I know i don't come on here much and don't know what if anything you people can do. But please share this link with everyone you know. I really need the help right now. I need a surgery badly and I just don't know what else to do.

Hi, Holly. Ironic that I just saw this post, as Joe let me know about your situation just this evening. What I don't understand is, why won't insurance pay for the surgery? I'll try to think of fund-raising ideas for you, but I've never really been good at that kind of thing. Hang in there.

Hey Girl. Well, I have Medicaid. I only get SSI can't get SSDI so can't get medicare. If I could that would be the end to all my problems. But Medicaid is a state thing. In order for Arkansas medicaid to pay for something, it has to be an Arkansas provider. there are only 10 places in the U.s. that do these implants and that know my disease well. Every single oen of them is out of state. The closest to me is Nashville TN. The doctor was willing to help me and was a sweet guy. He told me he'd deal with the medicaid issue. Well he tried. But the hospital he works with won't let him take it. I called AR medicaid and they say that they will pay but only if Nashville becomes a provider and enrolls in the AR medicaid program. I told Nashville that and they said that is what they found out and they will not enroll so there for medicaid will not pay. Same thing with a place in L.A. The hospital out there will not enroll in AR medicaid so I can't go there either. The only way I'll be able to go anywhere since its out of state and they won't enroll then I have to go self pay. It's a messed up situation.

I couldn't edit the templet with live journal. I want to update people on my situation but i couldn't because whenever I would put a new post it would be at the top and the button would be pushed down. Also I set up a p.o. box because some people want to donate but don't have paypal. So i created a blogspot and got the paypal button and the po box info but can still update. think link for that is http://hollyshearing.blogspot.com/

Holly, I have forwarded on the link in an email. I hope that it helps. Aren't there any state funding bodies, not linked with the hospitals, that you could apply for?

I've been looking for that and so far everywhere I call says no. I called the Govanor's office beginning of the week, they called me back yesterday and right now doesn't look like anything can be done but they are checking on funding for me.

How much do you need exactly? There's bound to be someone who will donate. Can't you get on some local TV channels to state your case, both against the insurance, and for the donations you need?

If the people at my college will allow it, I'm going to print out copies of the info found when I went to the link in post one, coupled with the P. O. Box address you provided in a later post, put those up around the school, and see what happens then. Don't worry, I have not forgotten about you.

Ok. So this sucks. Everything about it sucks. I have been talking to all sorts of people again and it's kind of Medicaid's fault but mainly the hospitals fault. They have to accept Medicaid of Arkansas and they aren't willing to enroll. So I don't know. I've written the story to several newspapers now. Also the doctor is trying to pull every string he can. I need approx $60,000. So far I have raised about $1,500. Long way to go. I also found out that Arkansas Medicaid will pay for anything and everything until you turn 21. Then you can't hardly get anything unless you are dying. They won't cover physical theropy for my balance or for any reason because they only do pt until you turn 21. So I guess if someone falls and breaks their hip they are shit out of luck. God our government sucks.
Yes I don't care who you spread this word to. The farther the better.

So this is stupid but I thought I'd put it on here. This guy added me to messenger the other day and was talking. Then he said something and I asked if he had looked at my blog and he said yes and he doesn't give money to the internet. That made me ask why? Then he says something to the fact that he doesn't know me and stuff so I eventually got tired of talking to him and said that hoped he had a nice life and adios. Well then he said he'd kill hisself if I didn't talk to him. No he won't but anyway. Then tells me that he will report me to the zone. I was like what for? the zone doesnt' care if I talk to you? Then he tells me because I am asking for money on the zone. So if I were doing something wrong wouldn't the admins already be telling me this? And I am not asking for money here on the zone, I am directing you to my blog. And it's not like I want this money to party and stuff. I need this money in order to get surgery done and get this tumor out of my head. So I mean did I do something wrong by posting the link to my blog here on the zone?

No, I think you're fine. If I were in this situation, I would be asking for support, too. Not just monetary support, but emotional support too. I will be playing for you, and, I'll do my best to see what I can do to help. You are one incredible strong woman, Holly, and I'm glad to see that you've not given up on yourself, as well as your husband and child(ren). Keep your head up, and keep going. You have so much to live for.
