Help The Fintel Family Pay Medical Expenses

Hi All! My name is Stephanie Reeves and my dear friend Amanda Fintel is hospitalized with a brain tumor. On 10/14 after Amanda had gone to bed, she had a grand mal seizure just three weeks after she had her sweet baby girl, Kate. Upon arrival to the hospital, a CT scan showed that Amanda had a 5 cm brain tumor. She was then transferred to Toledo Hospital to receive care from their Neuro Surgery team. The tumor and seizures were affecting her speech. The plan was to have her seizure subside to then do an awake craniotomy in an attempt to remove the tumor. As of now, 10/21 her seizures have stopped and she is scheduled for surgery Monday, 10/25. The Neuro Surgeon plans to try and remove the tumor without having an impact on her speech. If they are unable to remove all of the tumor, the plan is to then go through 6 weeks of radiation treatment to shrink the tumor.

Amanda is probably one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She is an amazing Interventional Specialist at a local Junior High and a phenomenal volleyball coach at Perrysburg High School. She is always putting others before herself and is just such an exceptional role model and friend to her peers, friends, players, and family. I honestly cannot say enough about how special Amanda is. Amanda and her husband, Kyle have a sweet baby girl at home who is just three weeks old! As you can imagine, a diagnosis like this can be terrifying but add not being able to be with your 3 week old baby is just impossible to think of. Even with this life-changing situation, Amanda remains the most positive and upbeat person. She will do whatever it takes and is ready to fight this for her husband and baby girl.

Me, along with the Perrysburg High School Volleyball Head Coach, Laura Davidson, wanted to create this GoFundMe in hopes our family, friends, and community will help raise money for Amanda and her family so they can pay their medical expenses. Thank you for any donation, as I know Amanda and Kyle will be so appreciative.
