In January of 2012 my beautiful 7 year old daughter, Jaimie was diagnosed with a Malignant Brain Tumor.  After 14 hours of surgery, the tumor was completely removed.  Fifteen months later (in 2013)  Jaimie had a reoccurence, in which she underwent another 8 hour surgery to remove the tumor.  Sadly, they were not able to find her tumor and closed her back up.  After two more weeks in the hospital Jaimie was released. The Dr.'s didn't know how they were going to proceeed.  After Jaimie recovered she was to have another MRI to see if in fact they could still see the tumor, sadly it was still there.  The Dr. felt the best course of action was for us to fly down to Memphis, Tenesee for her surgery.   At the hospital in Tenessee (Le Bonhuer Hospital) they had a piece of equipment that our hospital here did not have which is an MRI in the operating room.  This piece of equipment could help them see the tumor while doing the surgery.  The Surgeon successfully removed the tumor.  After a week down in Memphis we returned to NY for Jaimie to recover for two weeks and then begin her 33 rounds of radiation .  Jaimie came through great - but still needs to have MRI's every three months.  Needless to say our medical bills our way beyond our means.  We have tried so many things, and my last option is to ask for friends and family help.  We are being taken to supreme court if our medical bills are not paid.  Needless to say we can't afford an attorney and certainly can't afford to pay all of these medical bills.  I hate to ask for help, but feel like we have no choice.   Each of these medical bill's are asking for between 150 and 700 dollars a month - and we probably have 500 of those types of bills.  While I have insurance, it apparently isn't covering nearly enough of our bills.  Please understand, I am don't like asking for this kind of help - but feel we have no other option if we want to survive.  Thanks in advance..any little bit will help..
