Nilo's Proximal Hypospadias Surgery

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Alexis. I am trying to raise money for my son, Nilo, who is currently 9 months old. He was born with two defects. A chordee and hypospadias which is a condition where a males urethra is not at the tip of the penis as it should be. There are different severities of the condition. Nilo is one of the more severe cases. He will require multiple surgeries because of it. You can click here to look up more details of his surgeons and his condition.

The surgeries are quite extensive and due to that, they have a higher rate complications (fistulas, recurrent strictures, erectile dysfunction, and loss of penile sensation). Many under qualified surgeons perform on infants that will require corrective surgery later on in life.

I don't want to risk this and I want what is best for my child. I have decided to take him to a surgeon in Dallas who specializes in this specific area. In doing so, our insurance will not cover it. The surgeries are around 20k each and so far he is looking like he needs 2 of them. Each consultation is $250 and this is not including travel expenses.. any help is gratefully appreciated. All I ask is to please share this around to everyone and anyone to help with the costs.

I am completely transparent and will show the billing amounts once billed. His surgeries won't happen till the beginning of next year. I am trying to get the funds started so it will cover the costs right away.
