Opal is a brilliant 5-year-old kindergartener who, unfortunately, has a Chiari Malformation, that has now presented with a syrinx creating a need for surgery*. We are raising money to help cover the out-of-pocket max for her medical bills, doctors, and the time her mother will need to take off work unpaid.
You can show your support by donating to Opal's GoFundMe, or contributing a meal for the family.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a huge difference for Opal and our family. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing these links to help us reach as many people as possible.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, and generosity.
With gratitude,
Family of Opal Pauly
*The surgery will be on February 26th. There is a syrinx present--which is spinal fluid backed up inside of the spinal cord. Opal has no symptoms at this point, but if left untreated she will.
Recovery will take 3 months of no activity and avoiding all ailments as much as possible. Please understand if we limit visitors during this critical time.
