Help Makena Heal: Spinal Surgery and Therapy Costs

Donation protected

I'm Kelly, I'm Makena's dad. Makena broke her back a while back and was struggling, and we weren't certain why. After an MRI, we were made aware that one of her vertebrae was detached from her spine! They scheduled a PARS spinal fusion surgery. They were planning to just pull the vertebra back into position and put a couple of screws in to tighten it up, but after they opened her up, it was much worse. They had to do a much more invasive surgery with 4 rods and many screws. While I'm still working, my wife had to take off for 4 to 6 weeks with her to go through physical therapy and such. Makena has to have care 24/7. We aren't sure how we will make our bills or the surgery cost, but we are trying. If you'd like to help, that would be so appreciated. Thank you so much.

Update as of 03/26, surgery cost is $3,500 out of pocket. Thank you to everyone that has donated. You all have really blown my mind. Makena is SOOOO grateful for you. We all are. Please let us know if there is anything I can do for you. I mean it. Thank you.
