Our daughter is just 5 years old and has already suffered more than most adults do in their entire lifetime. She has Cerebral Palsy and is unable to speak, stand or sit independently. But it does not have to be this way. With Brain Stem Surgery her life would change and she would be able to be more of the childhood she deserves.

But, this treatment is very expensive and without your support my daughter will never have the chance of the life so many of us take for granted.

What are the costs of Brain Stem Surgery?
For patients who are not covered by health insurance, the typical cost of brain surgery ranges from $50,000 to over $150,000 depending on the hospital. Some of the examples of the charges in American hospitals are detailed below:
- The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centre in New Hampshire charges approximately $72,500 for the treatment and doctor fees. This includes a 30% discount for people who are not insured.
- The Baptist Memorial Healthcare Centre in Memphis charges almost $50,000 when there are no major complications which can increase to over $110,000 if any problems arise. These amounts also exclude the doctor fees that can be over $30,000 for each surgery.

Please support in providing this life-changing surgery to my daughter and giving this five year old child a brighter future.
