Now, Kelsey runs the risk of suffering additional brain damage if she doesn’t have a more successful procedure.
There is a medical professional who may be able to help Kelsey, but it would be a very costly process.
Kelsey’s friends and family have started a GoFundMe so that she can see Dr. Steinberg at Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, California.
Dr. Steinberg is an expert when it comes to Moyamoya and has performed over 2,000 procedures that help restore blood flow.
Dr. Steinberg feels that Kelsey is a great candidate and that they need to act soon. She could have additional strokes that would only continue to deteriorate her health if she didn’t get the surgery. The doctor recommends that Kelsey gets to California in a matter of weeks.
Kelsey’s family is in need of help to afford the trip. Travel accommodations for the procedure are not covered by insurance and will cost a pretty penny.
“If you feel in your heart inclined to help Kelsey and her family and take some of the financial stress off of an already very scary and stressful situation, we are asking for donations to help cover travel, medical, and care expenses for Kelsey and her upcoming surgery,” writes Katie Barnes on Kelsey’s GoFundMe page.
