Hello blessed people. This is a fundraiser for my son Alexander Gross and our family. My son, Alexander, only 16yrs of age and a student at CFHS has a brain tumor. It is such a rare form that only 2 hospitals that they have found will even consider treatments. One in Houston, Texas and one in Israel. Here are more details from Jenner...

Alexander is his name, he is 16 and is a student over at CFH, he is in 11th grade his sister is also at CFH her name is Adrianna she is in 9th grade. Over Christmas brake he had 3 grand mall impressive seizures all within an our of each other. He was rushed to CMC and from there they did a cat scan and an MRI to find he had a mass on the right side of his brain. CMC called MUSC and they airlifted him there for a few days to get his seizures under control. One week after that they did a functional MRI that was about 4 hours long to determine what this mass was doing in his brain. On Jan. 3rd he had surgery to try and remove this now tumor they called it and he had a full craniotomy and they removed most of the tumor. When we went back to MUSC to get the pathology report to see what type of tumor it was they told us it was glioblastoma H3K27M+ . This is the worst type of tumor to have and there is not a cure for it yet and radiation and chemo basically do absolutely nothing to it. We have spent weeks looking for a trial for him to start all over the US and everyplace we called told us that there where no trials for his age at this time....... however there was one hospital that did listen to our prayers and got a verbal ok from the FDA to do a trial on him and that hospital is Huston Methodist in Texas. We are here as I speak waiting to speak with the dr's. Our only other option is to go to Israel if this hospital doesn't work out cause they also want to speak with us. Please keep praying for my son....... On February 22 Alexander was taken by medical flight from South Carolina to Houston Texas. On February 26, 2020 Alexander had a second brain surgery that was much more extensive then the first on January 3. 2020. Alexander is currently going to radiation 5 times a week and has chemo every day.

Please please pray, like, share and donate anything that you feel for this family!!! The travel, time off work, and trial procedure (which will cost over $100k), all add up to being a big big financial burden.
