Help with Recovery, Loss of Income After Wife\'s CSF Leak Skull Surgery

I am raising money for my wife\'s recovery after her surgery to repair a Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leak from somewhere in her skull and out of her ear.  She has stumped all the specialists and is scheduled for exploratory surgery April 20th. She is in danger of meningitis and brain infection. Hopefully they can find the source of the brain/spinal fluid leak and successfully repair it.

The money collected will go towards the loss of income she and I (her husband) will lose during the operation and unknown recovery time. She has already exhausted her sick days at her job caring for her sister with advanced ovarian cancer.  We have 2 young children who need child care during some of this time.  Coincidentally my income has decreased greatly, and we were already behind the 8 ball financially as Colleen finished school, and now is certified as a Special Education Teacher! And let\'s not talk about how much work the van needs just to feel reliable.  We just seem to be running out of steam as we approach the finish line of this 3.5 yr. marathon. 

Any little bit helps and we are filled with gratitude already by the help and support of our community. 

Supporters can also help by sharing this link to those they think would be interested.  Meals during this time and playdates would also be helpful.

Many thanks to any and all of you.  This is the first time we\'ve done this and it feels a bit strange.  We are humbled.
