Recipient story
Our client is 68 years old. A blood clot has been discovered in her leg, but she is behind in health plan payments.
GIVIT
Our client is 68 years old, the kind of woman who has spent her life caring for everyone around her—her children, her neighbors, even the stray cats in her apartment courtyard. She’s never had much, but she has always stretched what she had to support the people she loves.
Over the last few months, though, life has been harder than usual. Prices for groceries went up. A repair bill for her old car arrived the same week as her utility statement. She made the kind of choice thousands of seniors quietly face every day: pay the urgent bills now, and catch up on the health plan next month. It was only $250 behind—she told herself she would figure it out soon.
Then the pain started.
What she thought was just stiffness or a muscle cramp slowly grew sharper, deeper. It became difficult for her to stand for long. When the doctor examined her, the news came quickly and heavily: a blood clot in her leg. Immediately serious. Immediately dangerous. And immediately requiring treatment.
