Aryn and Maeve's Medical Bills
Donation protected
Hey all! It's been an unfortunately eventful couple of months, and I find myself in the uncomfortable position of needing to ask for help.
For Maeve: My sweet goblin has heart problems. We're still working on the official diagnosis, but we believe she might have HCM (Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) because that's not uncommon in her breed. We did an echocardiogram two months back and got her on a medication that might help, but she'll need another echo in December to find out if that is working (and then probably 1 a year for the rest of her life). If it is HCM, this condition is unfortunately incurable and if we don't stay on top of it, could be lethal. The imaging isn't cheap. It costs about a grand every time we go in. Normally I'd be able to save up for it, but as you might remember...
Me: I just had my appendix taken out. I thankfully caught it early and the appendectomy went smoothly, but after insurance it's looking like I owe about 5,500 in medical bills.
The timing on this couldn't be worse. I was recently in a car accident that totaled my old car and the "new" car I could afford needed quite a few repairs. Maeve also had her first diagnostic echocardiogram (which led us to her current treatment regimen). These things pretty well blew through what savings I had and before I could build up a new one, my appendix decided it was time to give up the ghost. The amount listed is the bare minimum I need for my medical bills and Maeve's upcoming echo. Having those things taken care of will allow me to stay afloat and hopefully build up a little resiliency again. Maeve has been the world to me since she came into my life a year ago, and I want to give her the best possible care so she'll hopefully have a good long life full of shoving her whole face into the face of anyone who comes over to visit. I know with everything going on times are tight for many, but if you've got anything at all to spare, it would mean the world to me if you could help us out. (If not, I'd love it if you could share this.)
