Cole’s Surgery

Most of my Facebook friend and family have met Cole. He is my 11 ( almost 12 year old). He has a few medical conditions, the major one is NF ( Neurofibromatosis- a genetic nerve
tumor disorder). 

He has been experiencing back pain, and the 

MRI showed he has a tethered spinal cord.

Meaning his nerve fibers in his lower back are constricted and not able to flow as freely as
they should- thus causing his pain. We were referred to a surgeon who highly recommended surgery to attempt to fix the problem. He is

scheduled for the operation later next month. I am reaching out to friends and family to ask
for financial help. I plan to take 1-2 weeks off
of work help him recover. With me being 
home- we need some assistance to make ends meet. If you are not able to help- please share this fundraiser- it is also helping me with my 
goal to help raise NF Awareness- as there is
not much knowledge of it. 

Thank you so much for reading our story. 

Blessings!
