Surgery for #Twisha
Donation protected
Hello! We need funds to pay for #Twisha's medical bills for her upcoming surgery at Boston Children's Hospital (BCH). Many of you may be aware that we had an active campaign going on for Twisha from 2012 to 2015, when she needed more than a Million USD to get the medical treatment only offered at BCH. By mid 2015, we had received sufficient funds to admit her at Boston Children's Hospital, where she underwent ground breaking medical treatment. She was in and out of hospital for more than a year. At the end, she had made full recovery! By the time she had found the cure, she was already 5 years old! Yes, that was time she was ever able to eat anything by her mouth!  
For those who are unaware of her medical condition, let me tell you a little bit about her. Twisha was born with a very rare medical condition called Long Gap Esophageal Atresia in Australia back in 2011. It meant that she was born unable to eat by mouth, as her esophagus was not connected to her stomach. She had an ultra long gap between two ends of her esophagus. She had underwent many surgeries (about 21) in Australia, yet couldn't be cured. Through vigorous research, we had found out about possible cure that was only available at Boston Children's Hospital, MA, USA; however with a price tag of 1.2M USD! That is when the campaign to #SaveOurTwisha had started. Her cause was broadcasted in many newspapers and channels around the globe. We had received tremendous amount of support and love from people all around the world and were able to save our Twisha. We cannot thank enough to all of you who stepped up and joined hands to give our Twisha a chance to live normal life. 
This girl is being raised by a single mother. Her father had abandoned her when she was just 5 months old. Twisha has only her mom by her side and those kind souls who stepped up to save her life.  
Fast forward to date, it's been almost 3 years that Twisha is doing well as being able to eat by her mouth. She is going to school as nearly a normal child! We had some hiccups in past 3 years, but they were not as scary as what we have been though earlier. Twisha is now 8! She is blooming like a flower, who by the nature is spreading her sweet fragrance around her and touching the lives of others. We cannot be more proud of her.  
Shortly after her 8th Birthday, her G-tube (Feeding tube) had fallen out accidentally. At the same time, she is also presenting some concerning symptoms. She needs a surgery to close the hole in her stomach. She is over due for her annual EGD (Endoscopy) at BCH. Since we have moved to Texas, our health insurance is not approving for the needed EGD and surgery at BCH despite repeated appeals. It is very important that Twisha is seen by her surgeons at Boston, who has performed those complicated surgeries on her successfully. For her upcoming surgeries, we are presented with an estimated bill of about 40k USD from BCH and local hospital. Your help in previous years has helped us save our angel. We would appreciate your contribution to help us keep this angel's health on track. We are hoping that this would be the last surgery in her life.

Please pray for Twisha and help us spread the words.
Thank you
