Good Morning,
As you know, since February when all of this began Liz has been in and out of
the hospital. Because of this, she and has not been able to work much. In fact, during the last 4 months she only has worked a total of 3 weeks, her last working day being April 22nd. During February when everything was still unknown she used up her sick and vacation time for those doctor's visits and hospital stays.
With everything being strange and scary, it was hard to know what to do next. Liz, being new to long
term illness, (or really any kind of illness) didn’t know when or how to
file for disability and couldn't seem to get the answers from her work. At the beginning of May she again inquired with the HR department about disability pay and they pointed her in the direction of the state
disability website. Together we sorted out the
website and filed the information requested. She has not yet received any response from her
submission.
These last 4 months Liz has essentially been living off of
savings and the money from the GoFundMe. She has been trying to get
permission to work remotely from home, but has not yet received an answer on
that either. In the meantime Medical bills are starting to come through, and
managing rent has taken up most of her funds. Her work hasn’t notified
her of any premiums due on her insurance, but those may also be in the
pipeline.
Please take a moment to donate if you can. If you’ve donated
before, your donation has gone to good use. You have helped sustain her through
these terrifying months, and I’m asking you to help again if you can.
Your support, your love and encouragement have been
overwhelming.
Thank you for everything!
