Renn's Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Alyssa and I have created this fundraiser on behalf of our one year old daughter. Renn has been in and out of hospitals, seen multiple specialists, been through extensive amounts of testing, all since she was 5 months old, and finally in March we received the news from her neurologist no parent is ever prepared to hear; one of her lab tests came back with abnormal levels and that combined with her symptoms, delays, and family history has led her to believe that Renn may very likely have a rare mitochondrial disorder that will shorten her life greatly if it is true. We were then referred to a biochemist at Denver Children's but never received the call. Multiple referrals more were sent by her neurologist and her pediatrician to no avail. We resorted to referrals being sent to Seattle Children's Hospital where her neurologist has assured us they have some of the best biochemist in the country to care for her. FINALLY in July we received the call that Seattle got the go ahead to schedule her and they can get us on the schedule for November 14th. With November fast approaching we are starting to realize the cost of flights, hotel, rental car, food, and missed work is too much that we can bare alone and the longer we wait to book, the more the price is going up. Our goal is to raise $3,000 to cushion these costs and be prepared for the worst should we need to stay in Seattle longer than planned.
This is well out of our comfort zone to ask for help like this and even if you can't donate, a share is just as great! Thank you for taking the time to read our story
