Carol's Health Support Fund

Donation protected



Hello Friends, Family and Guests,

         To those who don't know me, I'm Carol Josselyn.  I suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury from back surgery over three years ago that left me paralyzed from the chest down. 

         Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover everything, especially skilled nursing, caregiving expenses and certain medical equipment and supplies.  My friend Adam Mullin set up this funding account for me.

         My monthly out-of-pocket health care costs are in excess of $5,000.   My debt for medical expenses not covered by insurance is in excess of $168,000 thus far, including a three month stay in a rehab facility and in-home caregiving expenses.  I'm unable to keep up with these substantial medical expenses on a teacher's salary. (I teach online).

         Efforts to recoup these funds by legal means were unsuccessful and have been exhausted as the statute of limitations has passed.  In addition to massive debt, I have depleted my life savings.  I need some financial support as these costs will be ongoing. 

         If you could please help by making a donation of any amount, I'd be very grateful.  All funds will be used exclusively for healthcare expenses and drawing down my debt.

Thank you so much,
Carol
