Helping Hayden and his Family
Donation protected
Friends and Family. I’m asking for some help, please. This is Hayden and his mom Larissa. He is my friends son and she is my friends wife. They are a local family and they live here in Dufferin County. Hayden has spent most of his three years at Sick Kids. He is currently living with no kidneys, having had both removed. He has undergone 14 surgeries, is currently undergoing dialysis six days a week, and is awaiting a kidney transplant from his aunt, whom is a living donor. Their most recent stay at SickKids has been five months straight, away from home, away from Daddy, away from work, holding on to hope.
Additionally, my request to you all….can we please all rally together and flood them with things to help make them smile, and to keep Hayden and mom occupied during their days stuck inside and during his dialysis? I’m asking for local families and businesses to donate anything they can that might help make them smile, distract them for even a few minutes from this reality. I know times are tough for many right now, but this local family is enduring things that most of us will never have to endure. My heart has broken many times for them. Can you help? Send me a PM on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/chris.fast.5/
Some things of interest after talking to Dad:
Hayden: Loves the wiggles, blues clues, trucks, tractors, bubbles, and could definitely use an iPad, or anything else that a little boy with love.
Larissa/Mom: she loves to draw, paint and read. She could use bath products, flowers, comfy PJs, food delivery gift cards, and she loves Timothy tea and coffee, and anything else you think would keep her happy, amused and occupied during all of this.
Danielle/Aunt/Living Donor/Real life hero: I’m sure she would appreciate flowers, relaxing bath stuff during her recovery, and she is also 23 years old and is saving for a car and paying off student loans.
Pm me for details on where to send things, and/or I will facilitate getting things to them.
Hayden’s kidney transplant was scheduled for last week, however due to a Covid close-contact by one of the staff members, the surgery was cancelled while his aunts surgery had already started. She awoke to the news that he was not given one of her kidneys, heartbroken and upset, devastated and scared of her nephews fate, having spent weeks away from work in quarantine before the surgery. She now faces a few more weeks in recovery, out of work, and will have to do it all again when it is safe to operate and perform the hopefully life-saving transplant. Now Hayden and mom received negative covid tests and now are back living at Ronald McDonald house, waiting for word of when the surgery might be able to happen (which will be at least a 6week wait). Needless to say, this family is devastated, scared, stretched to the brink, and trying to keep their heads up. They have been reluctant to ask for money, but as we all know, times are tough, and their circumstances are stretching them very thin.
