Alyssa's Microtia-Artresia surgery
Donation protected
Alyssa is 4 years old and was born with rare birth defect called microtia and atresia. This means her right external ear and ear canal did not develop. With extensive studies the good news is she has all the internal organs needed to hear. She will now need surgeries to give her optimal hearing.
This journey will consist of 2 separate surgeries. The first will be to form an ear canal . We need to travel to Palo Alto, California. This surgery will take 3-5 hours to form the ear canal. We will then be in Palo Alto for 4 weeks for follow up appointments. Three months later we will have to travel to Los Angeles, California. This surgery will be the formation of her external ear, and will take 5-6 hours. Afterwords, we will be in Los Angeles for 2-4 weeks for follow up appointments.
Both clinics are requiring us to pay up front the full cost of the surgeries. We will also have the expenses of travel, and lodging for these extended stays. Any assistance we are able to receive is a blessing and extremely appreciated.
Please help Alyssa on her journey. All she wants is for her "ears to match," and to hear.
Our goal is to have 8,500 people donate $10.00
So please pass this on to everyone you know.
Thank You Very Much!
