Fundraise for Ericka!
Donation protected
My sister, Ericka, has been in the hospital for the last 15 days suffering from serious pain. Doctors are trying to solve the issue and have determined she is suffering from spontaneous intracranial pressure and 3 type II innervated meningeal cysts, cerebrospinal-fluid-filled (CSF) sacs. Also her bone flap from her prior craniotomy has to be replaced. They are planning 2 invasive surgeries in the near future.
This fund is to help pay for her deductible. $250 a day, shes been there 15 days already. No telling how long she will be there. This isn't even including the surgery or diagnostics. We are asking for 5k but also your prayers and support. Anything helps!
Ericka has more friends than anyone I know, and most of them know her story. If not, here it is:
Ericka has been down a long road of unexplained brain and spinal issues. Her first was a benign tumor when she was 15. She had it removed and has since had over 8 brain surgeries because of other related/ unrelated complications. Removal of a dermoid tumor in her occipital lobe, Placement of a ventricular peritoneal shunt. Chairi posterior fossa decompression. Then removal of part of the occipital tonsils. Several vp shunt replacements. Then slit like ventricle syndrome from them draining her to much. They went in and turnerd off the shunt. Next they removed the shunt which is usually not done. Then a c1 c2 rhizotomy.
She is an absolute fighter and always has positive energy. She is the most caring person I know, in fact she went on to be a nurse to continue helping others. Heck, shes probably gone out of her way to help you!
If she has or not, please send your prayers, love, positive energy and help donate to pay for medical costs.
