Rayana needs skull surgery!

Rayana is only 8 months old. She has early-onset craniosynostosis—a premature fusion of the sutures of the skull. This is more than just a cosmetic problem. Without surgery, the skull deformity will progress, limiting brain development, vision, hearing, and future quality of life. To give Rayana a chance for normal development, doctors have prescribed titanium plate surgery—the only way to correct the skull shape, relieve pressure on the brain, and prevent irreversible damage. The young family has only been able to raise a small amount of funds. The father, an appliance repairman, works part-time. The mother cares for Rayana and two other children. The family rents an apartment, and the surgery is urgent, so saving up for such a sum is impossible. This surgery is necessary as soon as possible to prevent irreversible damage. Following the surgery, doctors guarantee normal brain and nervous system development, a corrected skull shape, the ability to grow, learn, and laugh—like any child—and the chance for a full, free childhood. Even a small amount makes a big difference! Every repost can reach someone who can help! Together, we make the impossible possible. Join us in this good work!
