Help Lori’s Family Recover from Surprise Surgery

Donation protected
My sister, Susan, is a single mom who recently stopped a 20+ year elementary teaching career to tutor full-time at home and care for my mother, who has a rare condition where her body shuts down (Myasthenia Gravis).

This morning, her daughter Lori woke up and collapsed on the floor screaming from pain and is now being transported to have hip surgery due to slipped capital femoral epiphysis (her hip bone doesn’t line up right with her leg).

My sister does not have health insurance at the moment and, as I said, is a single mother trying to take care of my widowed mother as well. Any amount of donation is greatly appreciated.

***Update: Thanks so much to all of those who donated so far! Lori just got out of surgery which seems to have gone well! Praise God and thanks for the prayers too!

My sister did just get Medicaid, however it only covers some and we have yet to find out total cost and what will be covered.

***Update 4/6: So far we discovered that the wheelchair was not covered. It’s our first experience with Medicaid so we aren’t sure how much of the surgery/ physical therapy/Dr visits will be.

The money raised will be used for these things as well as in place of working money lost due to having to care for Lori.
