Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out today to share my daughter’s story and ask for your support during this challenging time in our lives. We just want our girl to get better and have a great recovery.

Dani has been experiencing severe back pain along with many other difficulties due to a spinal condition that requires a laminectomy surgical procedure ( surgery date is October 22) that involves removing a section of bone from the spine to relieve pressure on the nerves and spinal cord. This surgery is essential for her to regain mobility and improve her quality of life. Dani is currently on home hospital due to having severe pain and difficulties getting around the campus. She unfortunately has also had to stop all activities like gym, ballet and cheer.

Even with multiple hospital stays, learning pain management with medications, scans, procedures and invasive studies done she always has such a great attitude. With this surgery and after recovery she should be able to join her sisters and friends in normal kid activities.

Unfortunately, I (mom) will be out of work during the week of her surgery and while she is recovering. I am setting a goal of $4000 to cover all expenses, and any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Your support will help my family financially but will also provide Dani with the emotional encouragement during this time.

Thank you for considering my request. If you are unable to contribute, sharing this campaign with your family and friends would mean the world to us. I appreciate your kindness and support more than words can express.
