Get Liam to Lurie Childrens!

Our family friends’ son, Liam, is a fantastic 9-year-old kid recently diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. Liam’s early years were full of joy and laughter--until November of 2021, when he started having difficulty standing, walking and climbing the stairs. At first, his parents thought it was just a mild sprain, but then gradually, it became worse; after consulting pediatric neurologists about his case, and a series of tests, Liam was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy.

It has been a long and challenging road for Liam and everyone who loves him. Thankfully, Lurie Children’s Hospital, one of the best pediatric hospitals in the world, has accepted him into their care!

Soon, Liam and his parents will be able to travel from the Philippines to Chicago for consultation and treatment. Access to the best medical care is a privilege many of us take for granted daily. For Liam and his parents, this trip will be life-changing and hopefully give Liam many more happy years to be a healthy and happy kid.

As you can imagine, this kind of care involves tremendous expense. While Liam’s parents are working with Lurie to learn of any financial assistance available, I am kindly calling on the generosity of my family and friends. Anything you can do to help will be forever appreciated by Liam, his parents, and myself.

Let’s get Liam well this holiday season.
