I have fought hard to be optimistic and straighforward through this process of battling my cancer. I have been honest about the pain and about my feelings, but this is the hardest thing I have had to do so far. My friends and family, those of you who I know in “real life” and those of you who are my friends through the internet…I need your help.
I’ve racked my brain and tried hard to make it sound just right, or politically correct, or whatever. But there’s just no other way to say it, so I’m just going to say it. I’m desperate to stay alive and to beat this cancer.
In 8 days, AOL is closing its doors. We will have health insurance until February 29. Then the new job (he was hired today at Teleflora PRAISE GOD!) requires a 90-day waiting period before benefits begin. This will delay my treatment and reduce my chances of winning this battle. My next chemotherapy will be a little over $8000 and radiation will be $150,000 if we don’t have insurance coverage. A COBRA can be purchased through the insurance we have now for $700 a month, for two months. This will get me past chemo and safely onto the next insurance plan provided through Chris’ new job.
Some people have asked if we need money, it’s always so hard to know exactly what to say. So on the advice of people who we love and trust, we have set up a fund at the Bank of Oklahoma. If you want to help, go to any BOk and make a donation to the “Kari Moroz Cancer Fund.” You don’t even need an account number. If you don’t live in Oklahoma, you can call the bank toll free at 1(800) 234-6181 or you can send it to the Bank By Mail address: PO BOX 1300 Tulsa OK 74102 and just remember to write “Kari Moroz Cancer Fund” so that it goes to the right account! (In the case that we raise more than we need for the COBRA, donations will be used to pay the medical bills…which are coming in daily!) Also, I have a paypal account, just message me if you want to send something that way and I will get you the email address. Your donation could be $1 and it will be the most precious gift you could ever give me and my family.
And keep praying, I am believing God for this miracle of healing and for this insurance stuff to be worked out. Please believe Him with me. I know with God all things are possible.
Thank you!
Kari
**HUGE EXCITING EDIT** Wanna know how good God is? I’m laughing and crying and thanking God all at the same time! We already have a month of COBRA paid for…this message on my blog has been up for less than 24 hours! I know that He is doing great things. I believe in His miracles and He is going to get the glory for all this…with God all things are possible!
