Please help my mom pay for medical bills
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Sungmin, and I am starting this GoFundMe page in the interest of helping my mother, Kate Kim. She was transported to ER on February 22 after consuming a mushroom burger from a local Shake Shack store. She lost her consciousness from severe dehydration and was finally diagnosed with gastroenteritis after being observed for a day.
We submitted a complaint to Shake Shack but its insurance company, Chubb, immediately shut us down and denied her case. Now she is sitting with medical bills totaling thousands of dollars that she can barely afford.
For the past 13 years, my mother has been a clerk at MJ Donuts, a local donut shop located in Pineville, NC near Charlotte. She is an incredibly hard working and kind lady, and after decades of hard working she was finally getting ready for her well-deserved retirement in this Summer before her 60th birthday.
- Everyone at MJ Donuts loves Katie!
Unfortunately, on top of her medical bills, she was struck by yet another bad news. On March 17th, my father received a notification from his landlord for his small retail store (Batteries and Bulbs in Matthews, NC) that he needs to vacate his store by the end of this May without an option to further renew the lease. This unexpected news has completely melted my mother down. With her medical bills and my father's business going down in two months, she is left with no choice but having to fold her dream of retirement.
While $5,000 is our goal to help her with medical bills, even a fraction of it would be a huge moral support for my mother. She would truly appreciate anyone's help on this.
