Turner's Surgery
Donation protected
My grandson, Turner, is seven years old and has cerebral palsy. He is need of a special surgery: Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy. This surgery will stop the progression of his disability and allow Turner to walk independently -- a drastic improvement to his quality of life. There are only a few hospitals in the U.S. that perform this surgery. My daughter must take him to Gillette Children's in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The surgery and rehabilitation is six weeks. During this time Brianne and Joe (with two other children) must stay in St. Paul with Turner. Brianne will be off for the summer (teacher), but Joe must miss work without pay. Additionally, there is no free place to stay. So they must cover all living expenses for six weeks.
Therefore, I have started this GoFundMe page in hopes that family and friends can help them prepare for the expenses for this surgery that will help my precious grandson be able to walk and have a more normal childhood and life.
Anything, including and especially prayers, you can do is greatly appreciated.
