In 2008, Adrian's Mom faced an unimaginable nightmare when her sweet baby boy, Adrian, just six months old, was struck by tragedy. She had to bid farewell to the child she once knew—full of giggles, learning to crawl, and tasting the wonders of baby food. Instead, their lives were torn apart by a devastating ordeal of severe head trauma, internal skull bleeds, and collapsed lungs, all inflicted by Adrian's own father in a heart-wrenching act of child abuse and neglect.

As a result, Adrian's once bright eyes were now clouded by uncontrollable seizures, cerebral palsy, and a host of other debilitating conditions. Doctors painted a grim picture of his future—blindness, non-verbal communication, and the inability to walk. Their world shattered into a million pieces as they faced the harsh reality of caring for a child with profound disabilities.

The path ahead was fraught with uncertainty and anguish, as they grappled with the harsh realities of Adrian's condition. Each day was a battle, marked by countless hospital visits, endless medical procedures, and the heartache of watching her beloved son suffer. In the blink of an eye, their lives were forever altered, and the innocence of Adrian's infancy was stolen by an act of unspeakable cruelty.

Each day brought fresh waves of anguish, as she witnessed her precious son's suffering amidst a whirlwind of hospital visits and medical treatments. And as if their burden was not heavy enough, fate dealt yet another cruel blow—Adrian's Mom was diagnosed with stage 3 abdominal cancer in 2010, spreading to her liver by 2014, necessitating a grueling liver transplant and the removal of tumors.

For Adrian's Mom, every day was a testament to the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child —a love that knows no bounds and endures through the darkest of times.

Together, let us write a new chapter in their story—one filled with laughter, love, and the promise of brighter days ahead. With every dollar raised, we can help Adrian and his family embark on a journey of healing and renewal

— We are on a mission to raise $5000 to send Adrian and his Family to Disneyland, where the magic of childhood DREAMS awaits!
