Holly Alonzo is a young wife and mother.
Holly, her husband, and son
When she was 13 years old she was blinded by a brain tumor. This tumor nearly took her life. She is very fortunate to still be alive today.
Holly Has been diagnosed with having a rare disease called neurofibromatosis2. This disease causes tumors to grow anywhere along the nervous system, but especially on both right and left hearing and balance nerves.
Holly has already had surgery to remove one of the tumors on her right hearing and balance nerve. The only hearing she has left is on the left side. But that side has a tumor on it as well.
She needs to have this tumor surgically removed as well to prevent this tumor from ending her life. Doing so willleave her completely deaf-blind. The only chance to any hearing at all will be with the auditory brainstem implant.
These implantsare only done in a few locations in the world. Her insurance will not pay for sucha device since it is out of her area. She needs your help if there will ever be any chance for her to hear her little boy as he is growing up. The smallest sound will be so important to her.
If this touches your heart, and you would like to help this young lady out, please donate to help her keep some hearing to be able to continue to hear her son call her mommaand her husband tell her he loves her. Held give Holly hope, by allowing her to hear the world around her.

Damn it. Your fund’s paypal button is refusing my password. It works, I just checked with real PayPal. so something’s wrong with your fund’s button.

Hey, I checked our site’s buttons. They worked. Then I did some research. PayPal site was hacked and for awhile some things didn’t work right. Please try again. Holly needs you.

Two seconds. Holly will have more money. I don’t have a lot to give, but I’ve put up a blog post asking everyone to give. I hope it helps. I don’t have a wider audience…hmmm…but I could try.

Darn it all it still doesn’t work. Email me privately and give me the paypal address and I’ll do it via my own PayPal

Hi. Your resident dope here telling you that I managed to make a payment. Uh, chief, it helps to put in an amount before logging in.
But one little thing to report that I don’t think is my fault. After I got the “You made a payment.” screen, I was promptly redirected to a 404 not found screen. Her-rumph. but what matters is the cash is in the box, small as it may be.
