Jeniel Petrovich hasn't added a story.
My name is Jen, and I’m a single mom of 3. In the last couple of weeks, my 14 yr old daughter became ill, experiencing constant nausea and vomiting. At first, I thought she might have a stomach virus, but as the days went by, she didn’t get better and no one else in the house got sick. I took her to the ER on day 4 and she was sent home with anti-nausea medicine. On day 6, we went to a different hospital, and she was immediately admitted. After nearly a week, they still didn’t know what it was that was making her so sick. She was weak, pale, and losing weight. Finally, after an endoscopy was done, they found that she had a rarely active bacterial infection in her intenstine. She was prescribed several medications to treat the bacteria. After the first few doses in the hospital, the change in her was incredible. However, upon discharge, we found out that without insurance, one of her medications cost anywhere between $600-$1100 dollars, and that’s just the generic brand. My children lost their Medicaid insurance just last month, and I can’t afford this medication. I’ve tried discount programs, going through the manufacturer, and requesting alternate meds, without success. I know I’m going to be receiving a huge hospital bill since it was a five day stay, including a minor surgery, but that’s the least of my worries. As long as I can get her the medication she needs to get better, I can figure out the rest. I’m asking for help in paying for Bella’s medication as soon as possible. The longer she goes without her medication, the faster her recovery will reverse. Please help me get my daughter back to her usual, energetic self by donating and sharing. Anything helps, nothing is too small. Thank you so much.
