Our Mission

Brains With Backbone was created by friends and community members who believe that no family should face a medical battle alone.

Our mission is simple:

• Support Michonne, a devoted single mother, as she navigates her son Boston’s journey with epilepsy and complex medical care

• Raise awareness for epilepsy and its impact on individuals and families

• Create a transparent, community-first fundraiser built on trust, care, and accountability

Every decision we make is guided by compassion, integrity, and the belief that small actions — when taken together — make a real difference.
