Help Ray Ward's Fight Against Renal Failure
Donation protected
Greetings Everyone, my name is Ray Ward and in all of my 67 years of living with 54 years steadily being on-time, dependable, personable and an extremely hard working employee for each position held. When you try to do right by everyone and every situation, it is so disheartening when you find yourself feeling like you are stranded in a situation like this without resources. On dialysis three times a week due to renal failure after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure, lost my job a little over two weeks ago for no apparent reason or warning and needing a $6100 lump sum cash payment for travel at sea dialysis! I'm the type of person who would help anyone if I could, yet didn't realize there were dialysis companies existing that do not accept any form of insurance (not even medicare), nor credit of any kind, only a lump sum cash or direct debit payment from indigent people. I am so blessed and grateful to have been able to scrimp and save to pay off my bucket list family cruise, via installments; before losing my much needed position. Like you, I am also wondering why medical expenses are so ridiculously high; but I wasn't informed by the travel agent nor the cruise company until a few days ago that this was required and they wouldn't accept my insurance. My doctor concurred that it was extremely life threatening, at this stage, to go seven days without treatment on a nonrefundable cruise and my family's resources are nowhere near being able to cover that within the next 30 days. We are still trusting ALMIGHTY GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS THE CHRIST for the life, health, strength and finances to be able to go together while there is still time!!! For those who feel led, any amount of assistance would be greatly appreciated and may GOD continue to bless you for caring and being able to give!!!
