Help Baby Maximo fight Menkes Disease

Dear friends and compassionate hearts,

We come to you with a plea for help and hope for Baby Maximo Sagrero, a 5-month-old warrior recently diagnosed with Menkes Disease, an extremely rare and life threatening condition.

As parents, the weight of this news is immeasurable, but despite this hardship, Juan and Katy’s spirits remain steadfast as they seek a lifeline for their precious son.

This lifeline comes in the form of a clinical trial in Columbus, Ohio. Treatment is critically urgent and every day counts in Maximo’s fight. The family’s need to travel from their home in Merida, Mexico to Columbus, Ohio is of utmost importance, as it is the only location where treatment is currently available for Menke’s Disease.

However, the path to this beacon of hope is fraught with financial challenges. The family is in urgent need of support as the clinical trial takes place over the course of 3 years, and will require Maximo to remain in the United States during such time. Your financial support would help with the mounting costs of travel, lodging, doctor’s visits, medication, and general living expenses during Maximo's ongoing treatment.

By contributing to this GoFundMe, you become a vital part of “Team Momo”, a community rallying behind a family in their quest for healing. Every donation, no matter the size, is a step closer to providing Maximo with the care he needs and deserves.

Thank you for opening your hearts to Maximo's story. Your love, prayers and support light the way for this brave little warrior.
