Chris Longe Chrohns fund
Donation protected
Many of you are aware that Chris Longe has been out of work and very sick with crohn's and complications of this disease. He's been out of work for more than a year. Chris has applied and is currently going through the appeal process for disability but it's been an almost two-year process so far. He's had no income for almost 2 years and his health isn't expected to get any better. Any donation no matter how small or large would really help out right now to help with bills and expenses and gas to get to doctors appointments. He recently lost his job of 25 years because he can no longer work and therefore lost his health insurance and therefore his doctor will not see him until he gets other health insurance although the paperwork is in process that hasn't happened yet so the doctor won't even see him until he has his copays. Many of his visits are with specialists which are very costly copays. He needs these doctor's appointments in order to try to get his disease under control and to provide information to the social security administration from his doctors for his disability claim. it's been a long arduous road and there are days that Chris can't even get off the couch because he's so ill. any small amount would be a blessing to help with groceries or gas or medical co-payments, and most of all regular monthly bills so he doesn't end up homeless or without utilities. Crohn's disease is a lifelong disease that is guaranteed to come back even after short periods of remission. He's had numerous surgeries but his chrohns is getting worse rather better at this point. He needs regular medical attention to try to get this under control. Stress causes this disease to flare and become much worse so stressing about money is detrimental in every way. If you can afford it and find it in your heart any little donation will help thank you in advance.
