One of my fellow Etsy Sellers, who is also named Laura, is having a sale in her shop to help cover the cost of medical expenses for her daughter.
Her daughter is 21 months old and has been struggling with numerous medical problems since she was 9 weeks old. She was recently diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech which is a neuroprocessing disorder that will require years of therapy 2-3 times a week. Their insurance is denying additional occupational therapy as her "defect" is considered congenital and not due to illness, surgery or injury.
I work with children and families like this on a daily basis. While insurance often covers the "big" things, like surgeries, it's often the little things, like testing, and therapy that will drain a family mentally, emotionally, and financially. I have great respect for these families as they struggle to keep a "normal" life while juggling doctor appointments, evaluations, and treatments.
To help cover the costs that insurance doesn't she is having a sale in her shop. She makes beautiful glass art, and is having a sale on her pendants. Click on her banner below to link to her shop. You can also visit her blog
