Hello, my name is Ray. My wife, Kristy, wasn't supposed to be able to have children. By a miracle, she was able to get pregnant but unfortunately, our baby girl has a hole in her heart and will be needing surgery after she is born. We were prepared to struggle a little bit but we were not prepared to do so to the degree we are right now. Our insurance is not covering the visits to the specialists we are needing before she is born and it is putting us in a financial mess that is reflecting on us in very negative ways, and with Aurora's condition, we need all the positivity and love we can get because anything Kristy feels, the baby feels and I am trying to be as much of a pillar as possible but the pressure is on with Aurora coming on February 20th. That's NEXT MONTH. And I was holding tightly to the hope of another miracle where her hole may repair itself but instead.. our last visit, we found out that she now has a minor leakage in one of her tubes and with that dissolved the last bit of hope I had for that miracle. Now I KNOW she will need that surgery and it is all becoming all too real. All of these specialists are over an hour away because no one in our area specializes in these conditions and now they want us to go to even more appointments than once before and on top of that we will be driving that same distance twice a day, for about 3 weeks straight after she is born as she goes through the surgery process and we're unsure of how our jobs are going to work with us toward it. While we are doing our best, I have to swallow my pride and say for once - I need help. Please. We just want to hold and raise our baby girl.
