Today I started reaching out concerning Belinda’s upcoming procedure in Washington. There’s no guarantee Humana Healthy Horizons will approve it, but I need to get my ducks in a row in case they do. So I contacted the National Organization of Rare Diseases, regarding Belinda’s Rare Pediatric GI Medical Assistance Program funding, requesting assistance with lodging and ground transportation while we are in Washington, and I contacted Mercy Medical Angels for assistance with the flights. I’m already tired of flying! Hard to believe since it took me so long to take that first flight but now I am super over it.

NORD funding is not guaranteed if they run out before the end of the year. I don’t know if there will be money there for her this time. And she will be 18 then, and I’m not sure how that will affect the pediatric part of the program, or the additional flight ticket for Mercy Medical Angels. But I know it will all work out.

I am so appreciative of organizations that help!
