The Gist:
Because of an improperly healed fracture, Rachel Nabors is now looking at $15,000 – $20,000 worth of orthodontic surgery.  She is already experiencing bone thinning and, without surgery,  faces inevitable tooth loss.  Like many of us, she makes too much money for government assistance and not nearly enough to afford insurance.

What won’t help:
-Suggesting she get a loan.  Those of us over a certain age know just how difficult and treacherous that track can be. 

-The Hero Initiative won’t be of much use either.  Their MAX allotment is $1000 and it’s a gauntlet run to get approved.  Sure, some is better than none, but she’s not likely to qualify in the first place.

-”Jokes” about moving to another country to make use of their medical system.  If you can’t think of anything useful to contribute, keep your dumbassery to yourself.

What will help:
PASS IT ON!  The more people who know, the more who can help.  Seriously!  Many, many people giving a small amount will do wonders.
