Phil and I were suprised last week and sometimes "thank you" just doesn't seem enough. We received a lift chair as a gift from two special friends that have become closer than family. She has let me cry, let me vent, supported me, and been an all around sister at heart.
So when we got an annonymous gift from Florida, I immediately knew who it was. A lift chair was delivered, and I can honestly say it was the best gift of my life. It offers Phil comfort and eases the pain of getting up and down with his avascular necrosis (dead bone from steroid side-effect) on his hips, and shoulders.
She has listened to me tell our story of the financial, spirtual, emotional, and physical burden that Multiple Myeloma has caused our family. She is now trying to set up a non-profit fund to help family's that are dealing with this disease. Most organization's are for discovery of a cure, and new medications. Which are needed, but for familys dealing with Multiple Myeloma the financial stress is here and now. Please take the time to follow Mindy and vote for her to receive a grant. She is trying very hard to help families with the things that are not covered under insurance. For example, the lift chair for Phil that was so needed, but not covered and financially out of reach for us.
I know the financial burden of this disease first hand, and with the debt that we have acquired over the last six year, we acquired to fight the battle, and as we continue to fight the battle, we hope that you would please take the time to follow Mindy and vote when needed to help her organization receive the grant. Thank you.
