Vivian has tethered cord syndrome, a condition in which the spinal cord is held taut at the bottom. As a result, she has weak lower extremities, and has urine and bowel incontinence. She frequently experiences lower back pain.
Vivian is an only child. She lives with her mother, who works at a flower farm to support herself and Vivian.
For $675, we can help Vivian receive a tethered cord release surgery that will alleviate her systems and make a normal life possible. Vivian’s mom is doing her best to look after her, but cannot afford the cost of this treatment. Still, she is optimistic. She says, “It is painful to see my daughter cry in pain, however I look forward to her treatment and recovery.” Let’s help Vivian receive treatment and turn that optimism into reality!
