Erika Creech

In the last decade, Erika has had over 40 surgeries–14 in this last year alone. These life-saving surgeries have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and the medication destroyed her teeth. They were cracking and falling out of her mouth.

She needed extensive periodontal surgery to replace her broken teeth.

Thanks to your generosity, Erika is well on her way to getting new permanent teeth and a healthy mouth. The $43,000 process is nearing completion.

However, there’s still a $25,000 loan that needs to be paid off. And there are thousands of dollars in medical bills from her many surgeries.

In addition to her periodontal surgery, Erika lives with a left arm that doesn’t work due to failed shoulder surgery. She also has CIDP, an autoimmune disease that attacks the peripheral nervous system causing loss of feeling and strength in the arms and legs.

This past year she had a life-saving ileostomy when her digestive system failed. Every day, she bravely battles PTSD from too many surgeries and ICU stays.

To make matters worse, her husband of twenty years just walked out, leaving the family with no steady income.

That’s why Erika’s parents, Bob and Jayne Wassom, family and friends are raising money with the help of the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with Catastrophic Illness.

Erika has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.
