Hi, I’m Maddie, a young mom of two boys.

Between my newborn, my toddler’s medical needs, and my upcoming brain surgery, I’m struggling to keep our family afloat while bills pile up. I was recently diagnosed with Chiari Malformation, a condition where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. It causes intense headaches, dizziness, vision issues, and other challenges that make daily life harder—especially while caring for two little ones and trying to work.

Surgery is necessary to save my mobility and potentially my life, but it also means time away from work and extra financial strain on our family for 3-6 months so I can heal. I’ve set a goal of $8,000, with an immediate need of $2,600 to cover essentials. Any help—whether it’s donating, sharing, or sending love—means the world to us. Thank you for being part of our fight to keep going.
