Tristan Kaminer and a Disease With No Name #FiveDollarFriday

Hey gang. Last week I was contacted by Ask Your Dad reader, Caleb Kaminer. His adorable daughter, Tristan, has a disease so rare that it doesn't even have a name. Basically, everything she eats or drinks goes into her lungs instead of her stomach. They've been working with doctors around the country to try and find a cure. Here is their story.





For this week's Five Dollar Friday, I chipped in to help Caleb and his wife pay for their mounting medical bills. So far, they haven't reached their $10,000 dollar goal. Let's see what we can do to help them continue to work to find a cure for their adorable daughter. Sharing their story helps just as much as chipping in. Thanks for your help! Have a great weekend!

  1. Everything goes into her lungs (down the tracea) instead of the stomach (down the esophogus), right?
    Man... I have a friend who also has a child with a neurological disorder... no one knows why she has seizures. :( Testing like crazy for years.

    2. PANDAS causes seizures and is really undetected by the medical community.
