Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,My name is Jen and I find myself at a crossroads, seeking hope and healing. I am living with a rare combination of Chiari Malformation and partial empty sella, conditions that place immense pressure on my brain. Despite the odds, I've undergone two surgeries already, but now I am facing a third crucial operation.The importance of this surgery can't be overstated. It represents not just a chance at relief, but hopefully a future free from debilitating pain. This critical procedure is scheduled for Aug 1st and Aug 4th in New Jersey, and the urgency grows every day. Unfortunately, I lost my job due to the inability to take medical leave, and my husband and I are struggling with soaring health insurance costs, which alone are $800 a month.I am reaching out with all my heart to ask for your help. Our resources have been depleted, and traditional channels have fallen short. We are turning to you, our cherished community, to help raise the funds needed for this surgery. Your donation can truly make a life-saving difference, giving me a chance at recovery and a return to normalcy.Please, if you can, donate to help cover the costs of the surgery and associated expenses. Every bit helps, and if you're unable to donate, sharing my story with others would mean the world to us. We are holding onto hope and your generosity could be the light that guides us through this challenging time.Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, kindness, and prayers. Together, let's make this surgery the last one I ever have to face.With deepest gratitude,
Jen

Hi everyone!

Today was my LP and drain. That has been completely successful! I feel a million times better minus the back pain and headache when I sit up. My opening CSF pressure was a 21 and should be around 8 for normal.  He drained 6 to get me down to 15. When dealing with this you can't drain to much to quick. Monday is the big day.... shunt placement. We are very encouraged that this will continue to help and my symptoms will improve and I will be able to return to work in time. Please continue to say prayers. I love you all!

In a little over 24 hours I will be on my way for NJ for my next 2 surgeries. My nerves are really getting to me and I'm a bit scared but ready to feel better. I will update as often as I can. Thank you so much everyone for your time and generosity.

I'm officially 1 week away from leaving to go have these 2 surgeries.  My nerves are well nonexistent at this time. I again want to thank everyone who is sharing, praying and helping financially.  Even after surgery we are going to need help due to my husband having to take care of me and me not having a job at this time due to my last brain surgery 5 months ago.

Thank you to all who have shared and donated. I got a call today confirming Aug 1st I will be staying in the hospital for my LP and drain. I will also be having a shunt placed on 8/4. I'm a bit nervous for the LP but ready for some relief.  With me staying in the hospital my husband will have to drive back and forth. Hey at least he gets a comfy bed! 😁❤️ I just wanted to give an update on how things are going. Again thank you for all the shares and contributions that have been made. I know it's not easy with the way the economy is currently doing.
