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.
