JACKSON - Feature Member

This week, we are doing something a little bit different for our Feature Member.  We are featuring a boy named Jackson.  












A happy and sweet 9yr old boy, Jackson loves jumping on his trampoline, navigating the iPad, playing with his siblings, and of course his passion is trains.


Jackson is diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy (ESES), Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder.  


With a cortical dysplasia malformation of the left side of his brain and constant subclinical seizures, it was determined in May 2012 that the only way to combat his rare form of Epilepsy is through a drastic brain surgery called a Hemispherectomy.  


Jackson underwent surgery on 30th June 2012 where they disconnected the left hemisphere from the right, to keep the right healthy.  


Jackson's Journey is shared on a blog CLICK HERE




How can YOU help? 

There are quite a few different options that I am going to copy from another blog Living with Logan.


1. Draw pictures, make rainbows, send a card or write him a letter.  All of these will be displayed in his hospital room to brighten it up.  They can be sent to: 


Special Happens / St. Aubin Family
9609 S. University Blvd. #630303
Littleton, CO 80163-0303



If you live internationally, you can email your creation to ihelpsnkids@gmail.com and we will print it out and post it.

2. Make a donation via his rally.org page - CLICK HERE TO DONATE

3. You can send gift cards for gas, groceries and restaurants, because food at home and hospital, and transportation are not optional.  

You can find all the links in one spot on this blog wonderfully written by Living with Logan.

You can also get updates via Jackson's Journey on the Facebook page.
