Help Lana and Laura with Medical Expenses

Just before Christmas of last year Lana first started experiencing pain in her gut and lower back. She eventually ended up in the ER and was given a CT scan and multiple other tests but unfortunately, those provided no answers as to what was going on. In January she received a referral for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Again, the results of those provided no help in getting to the root cause of her severe and chronic pain. She was then referred for an MRI and sent to a spine specialist. The MRI revealed two lower torn discs and a third bulged disc pinching the nerve. She has since had several shots along with two epidurals to try and ease her pain, with minimal results.

With the high level of pain and discomfort that Lana has been experiencing, she has had great difficulty eating and has suffered rapid weight and strength loss. Her health has deteriorated and she has temporarily traveled back to Wisconsin to receive around-the-clock care from family. Unfortunately, Laura has to remain back in South Carolina because of her job, their dogs, and to maintain the home they recently purchased before Lana’s health began to fail. More tests and possibly surgery will be needed to try and determine the exact cause and treatment of Lana’s illness. Because of her chronic health issues, she has been unable to work since the beginning of this year. To make matters worse, Lana’s job was unable to provide health insurance and Lana and Laura have been paying out of pocket for all medical tests and procedures. As all of you know, these are two of the hardest-working people you could come across, and it took some serious convincing to let us set this account up for them. Without insurance and only a single income, the medical debt is becoming significant. We are hoping to provide these ladies with some financial relief while they continue to focus on Lana regaining her health. Thanks in advance for all of your support.
