About this fundraiser

I'm trying to fundraise money to send my daughter to High band trip to disney 12/2027. After having one of the rough years of her life. She started to have extremely pain in side and stomach in april, after visiting the hospital in three different visits, they felt like diagnosed her with a full gallbladder of stones, but none of the surgeons in sandusky, oh would touch because of her age. On May 4, 2026 drive her to children's akron hospital she was amid it to the hospital that night because she had a full gallbladder of stones. So she had to have emergency surgery at children's Akron hospital had to recover from that. So in this process, we had to find a new family doctor for her. Because our old one retired, so we have a new family doctor which we started seeing back in April. She didn't like how Melisa had her curved in spined so she said in September, 2026 at year appt. she would look at her spine much closer and get x rays. Her xray came back with a spine curvature of 49.6 so she referred us to a pediatricians. Orthopedics, because she definitely has scerliosis of the spine. But after waiting two weeks and no call from the specialist, I ended up calling back children's Akron. Hospital got her appointment within 2 days after calling. When the doctor came in and reading her x-rays and getting new x-rays, he determined at that appointment. That the only option for her is spinal surgery and it's going to be a six month recovery, so she asked the doctor if she could march her senior year's start in July and to go to Disney and March down main street, like her siblings, his response was, yes, but we couldn't wait and think about it or weigh options. We had to make the decision that day that moment before leaving. Because he was booked until January and she would need to be in surgery. No later than March to make her dreams come true. And march, her senior year of high school and march down disney main street in florida. So with the cost of surgery and time off and a band trip right around the corner, in the same year, it is kind of hard to raise all the money we need to do to do both to make her dreams come true.
