Dear Friends, Family, Acquaintances, Associates, Theirs and the Blessed beyond,
This is a desperate plea for critical private charitable assistance. I have a dear friend Carole, who, to make a long story VERY short, is living the most purely tragic medical nightmare of which you may ever learn. 8 years ago she developed a severe brain tumor. At the time she was a highly successful, beautiful, photographer, and teacher. As if getting a brain tumor that went misdiagnosed for two years was not enough trauma, other subsequent medical errors have lead to her suffering from brittle bone syndrome, causing various broken limbs, two more bouts with other cancers, removal of her large intestine, and now confinement to an electric wheelchair along with the most excruciating debilitating pain one might imagine. She now requires more medications in a week than most people take their entire long lives. She is 49. The real problem today is that due to financial hardship and a few onerous bank charges for checking errors, her $1000 disability checks have been suspended due to the "good intentions" of a Social Security Administrator. Her February check will not be forthcoming and she has no idea how she will make her co-payments for vital pain medications, her coming February rent, and utility bills. To add insult to injury her car battery failed yesterday and she is already overdrawn at two banks from trying to keep up honestly with her bills If she does not get some needed funds she will be put out on the street by mid March and will lose all her worldly possessions as she has no other family support. This all could happen to you, me, or anyone you know, at any time, given some bad luck and the negligence of others. I have been able to help her with some money but I cannot do enough to solve her short term dilemma. She needs a car battery, money for critical medications, rent, and utilities until her disability checks are recovered and the other charges are cleared up. If you ever really wanted to help someone in the most dire of straights imaginable you can help her directly, from you to her without any government, charitable, or Aid Organization middlemen taking a big cut. There is no other way I can think of to help now. Imagine if it were you. ANYTHING WILL HELP! $2.00, $5.00, $10.00 or more..... If only 150 people send her $10.00 this will hopefully bridge the gap until her checks are reinstated in March. She needs $25 for pain meds Tuesday. She has many, many of these co-pays monthly. Please consider this a personal plea for someone who cannot even ask you for themselves, and has met with more unimaginable hardship due to the mistakes of others than anyone you or I will ever meet in ours' or our children's lives. She has no one. Please, please, please, please help with anything as soon as possible. You will never get a better chance to really feel you are helping someone innocent and truly in terrible need. For more information or to speak with me, Carole, or her Dr.s directly you can email me at jw54sb@yahoo.com and I/she will contact you. Please forward this letter and plea to any compassionate people you feel may help and to those who think they have a rough life. You can send stamps, cash, money orders, or checks to: Ms. Carole Lee
Thank You and God Bless Everyone and Theirs, James W
