Story
My 11yr old daughter was diagnosed with a substantial triple scoliosis curve that requires surgery, only fusion surgery is available on the NHS this would stop her growth and significantly reduce her spinal mobility. Isabelle is a fun loving active 11 yr old who has a passion for kickboxing, we feel that the Vertebral Tethering Surgery would help to reduce her scoliosis curve whist allowing her to reach her adult height and maintain her mobility.
Having worked so hard to provide for my family I never imagined i would be in a position where i had to appeal for help from others to be able to give Izzy the operation she needs to maintain her quality of life. There is nothing more humbling than being told your little girl that you want to protect so badly has a serious illness but you can not afford the operation she so desperately needs.
I hope you can find it in your heart to help us on our difficult journey

4 years ago1/3 Hello, we hope everyone is safe, well and enjoying seeing friends and family at a distance now. With lockdown easing and operations starting up again we lobbed the US Embassy with much help from friends and our local MP, the first application was rejected but keeping up the noise and pressure they reviewed our case and amazingly granted us permission to fly and help us across the borders. The excitement/relief did not last long as the hospital had to postpone our date to August. Many of you know the criteria is tight....

4 years ago2/3 ....we are way in to the time frame of it working, we worry waiting for August will reduce the likelihood of Izzy getting VBT with her curves increasing every day So we’ve reached out to a surgeon in Turkey. They have just opened the borders, no isolation needed when we get there and direct planes. After losing so much money in flights and unused rental in America we are in a position where we need to continue the fund raising 😞. Every penny will help. Not everyone can afford to donate but please do send us positive vibes!
