Haileys once in a lifetime opportunity!

Donation protected
Hi Im Crystal, a single mom of two amazing kids. Hailey is my 14 year old daughter...she recently made the United Volleyball team. This is a huge accomplishment and a once in a life time opportunity. This is my daughters chance to not only do what she loves but have a chance at a scholarship for college and live a life she deserves. The biggest thing is it keeps her head on straight and keeps her from going down a wrong path.

Our lives havnt been the easiest, and past mistakes and my health has had a huge impact on Hailey and my son. Hailey, my 10 year old son, and myself all have Marfan Syndrome...a connective tissue disorder. I personally have had an emergency surgery on a Abdominal Aortic Anurism dissection and this year had open heart surgery. Causing myself to be unable to work and no income comimg in except small jobs I do when able. As well as having to travel to childrens hospital one to two times a year for my kids check ups and testing.
The point of all of this is, this is a once in a life time opportunity for Hailey. However it is very pricey. Just like these trips to Denver. Im not able to fully work because of my open heart surgery and my health issues. Which is a struggle because I have always worked and did whatever it takes to provide for my kids.

So here goes....Im drowning to say the least. I have spent all my savings and every dime I have so far to give my daughter this opportunity. Im responsible for getting her to all these games that are out of town and for our rooms which sre 3-5 nights. Plus making payments for the initial fee to play, insurance and membership fees. Im a single mom so also have rent and all other bills with no help at all.

My daughter has worked so hard for this and Im at the point where Im selling everything I own in order to survive. I have nothing else I can sell at this point I am so stressed and overwhelmed I have no choice but to reach out to others at this point. Any help anyone can give would be more than helpful...We have Childrens hospital coming up this Monday and of course christmas...but I am completely lost on what to do.
Please if you can help give my daughter this amazing opportunity it would mean the world to her and myself. I wish it didn't come to this but it did and I truly appreciate you taking time to read this. We would truly be grateful if you share this with as many as possible!! And the biggest help is a prayer for my kids and myself!!
Thank you kindly and we wish everyone very happy holidays!!!

UPDATE: Today a Lady that I absolutely have complete respect for and truly look up to ( besides my own mom of course, which is the most amazing women I no) donated $2000. She has been such a blessing to my whole family! Her kindness is truly appreciated and is why she is so blessed and such an amazing person, a heart of gold. I'm not sure if she wants her name posted, but those of you who know me..know who she is. We are more than half way to our goal. Thank you all who have shared this post and have donated. It means so much to us. God Bless
