Support for Garrett's Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Friends, Family, and Kind-hearted Supporters,

Garrett has recently been diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a rare and progressive genetic disorder that affects his muscles and overall mobility.

As we embark on this challenging journey, we find ourselves confronted with unexpected financial burdens that come with managing Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The nature of this condition demands ongoing medical expenses, specialized equipment, and various support services that are essential for Garrett's well-being and quality of life.

Your generous contributions will directly contribute to meeting the additional financial requirements we face, including:

Medical Expenses: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy necessitates regular medical check-ups, consultations with many different specialists, and the ongoing monitoring of Garrett's health. Your support will help cover these essential medical expenses.

Adaptive Equipment: To enhance Garrett's independence and comfort, we require adaptive equipment such as mobility aids, orthopedic devices, breathing machines, and assistive technologies. These tools are vital for ensuring he can navigate daily life with greater ease.

Travel Expenses for Medical Care: Seeking specialized medical care involves travel expenses, including transportation and meals. Your support will help us ensure that Garrett receives the best care available, regardless of location.

Prescriptions: DMD requires a tailored medical regimen of daily steroids. These prescriptions play a crucial role in managing symptoms, slowing the progression of the disease, and enhancing his overall quality of life.

Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy requires consistent physical therapy and rehabilitation sessions to maintain muscle strength and functionality. Your donations will contribute to these vital interventions that significantly impact Garrett's well-being. He has not started physical therapy yet but will be soon.

Home Modifications: As Garrett grows, we may need to adapt our home to accommodate his changing needs. This could include ramps, widened doorways, or other modifications to create a safe and accessible living space. Like physical therapy, this is a future expense.

No contribution is too small, and every dollar brings us one step closer to alleviating the financial strain that accompanies Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We are immensely grateful for your kindness, compassion, and support as we navigate this challenging journey with Garrett. Together, we can make a significant difference in his life.
