I know that peeps have asked about contributing financially. Seriously, I can't fathom anyone wanting to do this, but it is with a hard heart that I even have to think about any of this. Especially working and being single for so long. So hard to even think about asking anyone for help when you are used to doing it yourself all the time.
Several years ago, I moved home with my parents. I receive Social Security disability, but recently have lost my Cobra insurance coverage. I am waiting on an appeal to Medicare, but in the meantime I am uninsured and on November 1st, I will have to pay $671 for my medical insurance. I am uninsurable through any major medical insurance company because I am not considered for coverage until I have been at least 10 years in remission.
Between my insurance payment and my medicine co-pays, it will be about 1200+ a month (that doesn't take any of my normal bills into account - rent, car, insurance, etc.).
So for anyone that wants to send a few bucks my way, the best way is to send a check payable to Sis #1
By check made out to: Stephanie Stradley, to place in my designated account.
Please send it to:
Stephanie Stradley
Deb Fund c/o
Stradley, Chernoff & Alford, L.L.P.
Republic Building
1018 Preston, 2nd Floor
Houston, Texas 77002
If you have any questions about the fund or would like to make a transfer directly into the account via online banking, please contact my sis at (713) 222-9141 or email debfund @ comcast.net (remove the spaces)
I do have a paypal acct, but for now, the best way is to send the money to the account. If you really really want to paypal, you can send to via bank transfer or credit card payment to debfund @ comcast.net via www.paypal.com. (remove the spaces from the email address)
Please note that Paypal takes out a surcharge of 30 cents plus 2.9% of the payment to use this service.
I would love it if you could spread the kind word.
If you have questions, just send me an email at debster @ earthlink dot net.
Love you all. So very very much!
Posted by debutaunt at November 9, 2005 04:52 PMI am working on a post about my cousin's daughter & her journey thru chemo. I will post about you and link you, unless you don't want me to. Just say the word. It'll be up sometime tomorrow.
Posted by: buffi at November 9, 2005 11:47 PMHurray! This morning we had our first person contact the debfund email address wanting to donate. Not spam. With all the crud that goes on throughout the world, it makes you smile to see random acts of cool.
Sorry about the hair thing, BTW, and that we dint get to talk much about that. Been thinking that maybe Demi Moore, (as in the GI Jane version not the hair extention boy toy one), needs to be helping Uma out some. They would make a pretty frightening kickass duo.
Just a thought. Some thoughts are weirder than others. There is power in weird.
Posted by: Sis#1 at November 10, 2005 12:05 PMi think deb's going to look as beautiful as that indian actress that had a bald part in star trek all those years ago...
and i know it's going to be devastatingly pretty hair when it grows back *VBS*
how's zoe holding up?
Posted by: Fiona at November 10, 2005 08:36 PMHey Deb-I'm a friend of Sis#1-one of her wack cohorts from other, strange websites (you know who you are.) Sending prayers and vibes and all that to you and I'll get a check to Sis#1 (assuming I can find the checkbook)soon. Keep writing and laughing. Having gone thru breast cancer I know I felt years better when I could belly laugh. Easier said than done, though, when I'm not the one being poked and prodded and infused and all medical experimentized, eh?God bless you and Zoe.
