Help Brittany Foster Pay For Medical Bills
Donation protected
Hey friends. My sweet friend, Brittany Foster, has had some unexpected health issues occur recently. She has woken up twice within four days of each other with hives all over her body, tightness of chest, and stomach pain. She made it to the ER, but became very dizzy and projectile vomited. Her blood pressure dropped drastically and she began to go into cardiac arrest.
On May 12th, she was taken by ambulance to the ER for anaphylaxis. Within one hour, she was being admitted for emergency surgery to remove her acute gangrenous gallbladder. She was also informed that if she had come in 48 hours later that she would have been septic and there would have been nothing they could have done. They had her on antibiotics for three days before performing the surgery. The result of that hospital stay and surgery is an allotment of over $78,000 in medical bills. Because she was out for so long her entire paycheck was absorbed and she received no paycheck for May and half of a paycheck for June. She is not currently able to make her July or August rent, but has been doing odd jobs to come up with some money.
In the past, Brittany's identity has also been stolen by a family member, which caused Brittany to become homeless and eventually drop out of school. After years of working hard, she was able to dig herself out of that hole and go back to school six years later. She has completed her Bachelor's degree and was on her way to obtaining a teaching credential when this unexpected and unexplainable illness happened. Brittany has been set back from being able to pursue her teaching credential and still does not own a car because of the damage that had been done with her credit. These events have left Brittany feeling overwhelmed and defeated in her dreams and needs the Lord to move in a powerful way.
Her current medical bills amount to over $100,000, $550 for rent, and also in need of car. In the future, she may need more epi pens for the unexpected reactions in her body (that are seriously life threatening), which cost around $300 each. If you feel led to give financially or even just support her through prayer, I would be so grateful! Brittany is a good friend of mine and she needs some financial support fast. Would you consider giving even $5, $10, or $20 dollars? Also, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or Brittany! Thanks.
