Help Kellies Son Chase Cover His ICU Expenses
**update - 2/20 We appealed the ambulance bill and won, meaning we were able to lessen our goal by $7000! What a miracle. Please keep sharing, though - Chase still has hospital bills to pay off! **
** update - Chase has been in ICU since 10/19 and is still there. Medical bills keep piling up so I adjusted the amount to help raise, for Chase.**
**Update: the medical bills keep piling on. A $7k ambulance bill for Chase just came in. Now leaving $9k total he owes.*
Hi, I’m Kimberli, and I’m here to raise support for my dear friend Kellie and her son Chase.
In September, Kellie's world was turned upside down when her son Chase was rushed to the ICU due to life-threatening complications from his type 1 diabetes. Thankfully, he pulled through, but the challenges didn’t end there. Due to a recent change in his insurance, he was kicked off his state coverage because he "makes too much," even though his financial situation tells a different story. His new insurance doesn't cover much, leaving them with an immediate $2,000 out-of-pocket medical bill.
Kellie is a hardworking, loving mom doing everything she can to care for her son, but this unexpected burden is more than they can handle alone. I’m asking for help on her behalf to give her some relief in this difficult time. Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a huge difference and go directly to covering her son’s medical expenses.
Kellie is still recovering from a major surgery herself, and is still unable to work full time while raising four kids solely!
So if you can contribute to this sweet momma and her son, it would mean the world to them. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
**Side note, I didn't have Chase's information, and as this was a surprise for both Kellie and her son, I set it up under Kellie's name. However, whatever we raise, will be going directly to Chase's bills to help him nip this medical junk in the butt ASAP. So thank you all again!
