Minerva Needs Life-Changing Surgery

Update : Minnie's surgery is scheduled for February 18th. I'm so nervous but thankful for all who has helped so far. Please keep sharing so we can get as close as we can. Thank you.

My name is Tara Ragusa and I'm raising funds for my little girl Minerva's surgery she needs ASAP.

My two-year-old girl has a polyp in her little baby nose that needs to be removed ASAP. It is causing a blockage and has given her a severe infection behind her eardrum and has also gone into her brain, causing meningitis. With the removal of the polyp, she will make a full recovery. Without removing it, she will just keep getting infections.

I'm a widowed mom of two and recently lost my job in September and haven't found anything yet. I've raised a good portion of the surgery fund already, just need a little more help. Please, she is our world and our emotional support baby. Any amount will help.

All funds will go directly to Eclipse Emergency hospital in whippany where the surgery will take place.
