Cindy Payne's Medical Assistance
Donation protected
Our generous friend, Cindy was hospitalized on September 18 for myositis, a debilitating breakdown of the muscles, caused by statins she started two years ago to bring down her cholesterol levels. Her condition has progressed to the point where, at the moment, she can neither stand or walk. She has been at Prestige Rehab in Edmonds since September 26.
Updated news on Cindy's care is here. She has made some gains in strength and is scheduled for her first IVIG treatment in mid December. She has every intention of getting better and getting home!
Cindy has asked me to manage the funds for her in a dedicated bank account which I have opened. The funds will be spent directly for her home care, adaptive devices and physical therapy. What she needs will be beyond what Medicare insurance pays.
Private physical therapy can cost up to $200 an hour. Additional nursing care when Cindy returns home is imperative. She will need home health assistance. All this care is expensive, but we can help.
Cindy has been a generous friend and family member to so many. Here is our chance to give back. Who can help? Childhood friends from Western New York, theater and costuming friends from Cindy’s early days in Seattle, friends from her restaurant and catering work, friends from the music business, her fabulous days at the Backstage in Ballard, SeafoodFest, and Folklife. Her many neighborhood friends from Capitol Hill to Eastlake to North Seattle, friends from Cindy’s business—Payneless Promotions, friends from Washington Women in Trades and so many more.
Please help by giving what you can. Please help by passing this on to anyone else who knows Cindy. Let’s do this.
