Help Cortney Through Treatment

Donation protected

--Support Cortney through surgery and treatment for a brain tumor--

Cortney is a force of nature.  They're fierce, loving, and one of the kindest people I've ever met. They pour their heart and soul into their advocacy work, passionately educating the general public about neurodiversity and disability. They are an asset to so many lives, especially parents seeking to understand their autistic children. 

But right now, Cortney needs our help. After several MRI's and a surgical biopsy, they have been diagnosed with a grade II diffuse glioma in the left frontal lobe. They'll be facing another surgery on July 24 to remove the tumor, as well as further treatment to be decided on after the surgery. Chemo and radiation are both on the table. 



Their diagnosis and treatment has brought in and will continue to bringin additional expenses for Cortney and their caregiver. Donated funds will help Cortney's caregiver provide them with the care they need after surgery and during treatment, as well help with any medical, transportation, or hotel expenses necessary during treatment. 

This is urgent. Cortney needs your help now. Please consider donating whatever you can. Even just $5 per person can add up so quickly. If donating can't happen right now, please SHARE and encourage others to donate. Cortney deserves some help for all of the wonderful work they do in our world, so they can make a full recovery without unnecessary financial stress and get back to helping people.
