Melanie's Medical Fund

Donation protected
Hello, everyone

My name is Melanie Schuster and I am a writer.  I had to retire from my full-time job due to medical reasons and my income was mainly long-term disability and Social Security disability.  A few months ago my long-term disability was cut off and I am still trying to find out why and how it happened.  Getting it reinstated will be a long, tedious journey if it even happens.  

When my disability was taken away, so was my supplemental insurance.  I owe thousands of dollars in medical bills because I had two procedures that should have been covered but weren't.  I take a lot of medcation because I am diabetic and also have high blood pressure.  Now that my supplemental insurance is gone, I can't afford my prescriptions.  I am out of several medications and I have to take the ones I have every other day to make them last.  I can't continue to do this because I am seriously jeopardizing my health.  I must pay these bills so that my doctors will continue to treat me.  I am under the care of several doctors due to my current medical condition.  I have labored with poor health for several years, unfortunately.

I will use the funds to pay my bills and to get the medications I so badly need.  I need help with this as soon as possible.  

This campaign means the difference between a healthy life and a very sick one, so I hope that you can help.  I have gone without my ulcer medication for three months and the daily pain makes life not worth living.   I never thought I would be in this position and it is a humbling experience.  I have often given to GoFundMe, but it never occurred to me that I might need some help one day.

It's hard to describe how grateful I will be for any help that anyone can offer.   Any help you can give will be treasured and I will pay it forward because of the gratitude that will fill my heart.  I come from a very small family and they aren't able to help me financially.  I will consider anyone who is able to help me like a family member andI will never forget your generosity.  God won't forget it either and He will bless you for your caring spirit.
