This just came over my Live Journal account- This is from Cleothyla.
Lady Lynn of Ravenhill and Robert son has passed.
Lady Lynn is active as clothing merchant and in the local Ren Fair.
"A very dear friend of mine's son passed away unexpectedly yesterday. It was probably due to under treatment of diabetes because he had no healthcare insurance. I am boosting the signal to my friends on my friend's list to see if we can at least get the funeral paid for. Another friend of mine, the son's Godmother, sent me the following info...
"He lost his health insurance when the company he was working for cut his hours. Then they laid him off. I think he was on Unemployment ( no Health care coverage at all). I know, for a while he has been unable to take all the medication he needs. Tim's room mates say he was not feeling well and had symptoms like he had a cold or flu. He went to lay down. They found him yesterday Morning on his floor. The autopsy is being performed today. My best guess, is he died from complications due to under treated diabetes. But will know more for sure soon. This is devastating blow to them emotionally. They are financially just hanging on by a thread."
This is also a plea for better healthcare reform.
To help this family, either boost the signal or send a donation to this email address: [email protected]
Even a small donation will help.My friend was also a fan of S.J. Tucker and Tricky Pixie so if I can post this to either of their blogs, maybe it will help.
