<div>My name is Patrick Smith, my daughter is Naila Smith and my son is Ikem Smith.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>My wife, Ealane, has a brain tumor. This type is called a Craniopharyngioma. </strong>That is Ealane Livingston-Smith. Her fellow Wolmerians knew her as Ealane Livingston. As a result of the tumor, she has been hospitalized at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) in Jamaica for at least a month now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To save her life, she needs specialized neurosurgery called Skull Base Surgery. This type of surgery is not available in Jamaica.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dr. Robert Starke at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, USA has decided to take her case after examining her MRI. Dr. Robert Starke will work with a team of Specialists either at the University of Miami Skull Base Centre or Jackson Memorial Skull Base Centre.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have not received a quote for the Doctors’ fee yet but the hospital fee is US$77,410 and they require this money up front - 24 to 48 hours before admission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I think the fee for the Team of Doctors will be a similar amount if not more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition, <strong>Ealane needs an Air Ambulance costing at least US$25,000 to take her to Jackson Memorial. This is not covered by insurance.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ealane has health insurance with Sagicor but they will not pay up front - only by way of reimbursement. And we cannot find this money up front.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Therefore, <strong>I am appealing for help so that Ealane gets a fighting chance to live.</strong>
