Medical & Associated Costs for Emily & Family
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Olivia and I'm fundraising to help my family cover sudden medical expenses and costs associated with my niece's hospital stay while doctors work with her parents to identify and treat a sudden onset of seizures. My niece, Emily, is a 4mo old infant and is being treated at a children's hospital about an hour away from where the family lives in NC.
As we know, our medical system has many barriers, including expensive insurance options with limited coverage, intensely high hospital costs, and unaffordable but necessary treatments/tests/care. This puts many families in incredibly difficult situations as they seek to get essential medical care.
I'm trying to offset some of this financial burden in support of my family so they can focus on treatment and recovery for my precious niece. They have to miss work (unpaid), stay in another city, provide for the family (Emily has 2 brothers, 9 & 14), and cover large medical expenses of necessary care.
Please consider donating to support my niece's treatment and the family's costs. They are an incredibly hard-working, loving and generous family that could use some additional support as they work through this tough time. I am a strong believer in community and the power of people coming together to build others up and take care of each other, even if someone is a stranger.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for the support,
Olivia
