Help my sister with medical expenses!
Donation protected
Hello my name is Betsy Sharf. I am starting this Gofundme on behalf of my sister Christine Facenda as well as her son Christopher and daughter Kimberly. Christine is a single mom who has raised three children on her own trying to provide the best for them but could use our help.
Christopher was born with a deformed tibula and as a
result had his leg amputated below the knee. This has never held him back in life as he has alway persevered, physically as well as intellectually. He is currently a senior at PSU making great grades and plans on being a teacher. Christopher is in dire need of a new prosthetic leg as he has outgrown his current model-putting strain on his hip, with insurance Christine
has to pay 4,000 dollars
out of pocket and is having trouble making ends meet.
Of course when it rains it pours. Kimberly, the youngest of the three kids is eleven years old and has been in dance and gymnastics her whole life. Back pain thought to be workout related was recently discovered to be scoliosis rated at 25 percent and worsening.
Doctors have prescribed her a back brace to stem the chance
of surgery later in life. With insurance Christine is faces with 3,000 dollars out of pocket. Being a single mom has been hard for her and I'm hoping we can help take some of the financial burden away.
I am asking for donations so her kids can get the medical equipment they need to live fuller lives. Thanks for the support!!
