Help Valerie Luggi Beat Cancer

Donation protected

Aug 9 2015 ***UPDATES***

I gotta say my friends.. Without your donations, we would barely have enough to get my mom through a month to make rent or pay for the steady income of bills rolling in . She is incapable of working, still dealing with the aftermath of surgery and shingles.. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE & SUPPORT! ♥♥♥

Nursing her back to health without much assistance from her healthcare has been quite challenging. 

They didn’t even accept her for rehabilitation even though her doctors said it was necessary!
They wouldn’t approve her for pain killers just 2 weeks after 2 major surgeries.
They tried to get her out of the hospital just 2 days after having her organs removed!!!
We rarely received cohesive answers from specialists, miscommunication between doctors we’re common place and the only guidance we received from her doctors came in the form of small anecdotes such as, “stay out of the sun” and “eat more grains”.

She needs full comprehensive Professional Nutritional Guidance and Therapy.

but what now…??? 

Her Social Security Disability drops her of what little benefits she has, just days out of the hospital!! 

Right after surgery they threatened to take her food stamps and health care away because they claimed she was cured before she received a single follow up appointment! No consultations, urine tests, CT scans, X-rays, Nada… If thats not arrogantly presumptuous, I don’t know what is..

Their actions are unacceptable. We are forced to defend ourselves in court.

Medicaid's United Health Care has been a terror to deal with. Everyone I’ve spoken with in any medical field has agreed.. More tough times ahead, but our spirits are high and we are taking the necessary steps to naturally heal Val on our own.

We hope that everyone continues to support and pray for us, share/like our gofundme posts and continue to bless us with your heartfelt donations.

This has been one long drawn out heck of a ride, but we’re not giving up!

You have our sincerest appreciation 

Thank you, Peace, and Love
Jack and Valerie

Hello friends, family, loved ones. We really need your help.

My mother, Valerie Luggi, has been diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer).

My cousin Stephanie Goldwich and I have created this page to reach out to others that can help us get Val the proper care she needs to rid her body of cancer and prevent it from relapsing.

Valerie is the kindest most compassionate human anyone could hope to meet, and would never settle without helping a friend or loved one in such dire need of care as she requires now.

She was diagnosed on Jan 20, 2015 

Its apparent that this is a long standing issue. She's has Stage III RCC with a 6”x 4”x3" tumor on the her left kidney. To make matters worse, she was admitted to a hospital without health insurance and unable to pay for treatment out of pocket.

With not much to her name and little that family can offer, we are seeking the kindness of others. The procedure is estimated to cost over $100,000.

1st. Doctors want to shrink the mass with Chemotharapy... (We would prefer to find an alternative form of treatment being that RCC is usually resistant to chemotherapy).. -please share your knowledge of the topic on the Victory4Val FB page

2nd. They must surgically remove the kidney

3rd.  Provide Val with the proper follow up treatment to prevent her from relapsing. 

We want everyone to spread the word; anything helps.  Please LIKE, SHARE and RE-POST. We need to prevent her from going into life long debt, fund her surgery/treatment and support her recovery back to health.

Thank you for your support <3<3<3
