Announcing the Campaign to Bring Lesley Home



Help fund the travel and living expenses required to bring a woman back to her family for medical treatment

Brockton, MA  – March 9, 2015 – Annette Christine, dedicated friend and tireless supporter, announces the campaign to bring her friend back home to begin medical treatment for a variety of debilitating ailments.

Only a month before her wedding at the age of 25, Lesley suffered a heart attack. It was discovered that Peripheral Artery Disease was the cause, and is also the cause of misdiagnosed blood clot formations and nerve damage that have resulted in her inability to fully use her left leg. Recently she was given odds of a 50% chance of death in 5 years and 70% in 10 years. 

Unfortunately, the state she resides in has substandard healthcare, but strict guidelines regarding pain medication. Although she lives in constant pain due to the nerve damage , which resulted from prolonged arterial blockage, Lesley has no access to any pain medication. Only a pain management physician can prescribe the medication, and her medicaid insurance will not pay for pain management. Now she received a letter saying her Medicaid will end March 31st.

Lesley's only wish is to move her and her family back to Massachusetts, where she can receive quality care before she runs out of time. Clots are constantly trying to form, despite her being on 4 different blood thinners. There is also a very real possibility of amputation in the near future. Above all, she needs access to pain management care.

Please help raise enough money for Lesley to relocate here, along with enough for a few months of living expenses so she and her family can focus on getting her care started right away.
