Life can be incredibly unpredictable, and for Cassandra, it feels like the world has shifted beneath her feet. Diagnosed with Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency Pi-zz, alongside a host of other conditions including lung disease, osteoarthritis, chronic migraines, lupus, and megaloblastic anemia, every day is a battle. Despite never having smoked, the complexity of her health challenges requires her to drive long distances to Mayo Clinic and Shands for essential medical visits. To manage her condition, Cassandra must receive a life-saving infusion of Alpha-1 protein once a week, a staggering cost of $20,000 a month. While the manufacturer generously assists, Cassandra is left with an overwhelming copay of $1,200 monthly. Coupled with the diminished capacity to work due to her health, the financial burden is drowning her. Your support could be a lifeline. Every donation, whether large or small, directly contributes to covering these copays, enabling Cassandra to focus on her health rather than the relentless stress of mounting expenses. It's a helping hand that will ease her journey and remind her that she is not alone. We urge you to extend your generosity and compassion today. With your assistance, Cassandra can navigate these turbulent times with a little less worry and a lot more hope. Thank you from the bottom of her heart.
