Need help with medical expenses for liver trans
Well everyone, first let me tell you I hate asking for help. Anyone that knows me knows this, but I am in need.
Here is my story, that I hate telling, but you all need to hear it. I need a new liver, and no it’s not from drinking. About 8 years ago I tried to commit suicide; I overdosed on pills and it killed my liver. I still suffer from depression and bipolar every day, but along with that I have: diabetes, cirrhosis, Psoriatic arthritis, Portal hypertensive gastropathy, Hashimoto's disease, Antral gastritis, Immunosuppression, GERD, Hyperlipidemia along with other conditions. I am writing this because everyone says they want to help me out. Well, my copays for my testing, medical procedures and medications are out of control; and it’s too much on us. Plus, now we have to start traveling to Philadelphia to set me up for the live donor program that is in Penn Medical Hospital. With Kevin having to take days off to take me to procedure after procedure now, it’s hard strain on us.
I am usually the one helping everyone else out, and this hurts my heart that I need help, but I can’t do this alone anymore. It’s to the point that we pay bills or get my medicine -which I am on about 25 of them a day, and keep getting more added every time I go to the hospital or to the doctor. We applied for assistance and we don’t qualify for help because we make too much according to the state, but we don’t have it with all my medical expenses. It’s a struggle everyday for me with all my medical problems and being in liver failure. This was the hardest thing to write for me because I am not one to ask for help. I am supposed to help other people not the other way around. So I hate to ask but anything you can send will be a big help on this long journey I have to take.
Thank you for your time to read this. All my friends and family thank you for your support. We will get through this, it’s just another part of my journey that has a bumpy road, or as I like to call it a road in Scranton lol (potholes) -had to make a joke.
As a lot of you know I have a lot of niece’s and nephews, some by blood, but most by just being family by association. So please if you can help Aunt Sarah out. I need to be here for my nieces and nephews. Since I can’t have children they are all mine in my heart. Please help me, not only for me, but for the kids.
Thank you sincerely,
Aunt Sarah
