Hundreds of non-profits across the metroplex are gearing up for one of the most critical fundraising campaigns of the year, North Texas Giving Day.
North Texas brothers, Tanner and Caleb Roeseler, spend a lot of time at Children's Health for treatment for Cystic Fibrosis. "It doesn't only help kids like me and Caleb," said 15-year-old Tanner Roeseler."It can help multiple other kids. It can fund cures or medicines."
Caleb, who is 12-years-old, and Tanner both have a daily regime of pills, breathing treatments, and G-Tube feedings to deal with the disease that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. Their mom, Kiri Roeseler, feels the ticking of the clock. When Tanner was 5-years-old, his doctors told the family to start preparing for the end of his life. Instead, they chose to get a second opinion.
"It's changed everything, health wise," Kiri said."Our hospital is our second home, and the staff members are their family." "We have seen ourselves planning for more, and even our children are saying things that are bigger and further off in the future, and it's exciting to hear," said Kiri. Tanner's biggest dream is to reach old age, but with no guarantee, he'll continue to focus on the now. Children's Health says it needs your help to make life better for kids like Tanner and Caleb.
