Help for Canada's Million $ Baby
Donation protected
Jennifer Huculak and her husband have been saddled with a medical bill of nearly $1 million after she gave birth to her daughter Reece in the U.S.
Huculak was six months pregnant when she flew to Hawaii for a holiday with her husband in October 2013. Before her trip, she bought Blue Cross insurance and received approval from her doctor.
But two days into her trip, Huculak's water broke and she spent the next six weeks on bed rest in a Hawaiian hospital. Her daughter was born nine weeks early and spent two months in intensive care.
While she's grateful that her 11-month-old daughter is now healthy, Huculak and her husband were left with a $950,000 medical bill.
Blue Cross is refusing to pay any of the amount, arguing that Huculak had a pre-existing condition.
Huculak’s family is now considering filing for bankruptcy and are debating whether to challenge the insurance company in court.
In Canada we are so lucky that we have our medical needs covered with the system in place, We too often take that for granted. What if together we could assist the family to get through this struggle by coming together? If a million give $1 each or 100,000 each give $10. the debt would be cleared, and the family go get back to celebrating that beautiful little girls good health
Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much!
All funds raised go directly to the Huculak family, so that they can apply the money to the outstanding bills.
If things move ahead, and the insurance company decides to come through, all money raised will go to the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit at the Saskatoon hospital.
Thank you all for your support and compassion!
