Help, Please!   

Posted by MsJudi - Mar 8, 2014 - 8:06am
I've never come here asking for financial help, but I'm about to. My beloved cousin, Ken (also the wizard who was our real estate agent and found us this house!) is in desperate need of a cancer treatment for throat cancer that his insurance company refuses to pay for. He needs 28K to get this treatment, which at this point is his only hope for survival. Ken is an awesome man, a man who has worked his ass off all this life to provide for his family. He and my cousin Mary have a new grandbaby and I want to help him to see her grow up.

Here is his GoFundMe page.  I'm hoping that the generosity of RPeeps can help he and Mary reach their goal.

I love you guys, and thanks in advance.

I wouldn't characterize this as a broken system. The treatment he needs is considered experimental, and therefor not yet covered by insurance. It's an extremely expensive treatment and he has already put the entirety of his savings account, 80K plus, into getting it but has come up 28K short of being able to afford it.

I am so sorry to read that Ken is forced to endure our broken health care system.  I faced a similar, though lesser challenge.  The hospital had a hardship program.  Perhaps smth similar can help Ken.  {#Pray}
