The Missy Project Community Screening Program - continued
The cost of the screening is expensive, enough so that a typical family could not afford the cost, as currently it is seen as "elective medical intervention" and is NOT currently covered by Insurance.
The costs range from $1,000-$2,500.
To sustain this program and to make it available to even more children and others that are at risk,
we need to raise $100,000.

THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP

Sponsor Our Screenings (SOS) for $500

Of those who survive, approximately 50% suffer some permanent neurological deficit. - Of all strokes in the United States, 33% are caused by Brain Aneurysms , which cause the highest Mortality rate in stroke victims in the U.S. - With two family members with Brain Aneurysm Disease history of all the above symptoms the percentage of incident increases dramatically to 20% .
