Hello Dear Friends,

We had actually hoped to avoid doing this, but with so many people asking how they can help Veronica and where they can donate, we thought it would be best to set up this account.  
As many of you know, Veronica was suddenly struck with a life threatening auto immune disease called Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (AHUS) in early July.  She spent 22 days in the hospital enduring several rounds of dialysis and plasmaphoresus treatments.  She has fought like a champion and was released from the hospital, but unfortunately will need to take an extremly expensive mediation for the rest of her life.  The drug is called Soliris, and cost over $500,000 per year.  This drug is literally the only thing available in modern medicine that can keep her alive. Luckily we have good insurance, but our max out of pocket expenses were met within the month, and we are looking at medical bills in the amount of $7000.  We have no idea when Veronica will be able to return to work and our finances are running short.  If you know Veronica at all, you know there is nothing she wouldn't do to help another person in need,  and as hard as it is to admit and ask, we are the ones who need your help this time.
If anyone is willing and able to donate towards our medical expenses, we would be eternally grateful.

Thank you in advance,
Veronica and Brian Anderson
