Hi, I'm Alicia Tagle, and I set up this account to raise money for our good friends, Pat and Tarrah Hintz.  Their son, Robert (11), had a brain tumor when he was four and it was removed...he has had many health issues since...they just found out that there is another brain tumor (craniopharingyoma) and he will have this difficult surgery on February 17th...they are hoping the doctors will be able to get it all...the surgery will leave Robert with sodium diabetes, and he will have to have a spinal drain in his spine because the brain fluid will leak for the first few days after surgery...there is a much higher risk of "problems" from this surgery and he will be on a new medication several times a day on top of all the other meds he is already taking.

Robert is so sweet and positive...there are so many medical bills that I hope this account can help the family with. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading Robert's story and for any donation you can make...it is greatly appreciated!
