A Family In Need Now

A true Family In Need

Please read and open your heart to donate to a family in need. Tiffany is a single Mother of 5 and is facing a life altering Brain Surgery. She has been diagnosed with Chairi 9 months ago.

Chiari malformation (kee-AH-ree mal-for-MAY-shun) is a condition in which brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. It occurs when part of the skull is misshapen or smaller than is typical, pressing on the brain and forcing it downward.

She underwent surgery for this condition 6 months ago. With help from Family and Friends. She was able to pay for her bills and had help with her children. She still faces debt from her time in recovery. It’s rare and detrimental that she is facing another surgery for this condition, and so soon. This second Brain Surgery has the length of recovery from 6 months to a year.

She is dealing with these severity of symptoms on a daily permanent basis and needs this second surgery ASAP.

* Neck pain

* Unsteady gait (problems with balance)

* Poor hand coordination (fine motor skills)

* Numbness and tingling of the hands and feet

* Dizziness

* Difficulty swallowing, sometimes accompanied by gagging, choking and vomiting

* Speech problems, such as hoarseness

* Ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus)

* Weakness

* Slow heart rhythm

* Curvature of the spine (scoliosis) related to spinal cord impairment

* Breathing problems, such as central sleep apnea, which is when a person stops breathing during sleep

Tiffany is one of those people who will help you if you need something. She is also that mom who looks out for all the neighborhood children. She is a great mother who always puts her children first. Despite being a single mother those children always get what they need one way or another. Tiffany is our best friend and we have to find a way to get her through this. She’s not feeling so positive and does not like asking for help. Please find it in your heart to help her and us get our friend back to good health.

If we can get her in a better financial situation going into this surgery. She wont have the worry of losing her home and her family getting split up. .

Thank you for your help and God Bless you!
