A parent’s worst nightmare is to see their child suffer and not being able to do anything about it. This reality rung true in a recent case of flu infection in a 4 year old boy, who contracted a very rare disease from flu termed acute necrotizing encephalitis, a disease that affects children and infants, where there are only around 300 cases documented in the world. Acute necrotizing encephalitis is a disease that is caused by gastrointestinal or respiratory infection that leads to severe symptoms such as high fevers, vomiting, rapid neurologic decline, seizures, and different levels of liver disorder severity. And the worst part is, the boy, Andre, has only been given a 30% chance to live.
Despite the odds that are stacked against Andre, he has battled courageously for months now, but continued therapy in the hospital is key to improving and ensuring that Andre has a chance to beat this thing. There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to afford treatment that could potentially save a loved one’s life, especially a child’s life. Kamareia, Andre’s mom, says that she cannot afford this therapy, and although Chronic Tacos from Fresno has already committed itself to giving 20% of its total sales for the treatment, more money is direly needed. So if anyone of you has a dollar to spare, please, let’s help Andre beat this so he can live his full life. Share this on Facebook, Twitter, wherever, spread the news, spread the life.
