Approval

We have been approved for Iva's surgery, meaning, they have accepted our offer. It felt much like buying a house, which is really a crazy analogy, but it was just like that. They told us the asking price, we negotiated a down payment and a payment plan for the remaining balance. So now we have to cough up $21,000 between the hospital and doctor's fees, and then she will have surgery on the 26th. We will then need to make payments of $3000 a month until the remaining balance is paid off. The estimate for the total costs is around $50,000+.

We are hoping to kick start some fund raising again. Things have really slowed down to a trickle. It is hard to keep people excited about saving a life of someone they don't see everyday, or maybe even someone they don't know. But in addition to all of our other life duties. this is our other occupation--Saving Iva.

Please tell anyone and everyone you know who may be able to help. We have seen before what word of mouth can do and how generous people can be. She has made it this far only because people have opened their hearts to her. We can only hope that it continues to be so.
