To Save a Life

[Myst]

Attention Guild Members. I am coming to you to help save a life.

Please click this link

This is my friend. She is a wonderful person, a loving mother and a good friend. Her children NEED her in their lives. She is their only parent.
Please. Please help me save her life.

If you can't donate (I completely understand if you can't) I am asking, no, begging you to please share this link as much as you can. Facebook, Tumblr, Tweeting, YouTube, Anything. Spread the word about her.

She needs this operation to SAVE HER LIFE. If she doesn't get it, SHE WILL DIE.

Please, help me. If this community bands together to get the word out, I think we can do it. We can save her life and let three small children keep their mother.

Update:

We are up to $400 out of the $6000 that we need.
Thank you to any and all who are donating to sharing my friend's story. Please keep spreading the word.

We can save her yet!

Keeping this visible. Someone needs your help, Internet.

Okay, the Mayo Clinic (where my friend needs to go to have the operation that could save her life) has give us a deadline : Oct 20th.

We are at $425 of the $6000 we need.

Keep sharing and getting the word out! We can do this! We can save her!

[Myst]

I'm in an atheist group where stuff like this tends to gather support rather quickly, I'll be sure to share this with them.

[Myst]

Thank you Magic Magnum. I appreciate anything that can be done to share this with as many people as possible.

We are up to $480. Still working on fliers to pass around at my job. They will give a run down of some of her conditions and the link to the gofundme page along with the request that if you can't donate, share.

That is all I ask of each and every one of you who have taken the time to read this:

If you can't donate, share.

Sharing my friend's story with as many people as you can starts a chain reaction. More and more people learn about it and share with more people who either donate or share with more people who can donate. With each person you share this with, you are helping to save the life of a 25 year old single mother. You are helping three small children keep their mother, who is their only parent, in their lives. You are helping my friend live to see her children grow up.

You have become a part of her story now.
What part will you play?

[Myst]

Up to $490. Have a little under a month to get the rest of the money.
Not going to lie, not feeling very encouraged today. Every waking moment I am not at work or sleeping I am spending on trying to help me friend, but I feel like I am failing.

[Cyndyr]

Putting this into my signature and spreading it on my social media. Not sure how much I'll be able to help, but miracles sometimes happen. Best of luck to your friend and for what the future may bring them.

[Myst]

Thank you. You have no idea what it means to me that you have read and are sharing this.

[Myst]

Up to $500

up to $565
If we keep spreading this, we can save her.
Thank you to all who have shared or donated. Please keep sharing as much as you can.

[Myst]

Please, I am begging anyone who reads this:

share

we are running out of time and losing hope

[Myst]

So we reached $600

far from the $6000 we needed

so, in summary, I have failed. My friend Karina is going to die in a few short months.

Thank you to everyone who tried to help.

It's awful that the health system works like this. If only everyone in the entire country donated just a tiny bit, it'd pay for everyone's healthcare.

Health care is a luxury, not a right. Luxuries you pay for yourself.

Only in a perfect world. Losers abusing will drive costs up, turning a tiny bit into a little bit, eventually into a whole fucking lot.

Agreed, Canada already proves that.
Though admittedly we currently do need to open a few new hospitals, it get's crowded at times.

Revans Exile said Health care is a luxury, not a right.

Once a civilization reaches certain thresholds there are certain luxuries (food, water, shelter etc.) that become rights.
And a country simply going "Your health care is a luxury" when it's already been proven that government health care is more beneficial for everyone as a whole, including the nation are quite simply admitting to be not as advanced as their neighbours because they'd rather have a couple extra dollars in their pocket (which will go away anyways once their medical issues pop up).
