Surgery for Emma Jean
Donation protected
My daughter, Emmalyn has been having ear infections since she was an infant. Due to this she has conducive hearing loss which can only be corrected with surgery or hearing aids, and possibly both. The loss of hearing has made school very difficult for her and she will be repeating kindergarten next year.
She is scheduled to have surgery on May 21st, 2018 to place a new set of ear tubes as well as having her tonsils and adenoid removed. Unfortunately she does not have insurance as i am just over the income limit to qualify for state insurance. I am a disabled veteran with insurance for myself through the VA, however they do not provide insurance for my daughter. I have applied for financial assistance through the hospital she is having surgery at. They are fast tracking the application for us but if approved it will only cover a portion of the estimated $10,000+ procedure. The financial assistance also will not cover the cost of anesthesia or surgeons charges.
Recovery should be fairly easy for her, but she will be on a few prescription medications following surgery.
If you are able to help, please do. Ive already been billed $500 this month alone for visits to her pediatrician for ear infections as well as having to pay a $110 fee today to see the ENT.
Any help or sharing of this fundraiser is greatly appreciated. I know myself and Emma will forever be in debt to you all for allowing her to hear again.
