My name is Michael Pathmann. This fundraiser is for my wife, Jennifer Pathmann, who needs urgent medical treatment. She is severely anemic. Her body is not retaining iron no matter how many iron rich foods she eats or how much iron pills she takes. Her hematologist is wanting her to get iron infusion treatments. Last month, I paid over $1,000 for Jennifer to receive two weeks of iron infusion treatments. The blood work shows that the treatment is helping, but she needs more. I don't have the funds to pay for more, but she needs to start another iron infusion treatment as soon as possible. Each treatment is about $200 for each day. The treatment plan is for 5 days spanning over two weeks. The total amount needed for each treatment plan is $1,000. The hematologist is also saying that Jennifer needs more infusion treatments in the future. We have health insurance, but they are not covering any of the cost until we reach the high deductible for our plan. We need to reach the deductible before the insurance pays for anything. I'm trying to raise at least $5,000 total so she can not only get her iron infusion treatments but also for all the doctor visits with the primary care physician, the hematologist, and all the necessary blood work needed for her healing process.

Currently Jennifer is very weak, dizzy, has swollen legs, and is a fall risk. We are living paycheck to paycheck and are praying for all the financial help we can get. We greatly appreciate any amount you can give. Thank you and God bless.
