Olivia's complex spine surgery

Hello my name is Olivia Clayton and I am 13 years old. I live with my Mum, Dad, my dog Onyx and my four cats. Tinkerbelle is my favorite cat she is always sitting on my knee meowing at me. In my free time I love to play video games with my friends, my favorite game is Fortnite at the moment. I suffer from spinal muscular atrophy type 2, I have had it all my life and it causes me a lot of discomfort and pain. Over my life my condition has been getting worse, my spine curvature has increased making my back brace rub on my back causing pressure sores. Over night I use a ventilator to help me breath it gives me small cuts on my face where the tubing rubs even though it does make me feel refreshed in the morning. I have been using it for the past 6 months and without my spinal surgery I am going to have to use it for the rest of my life. To fix my spine I need complex spinal surgery, I am currently on the waiting list to have the operation but unfortunately I have already been waiting two years and the doctors are still unable to give me a date of when it could be. I really want to be able to enjoy high school and my teenage years without having to wait for my operation. To get the surgery done privately it will cost £50,000 which is way too much for my parents to afford even with all our friends and family helping. So please can you help my family afford my operation. Any amount will really help and I will really appreciated.
