Hannah's Help
Donation protected
Hannah Coulter is like any other 15-year old girl.
She likes music and art and good food and fun.
But Hannah is also very different from many of her friends, as she perceives the world around her through the lens of Autism.
Still, with the loving encouragement of her family, Hannah has competed in Special Olympics events, learned to bowl, and tried to live a fairly active lifestyle. Her favorite coach is her Dad, Tommy; her mother is her constant cheerleader. Hannah adores her big sister, Hayley.
Over the Winter, Hannah was hospitalized for more than 100-days to correct a congenital condition in her trachea. Tracheomalacia is a narrowing of the trachea, in Hannah's case, due to an artery pressing against her windpipe.
Surgeons were able to perform an experimental procedure that inserted a permanent stint in her throat--a first-ever operation. Hannah can now add "Medical Trailblazer" to her list of accomplishments.
As you might imagine, spending that much time in the hospital isn't cheap. Spending time in a hospital out of town is expensive and inconvenient. But Hannah's parents, Tommy and Marsha, are totally committed to her care and wellbeing.
Tommy is a Texas public school educator, and was able to "burn" accrued vacation time. But that's all gone.
The Coulter's financial position now is precarious as they begin to dip into savings to handle monthly living expenses.
We're asking for your help, within the Coulter-Edwards family spheres, in assisting with defraying those expenses--most urgently, mortgage and health insurance payments. And if you're reading this online from outside our family circle, you're under no such obligation, but your thoughtful contribution would be most appreciated!
