Below is a statement issued by Kym Young and family:
Some of you have been aware that my health is declining due to very
aggressive crohns. I’ve been battling with severe health issues related
to and directly affected by crohns, some of which have been extremely
life threatening. My family and I have been battling this disease for
12+ years now and many of my organs and outer body have been affected
from loss of some eyesight, hair loss and skin degradation to severe
surgical procedures.
At this time my teeth are beginning to crack and break off due to
Calvin’s vitamin D deficiency and that’s the read I’ve decided to seek
some financial help to cover some dental problems. One of my teeth broke
off today but a good majority of it remains in my gums. There are
jagged edges and part of those are it’s under my gums and could pose a
threat to me if it becomes infected or develops an abscess. Im currently
healing from an abdominal cavity abscess that ruptured a few weeks ago
and required some hospitalization and time in Solvay hospice house.
it’s extremely difficult to find a dentist much less an
orthodontist in our area that accepts Medicare or state funded insurance
although dental care is an overall part of body health and wellness.
must get this fixed as soon as possible because of the risks
involved to myself and the peace of mind of my family. Each day I awake
is a blessing from the Creator and I cherish all the moments I am gifted
at this time.
Health care costs are continually increasing and health care
options are not always available, affordable or accessible to many in
our communities nationwide. And it’s very hard to reach out and ask for
help in the best of times. When you are not able to meet those needs in
the worst of times it’s not just hard to ask, it becomes difficult and
near impossible to put yourself out there at such a vulnerable moment.
It’s difficult right now. But I am putting myself out there and
asking for help. My prognosis is terminal but my mindset is still on
fight to survive. Each moment of life is so much more important at a
time like this because we don’t want our loved ones to see us suffering
and in pain. I don’t want to be in pain but it’s worth it for each new
day that I get to say I love you to my family friends and my community.
So i am reaching out. I need help with dental care. I’m doing
everything humanly possible to be here and enjoy this life I am gifted. I
would very much appreciate it if you could share, donate even a word of
encouragement is good medicine.
Thank you.
