Hi, my name is Chastitie Crane. I am the mother of Gavin. I’m trying to raise money for my son Gavin to put him in a better place, a more comfortable normalcy. Gavin was born in 2016 with one of the rarest types of congenital heart diseases. He was born with his stomach on the opposite side of most normal people, and he has cerebral palsy on his whole left side. He had 4 open-heart surgeries by the time he was 3. I lived at the hospital for two years after he was born. He is a Cardinal Glennon kiddo for sure.
So, since he has all these issues, it’s hard for us to live in the town we live in. In these older homes, they have mold, and because of his compromised immune system, he is literally sick 8 to 9 months of the year. He goes and gets cardiac caths done once a year for the rest of his life. I’m a single mother, and this is so hard on me. I’m asking for help for the first time in 9 years because now it’s been really hard; he’s sick again. I’ve never done this, and it’s my first time, but I want you to know our story. This life is hard and not cheap. I’m pretty much a stay-at-home mom because I’m the only one that can care for him correctly, and my income is not the greatest. We need help. Gavin deserves to be in a better situation. I’m asking for your help. Thank you for your time. If you’re reading this, I appreciate any gestures. Funds will be used to buy a home or build a home for gavin to have up to date air filtration and somewhere safe for him to live and medical expenses.
