Dec. 8th, 2004 10:40 amWhen I made my wishlist, I had asked "for anyone who can to take an angel from the angel tree or help a local family in need"...well, there's someone in the LJ community who could really use the assistance. Her LJ is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sapphireisle and, via a post made by kirsch, these are her words:
***
"I posted to my LJ about real emergencies like my Mum has a very rare cancer, her medical bills have bankrupted us and are still mounting (over $200,000) and to top it off my Dad may be out of work in a week or two due to outsourcing for the second time in four years. Then my Mum will have no insurance and no medical care to be sure she survives this cancer.
This is a legitimate cause and you can get proof on her fundraising site set up by friends who have checked out the validity of her needs.
She loves to write but is stranded in bed due to chronic pain. She wanted a laptop for Christmas last year, but because her medical care is so high, after 5 surgeries in one year (insurance premiums, co-pays, deductibles, things insurance doesn't cover like 8 trips to Mayo Clinic this past year, hotels, gas, etc) we can't afford one. Not this year either! [...] I'm happy that people are kind and caring enough to help others but what about people like my Mum?"
