Little girl needs a big operation and co payments just gets more

My baby was born with a sacral dimple on 01 March 2020. When she was born they did an MRI of her spinal cord. They paid the MRI in full. 2 weeks ago we went to the Neuro in Kimberley where she wrote a motivation for a second MRI as they need to see the brain etc. They need to operate in 5 months on my baby and if they do not have all the facts and make 110 percent sure my baby can be paralyzed. As ordered by the neuro she started with therapy at an occupational the****** which i need to pay out of my pocket brcause my medical aid is exhausted, i am currently on unpaid uif but still ensure to pay my medical aid each month because you can not put a price on my babies life. Well yesterday the radiology phoned me I need to pay them R3000 for the MRI. I know she had one allready but the reason for a second one was justified. We started a facebook page for my girl to see if we can get some donations for ALL the payments my medical aid may reject. but because of the covid pandemic no one has extra money at this stage. I love my medical aid provider they have been good to me for so long but this is such a difficult time for all of us. #sad
