This past Saturday we were able to celebrate and support one of our own- Parker Elliston + her parents at her second annual “Claws for a Cause”
Parker and Annie were both home napping by the time we got to take a photo 🤍☺️
Mom Alexis has been helping the foundation for the last 6 months especially during heart month as Parker is a heart warrior!
Read more about Parker’s story below. We would love to collect donations through ALF for the Elliston family to directly pay medical bills with the series of surgeries this sweet girl has coming up! Donations can be made on our website main giving page and noted “Parker”
“Parker is a 2-year-old Symes amputee, and she has undergone 18 surgeries in her short life, from open heart surgery, spinal surgery, colonic procedures, amputation, and ileostomy placement. Parker is currently living with an ileostomy while we allow her intestines and colon to hopefully heal. We will begin retesting this upcoming June to evaluate our next steps.
Parker continues to struggle with staying healthy through normal colds and viruses, resulting in frequent admissions to manage her ileostomy, fevers, and hydration. Parker has a duplex kidney and abnormal bladder conditions, resulting in recurrent UTIs that we are continuing to struggle to find an answer for. Each UTI is more aggressive, more resistant to antibiotics, and leads us back to the hospital.
We would love to have you join us to celebrate the journey Parker has already fought through and to help us encourage her as we continue to fight for our strong girl”.
