Biography

I am 6 months old and have been diagnosed with plagiocephaly and brachycephaly. It means I have cranial asymmetry which causes my brain to grow in an abnormal direction. The DOC Band is going to reshape my head so my brain will grow normally.

My Purpose

I need a DOC band for my plagiocephaly and brachycephaly. Our insurance has refused to cover it, as they say, it is an "Out of Network Provder",. We are asking for anyone to help us raise the money to get my band and travel expenses. The treatment requires us to go to Dallas every week or two, depending on my growth to have the band adjusted to my needs. We live 400 miles from Dallas so it will be rather expensive to drive and spend the night.

Who I am:
My name is Courtney and I am 6 months old. My mother is a 25 yr. old nurse and my father is a 28 yr. old GIS specialist.

What I need and what brought me to MicroGiving:
I have plagiocephaly and brachycephaly which has caused my brain to grow in an abnormal direction. I need a DOC Band to reshape my head.

My circumstance and my need for help:
Our insurance has denied coverage due to an "Out of Network Provider", but the place we have chosen is the only place that provides this treatment. It is 400 miles away from my home, and we will have to travel there every week or two for adjustments of my band depending on my growth. They hope I will only have to wear it a few months. We just need a little help to afford the band and travel expenses.

Hey, guess what, Donors can use paypal to fund their accounts again...pass the word and promote your profile to all your social networks to bring in more donors.

The best way to receive donations is to promote your profile link
outside of MicroGiving.  Our Donors already know you are here, they
search for recipients using the filters on the search page.  It's the
responsibility of all recipients to help bring new donors in and most
of us do this by making friends and promoting for our friends who in
turn promote our fund raiser, being part of the community and
socializing will help you find people willing to promote your profile
to their social networks in exchange for your promotions of theirs.
