Hi guys! I’d like to take a break from my regular funny posts to tell you about one of my best friends Lauren. Shes beautiful, kind, sweet, and absolutely wonderful. The thing is, she has a disease called diastematomyelia, a defect where the spinal cord divides into 2 cords.
The doctors predicted that she was never going to walk again. She had to go through 3 neurosurgeries. Even though the doctors predicted she’d never walk, she is walking! Now, you might be thinking “Well, your friend is a-ok! Whats this post about then?”
The thing is, Lauren wants to go to college. She wants to become a neurosurgeon herself and help other people. The problem is her mom is extremely tight on money. Her parents are divorced and her mother has to raise not only her, but her brother as well. Because of Lauren’s recent surgeries its even harder for her mother to juggle not only the cost of hospital bills but Lauren’s college tuition. Her father is an alcoholic who doesnt pay child support.
What can you do to help? Its easier than you think! She isnt asking for ANY donations. All you have to do is click a “vote” button. Dr.Pepper is holding a tuition giveaway. Theyre willing to pay up to $100,000 dollars in college tuition to the person who gets the most votes in this competition.
Please, CLICK HERE and vote for Lauren in this competition. It only takes a few seconds. If you cant do that, please signal boost this! Lauren is such an amazing person and it would bring me so much joy to see her be able to go to college so she can help out others in the future. Shes gone through SO much in her life, and just one second could make a huge difference.
Thank you so much for reading this.
