Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,701 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($1,259). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bellevue.

So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Birmingham.

Thinking of you, Rowan. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
what exactly is the $6,400 for?
It's all in the list in the story. surgeon and anesthesia fees is the big one at $3,750, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Good luck, Rowan. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 36 people at work.
Rooting for you, Rowan. This could happen to any of us. All the best
