3-Year-Old Ayden Brown, Whose Lung Cancer Story Raised Over $250,000, Has Died of the Disease (Details, pics)

Mother of ailing three years old boy Ayden Brown,  whose lung cancer story raises over $250,000 ha announced the departure of the kid.

Licari detailed why she decided to make her son’s struggle public. According to her, she wanted everyone to know the trauma and be educated about the horrors of childhood cancer.

“I knew if this disease was going to take Ayden, everybody in the world would know who my son is,” she also said in the FB Live video. “Everybody will know Ayden Setoshi Brown. He was three years old. He could tell you every planet in the solar system. He was phenomenally smart and he loved me so much and I loved him too. He didn’t deserve to die.”

Ayden Brown’s story initially captured national attention in August when it was first reported by Fox 5 in Las Vegas. A GoFundMe page was set up earlier this month to help with medical expenses and has so far raised over $260,000.

Initially, doctors predicted the young boy would only survive for three weeks, however Ayden fought past that point. The money has gone to great use as it was able to cover all of Brown’s medical expenses, including in-home medical equipment, bills and even rent so that his mother is able to stay in peace with her son.

"Help poured in from every way you can think of and we got help from a herbal doctor as well as other moms who've gone through this," Licari said to Fox 5 in October. "To have the resources that were made available to us, it made it easier, and now we can pay our rent. I can stay with Ayden."

Initially, Ayden Brown was treated in Arizona.
