Adrian is a 16-year-old boy from Santa Rosa, CA who was diagnosed with Chronic lung disease cerebral palsy, uncontrollable seizures, nonverbal, and non-ambulatory in June of 2008.

Adrian was born healthy and happy but suffered severe injuries due to shaken baby syndrome inflicted by his biological father. Hospitalized for over 35 days, Adrian's mother had to learn to care for him as he developed CVI, a G-tube placement, and controllable seizures.

He experienced cerebral bleeds, forgetting basic functions like swallowing and eating. He had retinal detachment, bleeding behind the eyes, and bleeding in the brain, leading to life-threatening seizures. His mother, alongside him for the entire hospitalization and rehabilitation, faced immense challenges adjusting to caring for a changed Adrian.

Meanwhile, his mom was diagnosed with cancer two years ago, adding to the family's hardships. Adrian's brothers struggled with their mental health due to the uncertainty of losing Adrian and their mother. Adrian requires full-time care indefinitely, and his family lives cautiously to ensure his safety and well-being.

That is why we are on a mission to raise $5000 to fund a DREAM trip for Adrian and his family to Disneyland—providing them with the chance to craft cherished moments in a serene and special atmosphere, filled with warmth and love!

Zayden is a 15-year-old boy from Bakersfield, California who was diagnosed with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Philadelphia +) in October 2022.

Before his diagnosis, Zayden was excited to start high school and had plans to attend a new school where his grandma taught. He enjoyed skateboarding with friends, attended music concerts with his mom and grandpa, and had just started boxing classes. Zayden also loved music, collected records, enjoyed computer work and gaming, and had a strong interest in history.

However, Zayden's life took a turn when he experienced weight loss, stomach pain, and nausea. Numerous visits to urgent care, and the pediatrician didn't provide answers. During a trip to Colorado, severe stomach pain led to an emergency department visit, revealing lab results that indicated leukemia. He was then transferred to Valley Children’s in Madera, where further tests confirmed pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Philadelphia +).

His treatment has been challenging, marked by many ups and downs. He began chemotherapy and faced various complications, including infections, pneumonia, liver failure, heart issues, and malnutrition, which necessitated extended hospital stays. His treatment plan frequently changed to meet his specific needs.

Zayden's cancer diagnosis had a profound impact on their single-parent family. They received support from friends and grandparents. Zayden's older brother, Andy, took emergency leave from the military to be with him, while his younger brother, Graham, stayed with his grandparents and his father. Zayden's mom took medical leave during hospital stays, and the hospital's distance prevented him from spending time with his friends.

A dream trip would bring immense joy to Zayden and provide a welcome distraction from his illness. It represents a positive focus for him, offering the opportunity to experience the world outside a hospital room and helping him feel "normal" again. It's also a special chance for their family to create cherished memories together.

That is why we are on a mission to raise $5,000 to fund a special trip for Zayden and his family to Disney World and Give Kids the World. This journey will provide them with the opportunity to build happy new memories in a different environment, away from the challenges they've been facing!
