I got sick at Christmas and went to Skyline hospital, where I found out diverticulitis had ruptured my colon. They did surgery to remove my colon, but unfortunately, the surgery was botched three times. After 33 days in the hospital, I was released and had to learn to walk again. The hospital told me my heart was very weak, and I kept getting sick after being released. Skyline had no answers for me, so I went to Vanderbilt. Now my health insurance has hit its maximum and cancelled my policy. Vanderbilt found I had C Diff, and tonight I learned I will need open heart surgery. I have no insurance.

The funds will go toward medical bills and medical items needed for an ostomy that can't be reversed. Folks, I'm not one to ask, but I have to this time. A year's salary put away has already disappeared. Anything you can give helps. I would personally like to thank you for all contributions.
