Help My Sister Get the Surgery She Desperately Needs

Hello, my name is Aysia Jordan, and I am reaching out with an urgent plea for my 13-year-old sister, Jayla Jordan.

Jayla has scoliosis with a severe double curve in her spine. Without surgery, her condition will continue to worsen until it impacts her lungs and her ability to breathe.

Meet Jayla

Jayla is more than just a patient—she is a vibrant, passionate young girl who works incredibly hard to excel in everything she does.

  • Straight-A student who never misses school.
  • Dedicated athlete playing volleyball, basketball, and softball.
  • Competes on travel basketball and softball teams, with our family driving three hours each weekend so she can follow her dreams.
  • Stands out at 5’7” in 7th grade, already showing amazing athletic potential.
  • Loves her family, animals, and always puts others before herself.
Her dream is to play college basketball—but scoliosis is threatening to take it all away...

The Surgery That Can Save Her Future

We have found the only doctor in the world who can help her—Dr. Antonacci in New Jersey. He pioneered a groundbreaking scoliosis surgery that:

  • Preserves full mobility (unlike traditional rod fusion).
  • Avoids cutting through muscle.
  • Uses just two small incisions.
  • Allows patients to return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
Dr. Antonacci has reviewed Jayla’s case and believes she is the perfect candidate to heal fully and quickly.

The Financial Challenge

The surgery costs $65,000 out of pocket because insurance will not cover it. On top of that:

  • We are a one-income household.
  • Our father must take early retirement to access his retirement fund, meaning he will be out of work during this process.
  • We face travel and lodging costs in New Jersey for several weeks before and after the surgery.

How You Can Help

This is why we are turning to the kindness of others. Every donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward:

✔️ Surgery costs
✔️ Travel and lodging for our family
✔️ Recovery support

Your generosity can give Jayla the chance to:
✨ Live without pain
✨ Breathe freely
✨ Keep chasing her dreams on the basketball court

Time Is Critical

Her doctor believes now is the best moment for surgery while Jayla is still young and active. With your support, we can give her the healthy future she deserves.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, donating, and sharing. You are helping us change the course of Jayla’s life.
