Maggie’s Cancer Is Back - Please Help!
If you can, help before January 2019!!
Our dear Maggie (Mona) Hall has been dealing with colon cancer for over 3 years now. It has not been easy by any means, but she has kept working, her personal strength is stunning. The day after Thanksgiving she found out the cancer had become Chemo resistant, and the tumor has grown back to the size it was at diagnosis. She is now on leave from work and she & Nick will be moving into an apartment in our (her parents’) building ASAP. That unit becomes vacant Dec 26th. The timing is horrible I know.
Here is why we are asking for your help:
1) Movers run about $2000 - Maggie & Nick’s current apartment is on the third floor with no elevator, there is no way to do it without professionals given the volume of stuff they have. We need to be out of that apartment by Jan 1st. Packing help is wanted too!
2) Budgeting $1000 for a second opinion consult with Dr. Lentz at USC, one of the leading doctors in the world for colorectal cancer, plus any tests he needs to run. Because Maggie has Kaiser insurance and Dr. Lentz is non-Kaiser, it needs to be paid out of pocket. We are hoping future treatment there will be covered by Kaiser but that's iffy.
3) Rental on a storage unit for 6 months, $1000. Since they will be downsizing from a 2-bedroom to a one-bedroom, they’ll need to store their extra stuff; this will be about $160 per month for at least 6 months while we find new homes for some very cool stuff.
and
4) Other annoying expenses like health insurance (HAH!) may be asked for in the future as a tier 2 request, but right now we need $4000 minimum to get things started.
So, anyway the main thing is: Maggie needs more support than we can swing right now. If you have the ability to help out either with physical labor packing things up or with donations to help make this move & immediate medical care affordable, we would all be so appreciative. Maggie is our treasure & she probably is special to you as well.
We hate asking for help like this, but time is short & this is vital stuff. Please help if you can.
