Emer's Medical Help
Hello. My name is Emer Prevost, and I need a little bit of help.
About a month ago, I was sent to the hospital with a bad leg infection. I was in the hospital for five days, during which time they cut a chunk of infected flesh from the back of my calf. Since then, I have had to wear a wound vac device, and I am waiting for it to heal.
Since my hospital visit, I have been unable to return to work. My employer denied my short-term disability claim, so I have literally no money coming in at this time.
Today (11/18/16), during my regular appointment at the hospital to have the dressing on the wound vac changed and to check the progress of the wound, they informed me that I will need the device for about another month. So, I cannot return to work until then.
I have gone through most of my savings covering expenses and bills, and now I need help.
While insurance is covering most of my medical bills, I need help covering day-to-day expenses and my other bills. The $800 I am asking for may not cover it all, but it will certainly help. Any extra beyond that would help greatly.
This entire ordeal has stressed me out to no end. I have been worried about my leg. I have worried about when I can return to work. I have worried about keeping my bills paid. All of this is one of the contributing reasons why I can barely sleep.
Any help would be amazing. I thank you for taking the time to read this, and if you donate, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
