Melissa's Brain Surgery

My family has recently learned that my mom has a brain tumor that will need to be surgically removed soon. My dad is going to need to take time off of work to be with her for her appointments, surgery, and recovery. The average brain surgery costs about $750,000.  It's very expensive.  My family does have good insurance, so they will pay most of it, but there will still be medical bills, time off work, and other related expenses involved.  I'm asking for the help of our friends and family.  My parents are very proud people who have always made their own way in this world and have done a good job providing for me and my five brothers and sisters.  They would never ask for help on their own, so I'll ask for them. I talked to my parents about the costs that'll be involved and have estimated that they will need between $8,000 and $10,000 dollars to get through this and gofundme keeps 5% of the donations.  I know money is tight for most of my people but if you could find even five or ten dollars to donate that might mean a world of difference. Every little bit adds up.  I love my mother and I hope to see my family recover from this.
