Help bear their burdens, The Beckleys

The Beckleys are our friends, neighbors & people we consider family. I'm not sure where to start their story. The Beckleys have been dealt some tough cards, especially recently.

Xavian (the cute toddler) was diagnosed with Rickets disease last year. It is genetic & was passed to him from his momma, Mari. Mari has dealt with it her whole life & recieved nearly 30 surgeries, with the most recent one being last year. Since Xavian's diagnosis, they have monitored his symptoms & it became necessary for him to undergo a reconstructive skull surgery. In the months leading up to surgery, they had to travel to SLC to meet with Xavian's team of doctors. Steven, Xavian's dad would often stay here in Rexburg to work, while Mari & Xavian relied on Grandma Stewart to chauffer them back & forth as they don't have reliable transportation to make that trip as frequently as they've had to. Xavian's surgery got scheduled for Jan 26. While all of the prep for Xavian was happening, Steven was having his own health challenges, not feeling well, loosing weight, in pain & no appetite. After many doctor visits, tests & scans they discovered 4 large cysts on his pancreas. He had a severe pancreas attack 2 weeks before Xavian's surgery & was hospitalized. He was there for a week, but fortunately was released with strict care instructions the week before Xavian's procedure.

Mari worked right up to the week of the surgery & has now suspended employment until further notice so she can care for Xavian in their quaint home while his body heals & he rebuilds immunity, as they had to wipe out his immune system before surgery.

Xavian's surgery went well & recovery is going well so far. We're grateful for the silver linings there... Steven was there for the surgery & surgery went well.

Surgery was just 8 days ago & they're adapting to their new normal. Only for Steven to have another pancreas attack & get admitted to the hospital once again. As for now, doctors predict he'll be hospitalized longer this time & have discovered further & more serious complications caused by the pancreas cysts.

He was their only income & this completely disrupts their family life, as Xavian has to stay home (except for his follow up appointments in SLC.)

So, like I said earlier, they've been dealt some tough cards. I admire their strength & warrior attitudes as they face these challenges with faith & hope that everything will work out.

I'm asking anyone who can, please donate and share this campaign for the Beckleys & be part of the process of things working out for them.

Thank you & love to you all. ❤️
