Deer Park Children Hold Lemonade Sale to Help Raise Money For Boy Who Needs Seizure Dog

Submitted by Denise Costa

On Sunday, Gabby (11), Dommi (10), Amanda(11), Megan(7) and Luke (5) held a lemonade sale in Deer Park to raise money to donate for Mikey’s seizure dog. The children spent 5 hours selling lemonade knowing with every car that stopped it was a little closer to MJ getting his seizure dog. It is nice to see children wanting to help another child so much. They raised close to $130 and will be donating via MJ’s GoFundMe page.

Thank you to all who stopped whether it was because you were passing by or saw it posted on facebook and made a special trip just to donate or just opted to make a donation. Mikey (MJ) is a 6-year-old from Deer Park who suffers from a rare condition called Arnold Chiari Malformation, a condition that affects the brain. MJ suffers daily from seizures and his family was told by his doctors that he should have a seizure dog. Unfortunately insurance does not cover it.

We need to raise the money for him. He’s a great boy, who loves to have fun but is limited because he gets so many seizures which completed wipes him out and then suffers from terrible headaches. He just a little boy who wants to enjoy life.
