Martha's medical bills and supplies
Donation protected
I am seeking funding to meet my rising medical expenses. I have exhausted my general savings and my retirement savings in an effort to pay off my medical bills. I'm going on a year and eight months with a stage 4 wound that has not healed completely. This lengthy amount of time has continued to compound my medical expenses/debt with daily home health nurse care, dressing supplies, visits to 3 MD specialists/week, weekly wound care clinic and very expensive medications.
My wound care specialist has now recommended I have surgery to close the wound which is another large expense I am facing.
I am a 53-year-old woman who has suffered from early onset osteoporosis, scoliosis and kyphosis since I was a teenager. I also have rhuematoid arthritis, myopathy, and fibromyalgia. The degenerative bone and joint diseases have resulted in several diffferent back and cervical surgeries. My condition remains treatable with advanced medical care. My goal is increased mobility and stamina so that I can become an active volunteer in my community.
I am a retired Dietitian. While my extensive education and experience has helped me personally with the special diet I am on for wound healing, I would like to share my experience volunteering in community nutrition when I am well.
I sincerely appreciate all of the generous donations I received a year ago. I had no idea I would still be here a year later struggling to heal, as my medical bills continue to rise. I appreciate any help you may give, and I sincerely appreciate the help I've received so far.
