Hello family and friends. Let me tell you a little story. As a child I was in cheerleading, track and field, softball and along with that came many, many competitions and long hours of training and practice. Through all of this I was lucky to have my mother at her prime pushing me (and driving me crazy) every step of the way. She was both my biggest supporter and coach in cheerleading and softball. She never missed a practice, game or competition. She played ball herself and loved every minute of it. As I got older we had our own Co-Ed softball team that we absolutely loved. It was our go to thing, the one thing we were always able to have fun with together. As the years went on my mother had some pretty huge obstacles to overcome, from breast cancer to a lung nodule and now severe rheumatoid arthritis. She overcame the worst of it but now is at a point where she doesn't feel like the same woman she once was. The fun, outgoing, athletic woman she loved to be. Due to the arthritis she now has a completely obliterated hip and is in desperate need of a total hip replacement. Unfortunately, her current job does not offer medical insurance and she was past the due date to sign up for the oh so amazing obamacare. Her employer is trying to find ways to help and her surgeon was able to drop the amount of the surgery but let's be real, without insurance it's practically going to cost her her other hip. As a daughter that was able to have her at her best, I ask for help so that all of her grandchildren will be able to have the woman I did when I was younger. They deserve it and so does she. I ask if anyone can find it in the kindness of their heart to help with her current situation and donate whatever you can, anything helps. Let's help her out of this darkness so she can walk strong again with her family. Thank you.
