Our Friend Mary Harper Poe
Our friend Harper Poe has had a wild few years. Through it all, she's remained positive, loving, an incredible mom, and one of the strongest people any of us know. She rarely asks for help (and doesn't even want to ask for it now), but now is the time she needs her friends and family to help her most.
Recently, Harper found a lump in her breast. This resulted in a a bi-lateral lumpectomy surgery, and she was diagnosed with Stage 0 Breast Cancer. Her next course of action is 6 weeks of radiation. She's feeling very positive, but still has a long road ahead.
Unfortunately, most of the tests and labs were done before her new health insurance kicked in. Which has resulted in a pretty big hospital tab. Additionally, her new insurance does not cover her entire surgery/radiation and will need to pay a decent amount out of pocket. And she'll need to start making these payments soon.
Helping Harper will assist her in paying her hospital bills, but also child care. She's still new to Philly and doesn't have the same network she had in Charleston (yet), so she'll need childcare/extra helping hands while she's recovering and going through treatment.
I know most of us wish we could figure out a way to help her through this. Right now, this is one of the best ways to help her. It will truly help ease her stress about money, bills, childcare and get back to a sense of normalcy for her and Ever.
Update: It says this campaign benefits Mary Poe. Harper's first name is "Mary", just in case you didn't know aka it's going to the right person.
