FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
13 Year Old Boy Needs Disability Benefits
HOUSTON, TX, August 25, 2015
- A disabled 13 year old boy is in desperate need of receiving
disability benefits. Mason has been the victim of a life-threatening
medical condition. Mason has CHARGE syndrome. He has had this since he
was born. This syndrome has left him to endure numerous medical issues.
Mason
is only 13 years old. He has already endured well over 20 operations.
He has spent a large part of his life in the hospital. This has proven
to be very costly for his family. There has been one challenge after
another that is difficult to endure.
This life-threatening
medical condition has left Mason without the ability to drink or
actually eat. He is fed every two hours. He must be fed through his
stomach with the use of a tube. He does have a heart condition. He is
also deaf. He does not have the ability to communicate with others and
he also suffers from intellectual retardation. When he was younger he
used to vomit approximately 50 times per day. When he turned two years
old, he had actually thrown up all day and all night long. He has begun
to have epileptic seizures. Mason may not be left unsupervised. He needs
a caregiver. If this family cannot get him a caretaker then he is
certain to die.
There are no disability benefits being granted
even though Mason is a severely disabled young man. The Disabilities
Services has named Mason as one of the most severely disabled. There is
no funding available that will provide this young man and his family
with aid to ensure that he is taken care of. This is a large expense for
this family and it is hard to believe that benefits were not made
available and granted.
CHARGE Syndrome is a genetic condition.
This syndrome has numerous similar identifiable traits that have been
discovered in children. These traits affect many areas within the human
body. CHARGE actually stands for: Coloma of the eye; Heart defects;
Retardation of growth or development; Genital or urinary abnormalities
and ear abnormalities along with deafness.
