Melissa’s Medical Journey

Hello, my name is Amanda Piva and I am fundraising for my sister Melissa Cambridge (right). She was in a car accident over five years ago and struggles with debilitating pain daily. She will be going to Mexico in a few weeks for a Three Level Fusion of her spine. Although there are risks involved her current quality of life and level of pain make the risk worth it. This will require a 6-8 week stay in Mexico and she will need accomodations, food and medicine. As an AISH recipient she has a limited income and we are hoping we can fundraise at least a portion of the cost of this treatment/incidental costs. She has had limited care from her doctors in Canada and also has a current ongoing complaint with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta as a result of her experience. Even with evidence of her debilitating nerve pain she has been denied care over and over through our health care system. She firmly believes this surgery in Mexico is worth it and she can't waste any more time, as she is barely able to spend time with family or friends in her current state. Please donate if you can, every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated. We hope and pray this surgery allows her to reclaim her life. Thank you for your time and consideration of her situation.
