Slade's Treatment

We are Matt and Natalie. Our youngest son, Slade, has just been diagnosed with melanoma. He developed a mole on his cheek about the size of a needle point back in November 2015 right around Thanksgiving. The mole began to grow and protrude and droop. It was about a 1/2 centimeter when it was removed the first of this month. It's growth was fairly rapid. Slade is 4 years old, and full of life. He loves music, playing drums, guitar, baseball, and football. This diagnosis has hit us hard. Not one thing about it is anything that any parent ever wants to hear. But here we are. Slades medical insurance is BCBS HMO through the obamacare marketplace and is not accepted by anyone we need him to see. Everyone is out of network and we have to get pre authorization to be able to receive treatment. We may be doing travels from home to Dallas and possibly even Memphis, Tennessee. We are completely clueless as to how much in medical expenses we will incur, not to mention travel and still staying on top of our regular household bills. We have decided to set this account up for anyone who may want to help. This is really out of our comfort zone, but it's all for Slade and making sure he gets the best treatment possible.
