Make Dawson's Heartfelt Wish Come True
Donation protected
My name is Kristina I am Dawson's Mom, and I'm here to tell his story. Imagine being a newborn, just 6 days old weighing only 4lbs 8oz and having your first of many open heart surgeries. Dawson was born with a life threatening heart condition Dextrocardia Heterotaxy syndrome. (Which is his heart is on the right side of his chest and upside down) his heart also has 3 large holes that were too big to repair. Dawson has endured multiple open heart surgeries over the past 18 years in attempt to help his heart function more efficiently, while he waited for a heart transplant. Each surgery posted it's own complications that included weeks and months at Motts Children's Hospital. Through Dawson's journey and all the setbacks, Dawson has remained positive, happy and has always lived life to the fullest. He is the biggest jokster and always has a smile on his face. Through all of this Dawson still managed to attend Gull Lake Community Shools and is now in the 11th grade and many people know him well and know his story. At Dawson's most recent check-up the doctors did a heart stress test and have delivered some very difficult news related to future hopes of transplant. We were told that Dawson's heart isn't strong enough to sustain transplant or any other heart surgeries, that there is no more they can do for Dawson becides medication to prolong life. They were not able to give a time frame just said they simply couldn't say but that his heart and body could only take so much, and to focus on making Dawson happy. With Dawson's condition he has been limited on the activities he can do, which includes gaming, hunting deer, and riding quads. One of Dawson's big wishes is to have a smaller side by side that fits him well. Originally we were going for a youth size but after reviewing them we found it wasnt equipped with things Dawson would need like power steering and 4x4. I placed a pic of the one of his dreams. he loves riding trails and being outdoors. Please help us make this wish come true for a very very deserving young man who deserves the world. When we raise the money we will take Dawson to go pick out his dream side by side, and take a ton of pictures for everyone to see his joy!
