Spencer Solves It: Family Overcomes Major Health Struggles with Their Baby Boy

Tessa Sveter and her husband Ryce have been fighting to give their baby boy, one-year-old Alistair, a better life ever since he was born in February 2023. Alistair was born with a rare condition called Neurocutaneous Melanosis, which causes large and multiple moles to appear on the body, face, and head. Some of the growths are on his brain, leading to seizures and difficulties with walking, speaking, and moving.

Despite the challenges, Tessa and Ryce are determined to provide for their son. However, Ryce lost his job six months ago due to spending too much time caring for Alistair. Although he recently found a new job, their family car broke down and needs costly repairs. Without the car, Ryce struggles to get to work and take Alistair to his doctor’s appointments, adding to their financial difficulties.

Tessa’s mother, Nicole, reached out to The Spencer Solves It team for help. Tonight at 6:00, Bill Spencer will begin the process of getting their car back in working order.
