Jessica's Monarch Therapy Vest
Donation protected
Jessica Hughes has Cystic fibrosis. A genetic lung disease that affects other organs. Cystic fibrosis a genetic defect ,which causes sticky mucus throughout the lungs and other organs. This mucus must be removed by using a therapy vest that shakes it loose to be coughed up. The mucus that stays in the lungs causes very bad bacteria that causes deadly lung infections. Lots of IV medication is given to help reduce that bacteria, but cannot be removed completely so this must be worn serveral times a day. This monarch therapy vest changes the way CF people live their lives. Imagine being chronically ill for your entire life and still trying to live a life working and making an income like a normal person. Jessica's insurance has denied her this Monarch vest and says it is not a necessity. Many signatures and other doctors notes were sent to Blue Cross Blue Shield, but we're still denied. This revolutionary Monarch vest that changes everything about Cystic Fibrosis is $12,000. We need your help us raise this money for Jessica's vest. I know she needs it, because I also have CF and I have a monarch vest that Cigna approved for me and it is a game changer for our illness! Every bit can help even just $5. If we all come together we can make it happen! Help Jessica breathe easier and help in the fight to this horrible disease.
