Mom's Plea: Stolen Purse Held Son's Life-Saving Meds
10 Oct
Summary
- Mother's purse containing life-saving medication was stolen from son's wheelchair.
- The stolen medication is crucial for preventing seizures in a 3-year-old boy.
- A community member has offered to donate $2,000 to replace the stolen medicine.
A Dallas mother is desperately seeking the return of her stolen purse, which contained vital medication for her 3-year-old son. The purse was taken from the child's wheelchair on Tuesday evening at the Texas State Fair while the mother briefly attended to her other son.
Devin, the 3-year-old, has a terminal brain tumor and is currently in hospice care. The stolen medication, valued at nearly $2,000, is essential for preventing seizures. The theft has left his mother, Kayla Price, deeply concerned about managing his condition without it.
Following the incident, Price filed a police report. In a show of community support, an individual associated with the "Everybody Loves Everybody" movement has pledged to donate $2,000 to help replace the critical medication. This comes after Price had previously started a GoFundMe in July to aid with Devin's medical expenses.
