Ezra Toczek, a 5-year-old from Alden diagnosed with end-stage liver disease, is preparing for a life-saving transplant this summer. His mother, Karen Tozek, shared the family’s emotional journey, from the shock of his diagnosis to the logistical challenges of managing his care. The Alden community has rallied around Ezra, organizing a fundraiser that deeply moved the family. The support of students and the school district has been overwhelming.
