Donate to Join Sebastian's Battle Against Unknown Illness, organized by Erika Bernardini

Sebastian Edward Bernardini is a four year old #TinySuperHero living in central Florida with an "unknown" disorder that affects his every day life, his cognitive function, his ability to eat food by mouth like a normal toddler.. #heavymetaltoxicity #gidisorders #neurodisorder #endrocrinedisorder #flattenedpituitary #autismawareness #nonverbal #gtubeawareness #gtubekids #gtubebabies Dear kind souls, My name is Erika, and I find myself reaching out to you with a heart heavy yet hopeful, a tale woven with the threads of love and anguish. For within the fabric of our lives, there lies a precious soul, my beloved Sebastian, affectionately known as Bashy B. Sebastian Edward Bernardini entered this world on a crisp January day in 2020, a beacon of joy illuminating our lives with his presence. (It also happened to be his Papa's birthday.) His arrival brought forth a symphony of hope and dreams, a promise of a future brimming with possibilities. Little did we know, within the tender folds of his innocence, lay a journey fraught with trials and tribulations, a path laden with uncertainty and adversity. As the world around us swirled with chaos, Sebastian's laughter filled our home, a melody of pure delight that danced amidst the shadows of uncertainty. With each passing day, our darling Bashy B grew, his spirit vibrant and his heart pure. Yet, beneath his radiant exterior, a silent storm brewed, threatening to engulf our world in its tempestuous embrace. The days unfolded into months, and Sebastian's once hearty appetite waned, replaced by the cruel specter of illness that lurked within his fragile frame. Despite our fervent prayers and tireless efforts, his tiny form became a battleground, a battleground where hope waged war against despair, and love stood as our guiding light amidst the encroaching darkness. In the midst of our trials, we embarked on a journey, a journey that led us to the sun-kissed shores of Florida, a land of newfound promise and fleeting respite. Yet, even amidst the tranquil beauty of our new home, Sebastian's affliction persisted, a relentless foe that refused to yield to our pleas for mercy. Days turned into nights, and nights into weeks, as we stood vigil by Sebastian's side, our hearts heavy with worry and fear. The halls of hospitals became our second home, their sterile embrace offering little solace in the face of our son's suffering. It was during one such hospital stay that we received news that shattered the fragile veneer of hope that had sustained us thus far. Sebastian's tiny body bore the burden of heavy metals, silent sentinels of toxicity that ravaged his delicate constitution. In the wake of this revelation, our world crumbled, as the weight of uncertainty bore down upon us with an unrelenting force. Yet, even amidst the darkness that threatened to consume us, a flicker of hope remained, a beacon of light that illuminated our path forward. For in the depths of despair, we found solace in the unwavering support of our community, a community bound together by love and compassion. With each passing day, Sebastian's journey continues, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love to overcome even the greatest of adversities. And though the road ahead may be fraught with challenges, we walk it with heads held high, guided by the unwavering belief that love will always prevail. As we stand on the precipice of uncertainty, we humbly reach out to you, dear friends, with a plea for help and support. For in your kindness lies the promise of a brighter tomorrow, where Sebastian's laughter will once again ring out amidst the gentle whispers of hope. Thank you, from the depths of our hearts, for your love, your prayers, and your unwavering support. Together, we will stand strong, united in our resolve to see Sebastian through his darkest hour and into the light of a new dawn. With heartfelt gratitude, Erika and the Bernardini Family
