<div><strong>Please take a moment to read about my friend Shae and her family, and consider praying, giving, and/or sharing this GoFundMe to support them during an incredibly difficult time.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>An update regarding the 3rd Brain Surgery from Shae’s blog, “Weathering Chiari”:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>The long story short, I need another brain surgery. My neurosurgeon explained the MRI shows that directly under the titanium plate the tissue is collecting fluid like a blister. It’s about the size of a dime, but is causing Hydrolephusis (fluid on the brain) and irregular CSF flow (the fluid that travels around your brain and down your spine).</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>The tissue they harvested from my scalp is too fragile and has worn thin. The surgeon says the cause of the fragile tissue is probably due to Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). This diagnosis would be the reason my body is not healing and accepting the titanium plate. The tissue surrounding the plate is too fragile. The neurosurgeon said we are going to do the surgery “ASAP, the sooner the better”. They scheduled me for the soonest appointment on the 25th of this month.</em>
</div>
<div><em><span class="ql-cursor">﻿</span></em>
</div>
<div><em>While the idea of a third brain surgery is overwhelming and I dread it, I’m glad that there is a clear mechanical problem and a solution. We’re hopeful that the surgery will help me get back on track.</em>
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>For almost a decade now, Stephanie, Shae’s mom, has been serving young parent families. First through YoungLives, and now through Stepping Stones. Shae has also been heavily involved over the last several years in serving young parents, as she has been able, even just with her loving presence and sharing her testimony. Stephanie and Shae have a genuine heart for the people they serve and are so generous with their time, energy, and resources.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Now is a great opportunity for us, Shae’s friends, family, community, to rally around and support her and her family. There are three ways you can support Shae and her family.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>1. Financially: </strong>This sudden unexpected surgery and the travel expenses will be $10,000. The family has worked very hard to pay as much of the medical expenses on their own, but the need for this surgery came suddenly and unexpectedly. The neurosurgeons who have been working with Shae are hopeful that this surgery will work and have a clearer idea of what is happening and the path forward for Shae’s family to plan for.
</div>
<div><strong>2. Pray: </strong>Shae and her mom will fly out on August 23rd and Shae’s surgery is scheduled for the morning of August 25th. Please pray for Shae’s procedure and for peace and provision for Shae and her family during this really stressful time.
</div>
<div><strong>3. Share: </strong>As you feel led, please share this post. Many hands make light work. They would meet their financial goal and be able to cover all the expenses if 200 people gave $50. Or if 100 people gave $100.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for praying for and walking alongside Shae and her family these last few years. Their family is so incredibly grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>God bless you,
</div>
<div>Jacee
