Help Suzanne with medical expenses
My name is Adriana Barone and I am
reaching out to you on behalf of our local treasure , Dr Suzanne Kirby. Suzanne has been my healer, my friend, and a true
blessing in my life for many years. And
now she needs our help.
Dr Kirby has been a vital resource in our community since she began her Chiropractic / Nutrition practice in the mid 1980’s. Many of us grew up with Suzanne as our family doctor. She is generous to a fault,
compassionate by nature and an
excellent healing arts practioner. One of the first to being alternative therapies to the East End.
As many of you know , Suzanne has been facing a health challenge of her own.
About 4 years ago Suzanne began experiencing some major hearing loss and tinnitus. She was diagnosed with Meniers . This has made it difficult for her to work and do daily activities .
Meniers Disease is a condition of unknown origin that involves hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo. Meniers can be quite debilitating totally ,it is very challenging to diagnose, stubborn to treat, and affects ones quality of life
tremedously.
Determined to heal, Suzanne devoted the last 4 years to her personal healing journey, seeking to alleviate her condition and to understand healing on a deeper
level.
She began exploring numerous
treatment modalities to address her hearing loss and meniers including stem cell therapy,hearing aids,allergy testing and treatment, various detoxes, herbs, mold detox, herbs and diet to
decrease inflammation and bring about
provement in hearing and tinnitus.
Recently on a Cat Scan the Drs. found Suzanne has a congenital issue
with her ear bone thinning of the superior semi canal , which may also be contributing to her issue.
However , the surgery is risky and there
is a good chance it will not resolve the
issues .
Suzanne is now working with a new
Meniers Specialist who is
recommending new updated hearing aids. Hearing aids are expensive and an out of pocket expense. The Dr
is also recommending some new cutting edge therapies and some medications.
Considered a pre- existing condition,
Suzanne’s insurance has not stepped up to cover much of her medical expenses. They have paid very little for any treatments she has done or will have
done .
At this point, Suzanne has paid out of pocket from savings and retirement for all her trearments , including
the Doctors, MRI, cat scans , blood work, and all the therapies she has
has undergone.
New hearing aids, therapies and meds
are estimated to
cost an additional 28,000.00
Suzanne has done so much for all of us
over many years that I thought it would
be great if family, friends and community could cometogether to raise funds to
help pay some of these needed therapies
So today I am asking for your support of Suzanne and if you can contribute
something toward her medical bills.
I feel like it is time for us to give back to
one who has always given so much to us.
Thank you,
Adriana Barone
