I had managed to dissuade Liza and the others from holding an online auction to raise money for Wyatt, but they wanted to do something. Not just Liza but also Bigboots, Satansplushy, Martinimama, and a few others. They were all SAHMs, like me—Stay At Home Moms. But many of them used to be Work Hard in Office Moms (WHOMs, I called them), and they liked a project. They loved a cause. The moms had decided to raise money in honor of Wyatt and to donate it to the hospital where he’s being treated. Because the privacy of our children is so important to Topher and me, I explained that I couldn’t reveal the name of our hospital. But, I offered, Boston Children’s Hospital has arguably the foremost research team working on disorders related to myelomeningocele, which is what Wyatt has. It’s a rare form of spina bifida. Very rare. I suggested that if they wanted to raise money, they could give it to Boston Children’s. Within hours of my posting this, the week before, a GoFundMe account had been set up.
