Medical expenses for a burn survivor
Donation protected
I currently need help paying for rides to appointments, health insurance and anything health insurance doesn’t cover, food, and iron/nutrition supplements I’m low on. The new thing we are trying is hyperbaric medicine but it’s something I need to commit to in terms of having a ride to all 40 sessions—if I miss one, then they would drop me as a patient. It’s a commitment I can’t make unless I’m able to at least pay for the rides for them if I don’t have anyone to drive me.
I’ve been dealing with a chronic open wound that has been ongoing since 1999. I was involved in a fire accident that resulted in third degree burns. I am currently on IV antibiotics which is something new we are finally trying and will continue until the surgery finishes to insure a success.
Along side that treatment being continued since it started working in the past until we ran into an issue with the infection coming back and oral antibiotics not working. I’ve also been dealing with malnourishment since we can’t always afford food and very severe anemia that requires iron infusions and sometimes blood transfusions. Furthermore, there’s a chance I will need to do hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the near future depending on how that consult goes.
I am also struggling with getting rides to my appointments since everyone that normally helps me has started work. And I’ve tried asking the hospital for help but of course either nobody gets back to me or I get told they don’t offer transportation.
Please, any help, big or small would be greatly appreciated since I am finally getting close to the finish line this time around. And I would especially be grateful if anyone would be willing to also share my GoFundMe page. Again any help big or small would be appreciated.
