Help Enzo & the Leone family face Kidney Failure

This page is run by Enzo's aunts, Debbie Leone & Korissa Matta to support our 8 year-old nephew, Enzo, his parents, Sloan & Alex, and his little sister, Gianna.

On September 6th, Enzo went in for his regular, yearly check up. He hadn't grown as expected, so his pediatrician ordered bloodwork. When labs came back "very abnormal," Sloan & Alex rushed him to Boston Children's Hospital for further testing. Enzo spent the next 3 days in the hospital to stabilize his electrolytes while Sloan & Alex prepared to take on a difficult treatment plan to manage Enzo’s new diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease.

Devastatingly, their follow-up appointment revealed that Enzo has End Stage Renal Disease (kidney failure) and will need a kidney transplant in the very near future.

Enzo has spent the past two weeks in the hospital and is currently undergoing dialysis 3x weekly while he & his family await a plan of action for the transplant.

At this point, our priority is to offset the already mounting medical bills & unanticipated travel costs Sloan & Alex are facing.

We also hope that this fund will supplement where FMLA and sick pay fall short and help maintain a sense of normalcy for Enzo's family, especially his 4 year-old sister, Gianna.

As of 9/30, the hospital has received 60 applications to be screened for living organ donation. You all are amazing! For now, I’ve pulled the link to register, but if no match is found for Enzo, I will post it again.

A huge thanks from all of us, you’ve already made such generous commitments to Enzo!
