Help Elisabeth fund urgent medical costs
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm raising money to help our dear friend Elisabeth with ongoing healthcare maintenance and some immediate and urgent healthcare needs in light of financial hardship after being laid off.
Elisabeth was unfortunately laid off on October 3, 2022. Since that time she has been interviewing for new jobs and picking up as many consulting projects as she is able however, it has not been enough to make ends meet especially in light of her medical needs.
Elisabeth suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) which carries with it some significant side effects and comorbidities. Additionally, doctors have recently raised some concerns about additional possible diagnoses that require additional testing that is urgent, extensive, and expensive.
Elisabeth needs help with the costs of the following:
- Ongoing COBRA coverage
- Necessary iron infusions to manage low hemoglobin due to chronic iron deficiency anemia
- Endoscopy due to suspected recurrence of gastric ulcers
- Echocardiogram, scans (MRI, x-ray, and DEXA), and bloodwork URGENTLY recommended by her doctor to measure the progression of RA and rule out serious additional diagnoses
- (Possible) new biologic RA treatment
- Co-pays for office visits
- Psychiatric counseling
Also, due to her RA Elisabeth is unable to walk her dog Moses (pictured above) outdoors in winter due to a condition called Reynaud's. Funds raised will also go towards dog walking services for the remainder of the winter so Elisabeth can stay safe while caring for her beloved pet.
Elisabeth is and always has been one of the most generous people I have ever known. She is a loyal friend, a dedicated employee, and a kind soul all around. We all know that asking for help can be difficult, especially for someone like Elisabeth who has worked so hard and picked herself up time and time again. We have the opportunity to make that a little easier for her right now.
Thank you in advance for your support and generosity. Any amount will be appreciated and Elisabeth is so grateful for your help at this particularly challenging time. She plans to pay it forward as soon as she’s back on her feet!
Donors will receive continued updates on Elisabeth so you can see how your donations are being used, and stay up to speed on Elisabeth’s health and overall wellbeing.
