2024 Fundraiser Raffle

We are helping Journey on her journey to have a comfortable life and help mom and dad not stress as much during the holiday season. Tickets are $5 each. Drawing will be held on Facebook Live January 1st at 12PM.

Hello, my name is R-Riana Spivey-Johnson, and I am writing on behalf of my newborn Journey Chanel Spivey-Johnson. When I found out I was pregnant for a third time, my husband and I were elated! Our family would grow by one, and I would get the chance to embrace neonatal motherhood once more.

However, several months into my first trimester, I began experiencing difficulties; it was after several rounds of imaging, testing and blood work that doctors informed me that although still in-vitro, the fetus was diagnosed with meningoencephalocele, a type of meningocele, which is a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled hemial sac lined and covered by meninges. An encephalocystocele is a developmental malformation characterized by brain herniation and extracranial cystic protrusion of the ventricular system, A meningoencephalocele (MEC) is a developmental abnormality of the central nervous system that occurs when brain tissue herniates through a skull base opening and is covered by meninges; essentially this prevents the fetus' skull from fully forming, which causes excess fluid from the brain to hemorrhage, elongate and stretch the cranium and scalp, causing a deformity.

Doctors then gave my family and I a grim diagnosis, that she would not survive birth, and that the family should prepare for the worst. Upon learning this, the option to terminate the pregnancy was suggested; however, I rejected the notion, if my child was meant to survive then I felt the need to adhere to my maternal instinct. On May 15, 2024 my third daughter was born otherwise healthy, and as expected, the deformity was apparent.

I have recently had to resign from my place of employment of nearly a decade in order to care for my child on a full time basis, in that I am her primary caretaker and must be available to travel to Columbus, Ohio in order for her to receive treatment and in some cases, surgeries; doctors have also informed me of the possibility that Journey may be both visually and hearing impaired. The recent turn of events have caused a financial strain on my household and I am humbly asking for any possible financial assistance for Journey's future care. I do not regret the decisions I have made concerning my child, I am merely requesting the funds to ensure that she may live a comfortable life. Thank you in advance for considering.

We offer a wide range of courses from beginner to advanced. When you get certified through PDR, you don't just get scuba certified. You join the Professional Diving family.

Just got back from Cozumel with Steve, Nikki, and the gang. It was absolutely amazing. They made me feel right at home even though I am diving with them from Arizona. Roberta's dive shack was the location and if anything wasn't taken care of all you had to do was ask. The hotel was quaint, clean and very accommodating. The diving was outstanding from the boat dives to the shore dives. The diversity of wildlife and reefs that we saw were crazy and the water clarity was 100-150ft daily. Thanks for a wonderful trip and can't wait until I can tag along on another adventure with you guys.
