ONCE A MOM, ALWAYS A MOM

 
Despite being diagnosed with Lupus and MS in October 2017, my daughter Kira has struggled to maintain her employment and her role as a responsible single mother to her 10-year-old son, Bryant.  I am very proud of my daughter.  Kira has maintained her employment so that insurance can help pay for medical expenses as well as to provide for Bryant.  Last year alone, Kira’s medical expenses exceeded $80,000.  Thanks to her employer’s insurance, Kira was responsible for the $6,600.00 co-pay.  Currently, Kira is facing an immediate expense of $1,849.00 for one month’s worth of one (out of 5) medication that is needed for her injections this month. Unfortunately, Kira has maxed out her credit cards after paying for past co-pays.  As a mother, I am asking for the help that Kira will not ask for; Kira feels blessed to be able to go to work and to have insurance and feels others are in more need than she is currently.  But Kira is not able to start her new medication as she needs to pay the out of pocket $6,600 to go towards her 2019 co-pay.  Please consider donating for my daughter, Bryant’s mother, Kira.
