Help support Avey's bone marrow treatments

For those of you who have met Avey, you already know he is one of a kind. Avey is 12 years old and is currently in 7th grade in Apple Valley, MN. His life revolves around soccer. He plays on two soccer teams and loves hanging out with his soccer buddies.

This September, Avey noticed a weird rash on his legs. That is where his current journey started. Shortly after finding the rash, Avey was hospitalized due to extremely low platelet levels. Avey has currently been in the hospital for a month. We have learned that he has an autoimmune disorder and bone marrow failure. Avey will be hospitalized for the next two months at the minimum.

They need to find an immune suppressant to wipe out the antibodies that are killing his platelets and his white blood cells. Once they start killing the antibodies and his other cells come back, he will be healthy enough to get chemo. Then, he will get chemo for five days and then they will do the bone marrow transplant. They will know about three weeks after the transplant, if the new bone marrow has taken to his body. Then he can go home but will need to be with an adult 24 hours a day for 100 days.

During this time he will have daily clinic appointments. Mom (Anna) has been his primary caregiver over the past month and will continue to be. Due to this, she is unable to work.
