Support Madi Knigge's Life-Saving Brain Surgery

Donation protected
AAHHH! (I don't know, "Hello" felt generic). My name is Madi Knigge, as I'm writing this, I am 17. I've never been one to ask for help, I'm much too stubborn for that- and so, I never imagined I would have to ask for help in such a manner.
Buckle up guys- I was diagnosed with a Colloid Cyst in my Brain a few years back and have been keeping an eye on it with annual MRIs. In December 2024 when I got the results of my annual MRI, we discovered that my Cyst has grown 40% in the last year and requires surgery otherwise it will take my life. The Cyst sits on top of my spinal cord, connected to my memory stems. This surgery is extremely dangerous and only one surgeon in America specializes in this endoscopic removal, he is located in New York.
The cost of insurance deductibles and the trip itself to New York is overwhelming for me and my single mother. We do not have the means to cover this on our own.
And so, every donation, big or small would mean the world to me and bring me closer to the future I hope to have.
I will forever be indebted to your kindness, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!
I'm a solid investment guys- I am a 4.0 student, I am a Classically trained Cellist and Pianist and hope to study Cello Performance in College (assuming I make it), I have my Blue Belt in Krav Maga and am a dedicated martial artist, I speak a few languages, I LOVE learning, I love helping and teaching others in my community and SO much more.
I have too much to get done in this lifetime, so I would forever be grateful for your support.
Thank you for everything,
Madi Knigge
