Stem cell transplant for my brother
Donation protected
Hi my name is Tyler and I am doing this fundraiser for my mother ( Barb) and my brother (Cory). My brother needs a Stem cell transplant after suffering from a rare disease called Shwachman Diamond syndrome all his life. Cory has had a life full of hospital appointment and and a life of horrible tests and sickness. This last week we found out Cory has 2 different types of cancer and now has to travel to Princess Margaret hospital in Toronto to receive a stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant). He has been through so much in his life.
My mother (Barb) has had a very tough road with her 3 guys in her life. In 2020 she stood by her husband (my Stepdad of 30 years) Emilio after a heart attack, he needed a double bypass 5 surgeries later he is still suffering from a terrible drug resistant infection. My mother by his side at every point through it all.
I (Tyler) have not made it any easier on my Mom at 18 after an attack started having clinic tonic seizures eventually leading to brain surgery to remove my left temporal lobe. My mother always by my side through it all.
My brother now facing the worst outcome of any cancer needs my Mother by his side during this life altering situation. My brother can not face this without the love and comfort of our angel Mother. Our family has suffered so many terrible situations and my Mother has been our rock, and comfort throughout all and every situation. My Mother has never complained and always goes above and beyond to try and make our lives the best they can be. She has also never asked for anything and is always there for anyone needing help.
It is now my turn to try and help my Mother and brother. They will not be able to work during any of these procedures and will need to be in Toronto for quite some time. We live in London Ontario. This will be a very expensive thing and our family is not financially able to sustain this without help!
