Medical Expenses for Brian Bauer

Three years ago Brian Bauer was your average knuckle-headed college student. He was a volunteer assistant coach with the middle school football team at his alma mater, Alabama Christian Academy in Montgomery, Alabama. Enrolled at Faulkner University studying History planning to continue coaching and pursue a teaching career.

In the fall of 2021, things were going well until Brian began to lose weight without explanation. A phone call and a doctor's appointment were made. The next thing you know, he was being transported by ambulance to Children's Hospital in Birmingham, AL. there Brian was diagnosed with leukemia.

The next seven months were brutal. Five rounds of chemotherapy, spinal taps, countless procedures and shots but at the end...Brian was cancer free.

Brian had lost a considerable amount of weight and his body constantly hurt but he was finally able to return to his life as a college student.

Things were going well. He had the opportunity to travel, spend time with friends, and make new friends.

However, the one-year checkup revealed bad news: cancer had returned.

Once again, normal life had to be put on pause to focus on health issues.

Brian is currently a patient at Children's Hospital in Birmingham. He recently completed chemotherapy and is awaiting scheduling for a bone marrow transplant. After the transplant, he and a caregiver will need to live within 30 minutes of UAB for observation for 100 days.

The Financial Need

All donations will go to assist with medical, travel, food, and unexpected expenses related to his illness.
