In Support of Inti's Journey

Inti's Journey
Help Inti Access the Intensive Therapies He Needs

When you meet Inti, the first thing you’ll notice is his smile. What you don’t see is the hard road he’s been on. He was born full term, but started having seizures at four months and was diagnosed with polymicrogyria, and most recently with cerebral palsy. 
Inti is now months away from turning 2 years old, and I’m so proud of how hard he’s worked and how far he’s come. Due to his disability, Inti has severe global developmental delays, requires assistance with mobility, and is G-tube dependent for his nutrition.

As his mom, I have been navigating all of this largely on my own. Inti’s father is currently in Ecuador and has not yet had the opportunity to meet his son. We are working hard to bring him to the United States so we can finally be together, but until that is possible, I’ve had to leave my job in order to provide the full-time care  Inti needs, leaving us with very limited financial resources.

We’re raising funds for intensive therapies, costly therapy and treatments:

  • DMI (Dynamic Movement Intervention). Each intensive is approximately $8,000 before travel, and Inti is recommended to participate in intensives every 3–4 months.
  • Muse stem cell therapy, an emerging treatment being explored for neurological conditions and intended to support the brain’s ability to develop and recover. The estimated cost is approximately $15,000 before travel.

The costs are big, but so is our hope for him. We are doing everything we can for Inti, but we cannot do this alone. 

Your support can help Inti access the therapies our family otherwise may not be able to afford. Whether you donate, share his story, or simply keep this sweet, smiley little boy in your thoughts, you are helping us continue to fight for every opportunity Inti deserves.

Thank you for being with us.
