he is at home giving him around-the-clock care. When Forrest is in the hospital, and under the care of the amazing doctors and nurses at CHLA, there is no income stream for the family. The #Forreststrong Nation has done an amazing job supporting this family, however, on top of this current crisis, their needs will continue as Forrest is currently facing several more surgeries (including a kidney transplant), and will also need our support in the future.
The total estimated monthly basic living expenses are approximately $4500 per month. Tonia has managed the current financial donations with absolute care, however, her current funds are nearly gone.
Forrest is doing so much better, but has a long road ahead. Please do what you can to support this little family!!
