Support Allie Aiken - Spinal Cord Tumor
Donation protected
Allie is bold. Allie is creative. Allie is deep. Allie is fun.
Allie Aiken thought she was a perfectly healthy 24 year old until one day in November 2018, she noticed her arms beginning to lose feeling. Being a talented musician and artist, her hands are precious to her. After advice from family members who have devoted themselves to the healthcare profession, Allie got a MRI on December 13th, 2018. The scans were not good. A Tumor. In her spinal cord, right at the base of her brain stem.
Allie is currently working with insurance, doctors, and other professionals to decide the best course of treatment, but surgery will be required to remove the tumor, which will lead to a long recovery period. Her case is extremely rare, and the Aiken family is working tirelessly to find the most experienced surgeons to take on her case. Due to the nerve damage that has already taken place, she is now unable to work her normal job, and she will be out-of-work for quite some time. As if the medical expenses aren't substantial enough, she now has to worry about the financial burden from unemployment.
As children of God, we believe that the most powerful thing we can do is to partner in prayer for Allie, but won't you join us in supporting Allie financially? Any amount will ease some of the burden, so please donate however you feel led.
Allie is bold. Allie is creative. Allie is deep. Allie is fun. Let us come together as the body of Christ to support Allie in all that she is.
"Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’" - Matthew 25: 44-45
