Querys:Together We Kick Crohns Ar$e

Donation protected

Hi folks, I'm Tom Fiscella. My good friends the Querys really need your help today. Since August of 2012, Mom, Lisa, has undergone expensive testing and treatment for chronic and incurable Crohn's Disease
The resulting medical debt the family has incurred has reached a critical point.

Just as a treatment plan for Lisa was starting to come into focus, Dad, Todd, was released from his job without warning, and the family lost the insurance coverage they had through his work. Monthly premiums and new deductibles and co-pay amounts for new self-pay coverage shot medical expenses through the roof.


Now, more than two years later, Lisa's treatment is working and the Crohn's is showing signs of remission.


But the financial cost of getting to this point has built up a nearly insurmountable medical debt of $51,000, and the Querys are facing the very real possibility of losing their health insurance altogether and declaring bankruptcy.

As a community of family, longtime friends, and friends not yet met, we can all stop this from happening. We can help the Querys erase this high medical debt and keep their private-pay insurance premiums covered as Lisa continues her treatment.

Lisa is a counselor,* and Todd is an ordained minister -- both of them compassionate and caring, guiding many young adults toward happy and fulfilling lives. They're such good people, doing good deeds in their community. So let's do some good for them. I hope you'll join me and financially donate** whatever you can, and/or share this campaign with others via email, Facebook or Twitter.


For those who are interested, more detail about their situation, directly from the family, can be found in Todd Query's comment, "A Message from the Querys," below.


Thanks so much for your attention, and your kindness and generosity, at any level you can offer. I know we can do this, together.

— Tom
