Help Acaiyah get active and live pain free again!

Acaiyah is a beautiful 9 year old girl in third grade. Around her 7th birthday we noticed she had severe scoliosis, seemingly out of nowhere. This led to visits with different specialists with several tests and MRIs, leading to her diagnosis of Chiari Malformation Type I. A far less invasive surgery with far less side effects is available in Barcelona, Spain and cash is the only option for payment since it is outside of the USA.

🙏 AMAZING NEWS - Surgery Date Confirmed! 🙏

Hello wonderful supporters and friends,

We are absolutely thrilled to share that we have officially scheduled the surgery for June 3rd! After months of preparation, consultations, and waiting, we finally have our date locked in. The excitement and gratitude we feel right now is beyond words.

✈️ Our Journey to Barcelona

We'll be traveling to Barcelona from May 28th through June 14th for this life-changing procedure. The medical team there has been incredible throughout this entire process, and we feel so blessed to have found such skilled and compassionate doctors who specialize in this type of surgery.

The two-week stay will allow for proper pre-surgery preparation, the procedure itself, initial recovery, and follow-up appointments before we can safely travel home. We're nervous but incredibly hopeful about what this surgery will mean for our future.

💙 Humbly Asking for Your Continued Support

Thanks to each and every one of you who has already contributed, shared our story, or simply sent positive thoughts our way - you've gotten us this far, and we are eternally grateful! Your generosity has been absolutely overwhelming in the best possible way.

As we approach this crucial milestone, we're humbly reaching out once more. We're currently at an incredible milestone thanks to all of you, but we still need to reach our goal of $50,000 to fully cover the surgery, travel expenses, extended stay in Barcelona, post-operative care, and unexpected costs that might arise.

Every single dollar brings us closer to this dream becoming reality. Whether it's $5 or $500, whether you can donate or simply share our story with others - it all makes a tremendous difference.

🌟 What This Means to Us

This surgery represents hope, healing, and a chance at the life we've been dreaming of. We know that with your continued support and the skilled hands of the medical team in Barcelona, we're going to make it through this together.

We promise to keep you updated every step of the way. Your love and support has carried us this far, and we can't wait to share the journey with all of you.

From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU for believing in us and for helping make this miracle possible. We are so close to our goal, and with your help, we know we can get there!

With endless gratitude and love, Acaiyah and family!

Please continue sharing our story and consider donating if you're able. Every bit of support means the world to us! 💕

Hi friends and family!

Acaiyah had a follow up with her neurosurgeon in Houston last week. He said he is impressed with Acaiyah's strength, coordination, and mobility. However, he is concerned with the increasing frequency and severity of her symptoms. He also expressed concern about the muscle atrophy on the right side of her body.

Dr. ordered for a new round of imaging to be done, including full spine and brain MRIs, with and without contrast, and a full spine X-Ray. We were able to get the X-ray done the same day of the follow up. We added a photo that has a comparison of her Spine in 2022 (left) vs her spine now (right). She has "Convex Scoliosis."

2022 Scoliosis measurements:

Upper spine Cobb angle: 33 degrees

Lower spine Cobb angle: 11 degrees

Current measurements:

Upper spine Cobb angle: 30 degrees

Lower spine Cobb angle: 21 degrees

So, minimal change on the top end of her spine but a significant increase in the on the bottom of her spine.

The MRIs are scheduled for April 8th so we will definitely post more updates on that day.

Thank you all for your prayers and support!! Please consider sharing her fundraising page if you haven't already and/or making a donation! As a reminder, all donations are a 100% tax deduction on a personal and/or business level.

God bless
