October 2024 marked the ten-year anniversary of my accident. As I reflected on those years, I felt accomplished in what I have been able to achieve. But it also reminded me of my daily struggles to remain optimistic, healthy and hopeful, especially as I face continuous medical expenses and health battles. There is so much more to paralysis than the loss of your ability to walk and feel. And the medical challenges and expenses are ongoing.
Although I have health insurance through my employer, it fails to cover many of my necessary medical expenses. The health insurance industry does not provide coverage for the continuous health issues paraplegics face. Among the ongoing costs are my daily medications, some of which do not have generic alternatives resulting in excessive monthly co-pays. I was recently diagnosed with a serious autoimmune disease and the prescribed treatment is high-cost biologics. Even with insurance coverage, the co-pay for these medications is prohibitively expensive. Additionally, there is a significant gap between what’s covered for crucial medical equipment, such as urinary catheters, and what it actually costs, leaving me with extremely high out-of-pocket costs. These are just a few examples.
To help with the financial burden of all my medical expenses, a fundraising campaign in my honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Northeast Spinal Cord Injury Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for medical-related expenses only.
Please consider a tax deductible donation. For credit card contributions, please click on the Donate button.
Please help me. Any size donation will make a difference. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.

Lindsey, you've done such a fantastic job of taking care of yourself and becoming so independent. You are such an amazing person to have finished school, taken this very challenging job, all while living independently. Each one of these accomplishments, given all you have to deal with, would have been impossible without all your focus and determination.
I know you still have huge financial obligations that are due even with insurance. I hope this campaign helps take some of the financial stress off your shoulders.
Love, hugs and kisses,
Diane Ashworth
