Chris is currently a University of Buffalo student studying civil engineering. As well as a taekwondo, instructor in his local Buffalo community, we are seeking donations to get a second opinion to get him to Boston the money raised will help with accommodations and travel expenses not to mention any additional medical expenses the trip would incur. Please help us help him find the best possible treatment and care. Any Conribution no matter how small will make a signifigcant differance in his journey towards recovery. We are only at the begininging of this journey as his cousin I'm trying to help during this challenging time. Let us come together as a community and rally behind Christopher and his family as he fights this battle Thank you in advance for all your generosity and support.
