LUCAS & TRAVIS
Meet Lucas and Travis!
Twin brothers, Lucas and Travis were born with Crouzon syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects the growth of the skull and face.
Their journey has been a long one, filled with visits to specialists, countless appointments, major craniofacial surgeries, and extended hospital stays.
For the twins' mother, Bailey, getting her boys the best possible care was never in question. The cost of doing so was another story.
“As their mother, there has never been a question of whether I would get them where they needed to be.
You simply do it. You get in the car, make the drive, sit beside the hospital bed, hold their hand, and figure everything else out later.
But “later” can become incredibly expensive.”
Over months and years of treatment, those expenses added up quickly: tanks of gas, meals on the road, and trip after trip to appointments. That's where FACES stepped in.
Bailey shares what that support has meant to her family:
“Because of their assistance, I haven't had to carry the financial weight of those trips alone. At the end of an already long and exhausting medical day, knowing that the expense of simply getting my children there is being lifted from my shoulders means more than I can adequately put into words.
Most importantly, it is knowing that somewhere outside of the hospital rooms, operating rooms, and miles traveled, there are people who have decided that families like ours should not have to navigate these journeys alone."
"You may never meet the families your generosity helps, but families like mine feel the impact of it. From Lucas, Travis, and me - Thank you. Thank you to FACES for walking alongside our family through this journey, and thank you to every donor who makes their work possible.
We will never forget the people who helped carry us along the way. And FACES will forever be part of our boys' story”
— Bailey Myrick, mom to Lucas, Travis, and JT
