Debbie Hampton Bailey's Fight Against Breast Cancer
Donation protected



Help toward medical bills for Debbie Hampton Bailey. Any amount will help and be greatly appreciated!
Debbie is a close friend of mine as well as many others I wanted to come up with a way to help her pay her insurance. As many of you know Debbie has breast cancer as well as lost her job of 30 years.
Below is a summary of Debbie's Journey:
Debbie went in on October 6, 2024, for her yearly regular mammogram, where they found 2 tumors. She was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.
First surgery took place in November 2024 for her port cath. Later that month, Debbie underwent surgery for a lumpectomy and lymph node removal. After all this, the doctors didn't get clear margins, so she is currently receiving 12 rounds of chemo once a week and is on her 6th treatment.
After her chemo is completed, she will undergo surgery to have a double mastectomy with reconstruction sometime this Spring.
Debbie will still be in remission and probably not fully recovered until late Summer if everything goes as planned.
From receiving bad news in 2024 with the word no one wants to hear, "cancer," Debbie was looking forward to 2025 to get this all behind her, but then more bad news hit in January 2025.
Debbie lost her job she had been at for 30 years due to restructuring. Debbie carried all medical insurance for herself and her husband.
With this being said, Debbie now has to pay for COBRA medical insurance out of her pocket, and her husband has gotten his own policy.
COBRA alone is $680 a month, and just for January 2025, Debbie's medical bills were already at $28k!!
Debbie's husband Gary can provide for the household bills with his busy full-time job, but unfortunately, Debbie and her husband will need help with insurance, copays, deductibles, and future surgeries.
As you know, Debbie's always been a giver and one to help others. She's also a caregiver for her mother, who has COPD. She is always eager to volunteer to help people and animals in need.
Debbie is never one to ask for help, so I am hoping we can come together to help Debbie pay for her medical bills in this time of need. On top of cancer and what she is going through, let's help eliminate some of that worry. Anything you can provide or give; she will be grateful for.
All money goes directly to Debbie Bailey for her medical/insurance expenses.
