Mias Temporalobectomy
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Chelsea. Single mother of an only child named Mia. I am the sole provider of our home, 2 dogs and a tortoise all while working full time. Mia is 13 and undergoing a lobectomy to remove her temporal lobe in hopes to cure her seizures. Mia has been fighting for 13 years to control her seizures and is now considered a "medicinal failure", this operation is our best shot at treatment. THIS is what Mia wants and what her doctors are recommending our next steps since medicine is not working.Yet the side effects, complications and devotion are abundant. I am asking for help.
This recovery can be up to a month or more not paid with no complications. With losing my job recently 2 days before surgery and us both experiencing loss, i need the help so i can devote what Mia deserves. She has already gone through so much in her short years since infancy and this is by far the scariest thing we have both encountered. The last thing I want to do is worry about being able to keep bills and my home afloat while I am in the hospital and rehabilitating my baby. She deserves her best quality of life. Anything will help us during this time of need. Thank you.
