Life Saving Medical Treatment
Donation protected
My name is Sherry along with my other sister Michelle and with the help of a friend, We started this Go Fund Me to help our Sister, Jill Pasqualone.
Jill lives in Smithtown with her husband Bobby, a retired police officer and her beloved daughters Kyra and Geri.
It was very challenging to convince Jill to allow us to reach out for help on her behalf. Jill is a woman of great pride and integrity, with a heart of pure gold.
Jill was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in 1999.
Crohn’s Disease is an inflammatory autoimmune Bowl disease that can cause abscesses that can affect any part of the Gastro –intestinal track from the mouth to Anus.
At the time of the diagnoses Jill’s affected area was in her Ilium, which is part of the small intestines that controls one’s ability to absorb all nutrients.
For many years Jill’s condition was under control with the help of high doses of steroids. In August of 2016, an abscess that developed in Jill's intestines burst. She was rushed to the hospital where an emergency operation was performed in an attempt to drain the abscess and stabilize her.
From that moment on, Jill and her family’s lives would be forever changed.
Over the past 2 years Jill has been in and out of Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan, fighting for her life. She's undergone countless medical procedures to battle the effects of malnutrition, dehydration and septicemia. She's survived 17 surgeries, including the removal of her Colon that left her with a permanent ostomy bag and only 5 feet of intestines.
Jill is currently on a Chemotherapy based medication treatment plan. This treatment is the only thing keeping her alive.
Without it, Jill will die.
In 2017, overwhelming medical bills totaling in the hundreds of thousands, Jill and Bobby were forced to file for bankruptcy.
And recently, Jill lost her home- the only home her daughters know due to foreclosure.
Just a month into Chemotherapy, Jill began receiving bills from her healthcare providers. That's when she learned that she hit her plan limits. Her insurance company will no longer pay for her Chemotherapy treatments. We immediately reached out to her team of doctors for other treatment options, but due to the nature of this disease, Jill's options are few and without insurance to help offset the cost, all will be financially unmanagable.
As of today, Jill and Bobby are responsible for the cost of all tangeble medical supplies and all of her treatment costs.
In total, Jill and her devoted husband Bobby have been desperately trying to pay over $2,000.00 each month for Jill to stay alive. They've exhausted all financial options- they have nothing left.
The situation is dire and we are desperate. Our family urgently needs financial help to offset the insurmountable costs that we need for our sister's survival.
Your support will immediately help Jill continue to undergo her Chemotherapy treatment and will help with the cost of her neccessary medial supplies she needs for her Crohn's disease symptoms.
Any amount will go a long way for Jill and her family.
Jill is to young to lose this battle and Kyra and Geri are to young to lose their Mommy.
On behalf of our entire Family and
with a humbling we Thank You in advance
