Alicia cranial and spinal surgery Fund

Hi, my name is Alicia. I am running this fundraiser to pay for a surgery which involves a craniectomy, neck fusion to reattach my skull to my spine, and repair of bulging disc's in my cervical spine.

On September 18th 2019 around 11:30am I fell victim to a 70mph head on collision with a tree in northern Minnesota. While I was a sleeping passenger, the driver fell asleep at the wheel causing said accident. 

After 2 long and painful years in Minnesota having doctors tell me there's nothing wrong with me, my family moved to Montana for more hope and to be closer to family. Here we found a chiropractor (Stacy Livingston) that led my family and I to a neurosurgeon, Dr. Joel Franck in Oldsmar Florida.

My mom and I traveled to see doctor Franck to confirm the worst. My brain is sinking into my spinal column putting pressure on my spinal cord, multiple bulged disc's, and a mass on my artery pushing into my spinal cord as well. So, my brain falling and that mass are sandwiching my spinal cord.

This surgery will not only give me my life back but will also take away the risk of losing my life.

It will take away the horrible pain I live with every day as well as the pain it causes my family to see me living through this.
