Annie Martin

After falling and severely breaking her ankle, Annie was no longer able to manage on her own. She had to move in with her son and depend on him for her care, while trying to keep her apartment until she could recover and return. The ankle break was so severe that Annie had a long recovery and mounting bills. “Thanks to the support of the CoxHealth Foundation, I was able to pay my medical expenses and keep my life intact. I was afraid I was going to lose my home until the Foundation stepped in with a grant for my medical needs. It was a blessing I will never forget,” says Annie. This brave and strong woman recovered and is now back at home and back to work and volunteering in the community.

 

Justin Herzog

The CoxHealth Foundation received this email from Justin’s wife following his grant from the CoxHealth Foundation.  “I am sending this on behalf of my husband, Justin Herzog. We were blessed by a generous donation from the CoxHealth Foundation. We just want to thank you so much for this huge blessing. Justin will be having surgery to have his tumor removed. We will then later find out whether the tumor is benign or malignant, which will determine the course of treatment. We are able to move forward with his care because of this wonderful gift.  Thank you so much for your kindness in supporting us through this difficult time. We are so incredibly thankful!”    The CoxHealth Foundation is grateful to every donor who helps patients like Justin receive the helping hand up that keeps patients on the road to recovery. Thank you!

Deb Sterling

Deb has fought many battles in the last couple years; divorce, caring for her mom and losing her job. The biggest battle she faced though was breast cancer. Thanks to you, Deb was able to get the treatment she needed and is now done with chemo! A return to good health has allowed her to return to work and to regain her life again. She sends this photo of her family with her heartfelt thanks to all donors to the Breast Care Fund at the CoxHealth Foundation.

Theresa Long

Theresa was scared when she began showing signs of colorectal problems again. Thinking that her colonoscopy would be covered by insurance, she went in for her screening and was then surprised when her insurance did not cover the test, leaving her with a large bill. Theresa was already facing many financial challenges and this unexpected bill would set her even further back. She applied for help through the Colorectal Cancer Prevention Fund and had her entire colonoscopy covered by donations. She can’t thank our donors enough for covering her screening and making it known that preventative testing is important! Colonoscopies find the pre-cancerous polyps that become cancer. By removing them, cancer is stopped before it starts. This is the impact our donors to this fund have every day.

Tracy Lane

Tracy was in a horrible vehicle accident that left her in the hospital, in need of ongoing therapy and equipment. Donors to the HUG Fund provided the medications and shower chair needed for her to comfortably return home. Tracy is slowly regaining her independence thanks to the financial support gifted to her during this traumatic time in her life. HUG Fund recipients are gifted things not covered by insurance or other programs. Tracy sends her thanks to all our donors for the hope she now has in her heart for a full recovery.
