Erica's Scoliosis Surgery
Donation protected
WE NEED YOUR HELP!! Our 15 yr old daughter, Erica needs a life saving scoliosis correction surgery. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that typically is noticed during puberty when rapid growth occurs. There is only 5 surgeons in the world that perform the surgery that she needs. Fortunately, three of them are right here in the USA. We have consulted with them and they have accepted her as a patient.
Unfortunately, our insurance won't cover all of the surgery's costs. That is where you can help!
Scoliosis is a curving and twisting of the spine and only affects 3% of the population--but we aren't talking about a minor curve or even mild problems here. Due to the severity of Erica's scoliosis, she needs a surgery called Anterior Scoliosis Correction (ASC). This will give her the best quality of life.
Recovery time is 7+ days in the hospital which includes intensive care and 6 weeks recovery at home. The 65,000 will only cover the surgeon fees, that amount doesn't include hospital fees. We won't know our final bill from the hospital until after the surgery is over. We need the 65,000 quickly as she is running out of time. If her curvature continues to progress, it may start to affect her heart and lungs.
Will you help Erica? We know that this is a lot to ask of anyone. But please remember no amount is too small. We will be humble and grateful for any amount you can donate.
We thank you for your generosity. ~Family of Erica Hickman
