90+ days hospital stay expenses
"We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone."

Hello everyone! As you guys already know, Destinee went in for surgery on Wednesday May 4th and got set up with Halo Traction and her hospital stay is of approximately 90 days. We are a family of 5 with 1 income. I do not work outside the hope for a salary but TRUST ME I work lol! Here at the hospital we can purchase breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner for $5 each meal/per person. Ed and I plan to alternate and be at the hospital with her however long she stays here so we can go home and be with out other 2 girls. This will add up to A LOT of money, plus all the frozen meals and snacks we have to get to keep the fridge stocked for Eka and Beth. We also go back and forth between home and the hospital and our car gas and tolls bill will go up. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $1000 which will take care of at least 2 meals per day for 1 of us.
We are reaching out and asking for help! We need to collect as much as we can so we avoid spending our living expense money eating at the hospital.
For those that do not know what this looks like, here is a VERY INFORMATIVE video that helped us, and Tinee, feel more peace about the procedure, and it happens to be that this is exactly the same halo she got. She will move around in both a wheelchair and walker like seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCx6pHnBLGk&feature=youtu.be.

She has a feeding tube with hopes that she will gain at least 10 lbs in preparation of her next surgery which is more serious and invasive. As scary as all this is, we know that it is a gift from Heaven as God gave doctors the wisdom to perform these surgeries and give Tinee a change for a better life!!! We declare that soon we will see her doing cartwheels all over the place and that one day we will see her perform Ballet like she wants to do. The God we serve is almighty and powerful, and there is nothing impossible for Him. We truly believe that He has it all under control!
Any amount will be greatly appreciated. You can even make annonymous donations.
Thanks in advance from the bottom of out hearts,
Jessica and Eduardo Castro
