A MESSAGE FROM JOE ON HIS WIFE;
My wonderful wife Angela was in need of a kidney transplant when
she suffered not one but 2 strokes. We do have a donor lined up, Angie's is still making some good steady progress. Stroke 1 (March 13) she was recovering from and only in the hospital for 3 weeks. Angie was walking, talking and going about life pretty good. She was getting better at home. Stroke 2 (June 16) was much worse, this one happened in the brain stem area, plus reinjured the first stroke area in the front of her brain. She still has almost equal movement and range on both sides. She communicates by blinking and squeezing her hands. I have not heard her speak for 5 months, or seen her walk in 6 months. Angie has not been home since June 16th, she did visit for a few hours one day then returned to her care center. Yes I have insurance (Altius, Medicare) But they only cover so much for so long and by their standards. Angie also receives some money from Social Security because she is a dialysis patient. Medicaid just denied us. This fundraiser is to help out with Angies's medical bills.
FYI it's $150 per day for out of pocket payment to the care center. We have between 15-50 days left of coverage with Medicare/Altius. Altius could deny her 60 days of "skilled nursing" coverage. Most likely we will have to bring her to her mom's house when/if we lose coverage.
I will be adding more items and making changes to this post as this progress. I first want to thank those companies/individuals listed below that have donated items for this raffle. This raffle will run till March 3rd noon. On that day I will have the drawing at ROCKLOGIC for all to see. I will later post the time when it will happen.
RAFFLE DRAWING INFO: I am making "tickets" with the purchasers name/contact info on it. I am not mailing them out. All the tickets will be placed in a bucket, x amount of tickets for the amount that was bought. Tentativly on March 3rd in the evening, the drawing will be done at RockLogic. Winners need not to be present but there will be some door prizes for those that show up.
