<div>After several years of severe headaches, extreme dizziness, vision changes, high eye pressure, heart rate &amp; blood pressure fluctuations, tremors, numbness, and hospital stays for neurological flares, Chelsea was recently diagnosed with Chiari Malformation (basically her brain is too big and is coming out the opening at the bottom of her skull into her spinal canal).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The fix? Brain surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It includes:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Posterior fossa decompression (removing a piece of her skull)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● C1 Laminectomy (removing part of the bony arch of the spine)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Duraplasty (opening the outer layer that protects her brain)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Cauterizing the cerebellar tonsils (the part of the brain responsible for motor coordination, balance, sensory processing, eye movements)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Closing the dura with a bovine patch (cow heart)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Replacing the part of the skull they removed with a titanium plate.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The catch? Chiari is rare.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Only a handful of neurosurgeons in the U.S. specialize in treating it when you have other comorbid conditions (she also has hEDS, scoliosis and tethered cord syndrome), which means we have to travel to Wisconsin for the surgery. On top of that, the hospital requires $85,000 upfront, thanks to a battle between the hospital and her insurance. Until the bill is paid in full, the surgery that is scheduled for December 29th can’t happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to cover the upfront cost of her much-needed surgery so she can finally get the care she needs. Every contribution goes directly toward her medical treatment. If we are unable to meet the full amount, the funds will instead be used to secure a higher-tier PPO health plan for 2026 that provides out-of-network coverage, ensuring access to the specialist. Any additional support will help with the surgery’s copays and deductible next year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Other Ways You Can Help (if donating isn’t possible):
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Share this page - getting the word out is huge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Dog care while away - while we are in Wisconsin, Jolene needs a safe, loving place (she’s not a fan of the neighbor’s dog).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Dog care when back home - after surgery, I will return to work and Chelsea will need help with dog walking in the mornings and early afternoon (ideally someone comfortable with dog-dog avoidance).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Meals - either homemade or DoorDash gift cards help a ton.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Help with Tristan - rides or walking him to/from school. She can’t drive for 3–4 weeks post-op, and he’s in a walker zone with no bus. I leave for work too early to take him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>● Company &amp; Check-ins – She has to lay flat for at least 30 minutes every 2 hours and I go back to work once we get home so a text or visit could help keep her sane.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks for reading, thanks for donating if you can, and thanks for sharing if you can’t.

Chelsea Needs Brain Surgery

<div>Cosmo cracked a major tooth several months ago. He has been in a ton of pain and the abscessed tooth has infected his left eye. After multiple veterinary opinions, it was determined that he needed the tooth extracted. It's one of his major crunching teeth so he was referred to a veterinary dental specialist, and we were pretty blindsided with an estimated surgery cost of $4065. He's a very large dog who needs specialized sedation due to being epileptic and on seizure medication. We were able to put in on credit but are not in the best financial position to pay this bill off. We have received a few cash donations already and would like to pay for as much of it as we can ourselves for the time being, hence why we are not asking for the full amount.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cosmo means the absolute world to us and has touched many lives and made lots of friends in his 6 years, and he's a healthy dog who still has a lot of life to live. Despite the pain he's in, he has remained the goofiest, sweetest, most puppy-like gentle giant you'll ever meet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was dropped off 2/6/24 at 7am and is currently undergoing surgery, so the cost is subject to change if there are any complications. I'll be updating with more information as soon as I know the final cost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**UPDATE**
</div>
<div>Cosmo is home and recovering great! As suspected the tooth was pretty seriously abscessed, and he also had another tooth on that side that was pretty much dead and needed to be pulled as well. Final cost came to $3846 so pretty close to the estimate. We have 6 months to pay it off, and at the rate donations are coming in I suspect we won't have an issue making that deadline. Thank you all so much for your ongoing support!
</div>

Cosmo needs dental surgery!

<div>In April of this year my husband and I made the difficult decision to radically change our lives and seek help for substance abuse and addiction. After completing 40 day inpatient treatment, we continued with aftercare, went into sober living and became heavily involved with 12 step recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In our journey to recovery our family has been split up. My husband and I are living in separate sober living homes and our two young children are staying with our parents until we get an apartment for the four of us.
</div>
<div>This seems like an insurmountable task as the cost of sober living is high. The cost of living in general is high. Although my husband and I are working and have income from our professional careers the cost of starting over (deposits, furniture etc.) seem out of reach. We are asking for help from those who are able to reunite our family as we trudge the road the road to happy destiny.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>if you are uncomfortable donating we understand. If you know me you know this pains me to do but my pride is not more important than my babies. Please pass this along to any who can help and keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.
</div>

Reunite the Gabriel Family

Zaid survived severe burns as a two year old when his bed accidentally caught fire. The funds raised for Zaid will be used first for functional surgeries and then for potential reconstructive procedures. The amount of surgeries Zaid needs is overwhelming. If each person reading this contributes $5 we will empower Zaid to live the best life possible. The SBSK community has rallied around others before. Let's show Zaid the love and friendship our community is known for. All donations will go directly to Zaid's family, through his mother Otaidia Carrillo. <br /><br />Zaid's Video: <a href="https://youtu.be/ST9vj2PAScY" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/ST9vj2PAScY</a>

Zaid's Medical Expenses

<img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/41261922_1565565133672066_r.jpeg" alt="41261922_1565565133672066_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />Our dearest Emmanuel or Manny /Edrei to many and Chelin to the most intimate of his relations has passed suddenly and tragically in an accident in the morning of August 11th, 2019. <br /><br />One of the most loving and kind person you'd meet-  always the light of the room through his beautiful smile, contagious laugh, endless jokes + genuine disposition. HE WILL be missed each and everyday.  Manuel leaves behind an 18 month old daughter who was the center of his whole world, a stay at home mom / wife, a dedicated mother and family. <br /><br />The funeral arrangements have been finalized and are posted as an update but are as follows: <br />Thursday 8/22 from 4-5 pm + 7-9 pm at Collin's Funeral Home in Silver Spring.<br />His final ride out (drive to crematory) will take place on Friday 8/23 at 10 am (departure from Collin's arrival to Alexandria VA) <br /><br />Any and all donations towards the cost of his funeral and final expenses are much appreciated.<br />We greatly appreciate your generosity and contribution towards ensuring a proper goodbye. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />- To ensure compliance with GoFundMe's transparency policy: <br />My name is Renee Reardon, I am the significant other of Emmanuel and have begun this campaign to allow family and friends to assist our efforts. Emmanuel leaves behind our daughter (18 months old), we are a family of 3 from Silver Spring, MD. My husband lost his life tragically in a motorcycle accident. All donations will be utilized for his funeral costs (no life insurance policy) and final expenses (motorcycle insurance deductible + at fault accident property damage, medical bills from his transport due to the accident and home expenses as I, Renee transition back into the workforce).  I'm a stay at home mom that must now return to work, put our daughter in daycare and resume the responsibility of sole provider for our family. Any remaining funds from Emmanuel's final expenses will assist Aurora and I in getting on our feet. <br /><br />From the bottom of our (Aurora + I) hearts, <br />Thank you. <br />&lt;3 Renee
