I am creating this fund to help my niece Tristyn.  If you know Tristyn, you know she is a brilliant little girl with a heart of gold.  She is kind beyond measure and would do anything to help anyone and now it's our turn to help her.  You probably also know that Tristyn was born with a bilateral cleft palate.  Next week she will undergo a major surgery which will include removing bone from her hip and placing it into the roof of her mouth.  Her recovery time will be approximately 3 weeks.  And this will be only the first half of the procedure.  She will have to undergo a second surgery, doing the same thing, in approximately 6 months to complete the whole process.  These surgeries will mark her 4th and 5th major procedures and there will still be at least one more later on in her life.  This girl is a trooper to say the least!  The out of pocket cost for this two step procedure that Matt and Cindy need to cover is going to be about $10,000.  And then let's not forget that unfortunately Raigyn will need to undergo the same procedures in just about 3 years time.  If you know Matt and Cindy, you know they would never shout out for help so I am doing it for them by creating this fund.  I know 2020 has been a challenging year for many people but if there is anything that you could contribute to this cause I know they would be eternally grateful.
