Help Elsie Lichtenberg & Family
Donation protected
My daughter, Elsie is a 22-month-old baby girl who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury at 7 months old due to abuse by her babysitter. (Charges have been pressed, and the criminal case is ongoing). Over half of Elsie's brain is damaged, including the entire right side. She is visually impaired, has seizures that aren't responding to meds, her left arm is paralyzed, and her left leg is partially paralyzed. She also has a shunt and is globally developmentally delayed. She is a living angel on Earth. She is having a hemispherotomy in 2 weeks. This is an extremely invasive 8-12 hour brain surgery to disconnect the right side of her brain to hopefully stop her seizures. We're traveling over 1,000 miles from home to Boston for the procedure because that's what is best for Elsie. I quit my job to care for Elsie & due to her medical needs & the extensive amount of therapy she needs, I cannot return to work. Please pray for her and consider donating to our family. Donations will go directly to medical bills, living expenses, and a van/SUV to transport her medical equipment.
