Annie's Facial Reanimation

Donation protected

So please read our whole story...
This is our princess Annibelle. I usually would NOT be willing to ask for help but its not for me it's for her. As you can see our Annibelle is special. She has facial paralysis. When she was born our beautiful daughter had a smile from ear to ear. But as time went on in those first few months we noticed something was off. First it was the eye, then the smile began to disappear. The doctors thought she had bells palsy and sent a referral to a childrens hospital. Image my heart break when I felt a lump on her neck while we waited for that to go through. We immediately went to the hospital. They admitted us and for a week my husband worked an hour away while I was alone with her in the hospital while they ran test daily on her. We were broke and couldn't afford for him to miss work or afford driving daily to me. They finally sent us home to prepare and came back 4 days later to have a tumor removed. It was 3/4 the size of a golf ball. It was removed but the damage was done. Her smile was gone. Fast forward 5 years, she still had no smile and kindergarten is soon to come. Full of cruel kids and her starting to notice she is different and that she feels something is wrong. We have a doctor based out of Beverly Hills CA who will perform facial reanimation surgery. It is 2 $35,000 surgeries and they must be paid 2 weeks before surgery plus a down payment to even schedule them. Insurance will not cover it because they call it cosmetic. We both have good jobs and have insurance and are doing our best to save but at the current rate it's not fast enough. So please if you can donate please do. Or even pass it along and share with family and friends. We just want our daughter to have her smile back.
