So by now, you’ve met my dear sweet Lucy.
We were counting on a combination of CareCredit and family support to get Ms. Lucy’s treatment (I.e., the amputation) paid for. We discovered today that we were denied the CareCredit funds, and the family support we were anticipating is not sufficient to cover her operation.
In short, we have no way to pay for her treatment.
I find myself in the place beyond sadness, because although I was stressed and concerned for her welfare yesterday, today I feel at an utter, abjectly powerfully loss of ability to fix any of this. We intend to explore as many financial avenues as possible at this time.
I refuse to believe in a world where my baby, who has done nothing wrong, is forced to die due to a non-connected issue regarding her parents past credit issues. I am torn to bits at this real possibility. Lucy is only 6, and as the young pup she is, deserves to live out her life. I rue my inhibitions in the past 24 hours- a limb lost is huge. A life lost is horrific beyond comparison.
I apologize for delving into this. This is about Lucy’s journey, not her father’s and mine. I just felt the need to be honest with anyone who see’s this, that if there are no more posts, this is why. I will try and continue to document Lucy’s story, because she sure as all hell deserves it. My baby girl is a phenomenal fighter, and if we can’t beat cancer, we will sure give it a run for our money, with love, support for her, and the grace with which she conducts herself. Always grateful, never demanding, my Lucy puts her future in our hands. And if an option exists, we intend to see that future promised.
A deep thank you goes out to anyone who has read and/or commented on her story so far. Lucy is amazing and I’m so glad so many others, near or far, have gotten to see that.
Oh gosh, hang on okay?
I was just coming back to catch up on Miss Luctpy’s blogs and read this one first.
And btw, after seeine this oicture Im in love!!
Just some quick suggestions and I’ll come back later, okay,?
Talk to someone in charge. Ask about monthly paymenid.
Ask around about places that do discounts. Here in Va there is a place called Helping Hands that’s far cheaper than regular surgeons. Where do yoy live? Anywhere close to Va?
Do you have a teaching hospital near you?
Will be back later, but just wanted to get yoy back on the oath of solutions.
Lots and lots of hugs
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Thank you so much for those ideas. We are in TN, and have a lead or two here for similar things, hopefully one if them will work for her. Thank you for checking in on her and best to you and yours!
