Subject: BS: VirginiaTam's daughter - health prob
I know I haven't been around much. Been quite out of sorts.

Just found out today that my remaining daughter's (Hilary, age 25) autoimmune liver disease has flared big time. She has kidney stones and enlarged spleen as well.

She has just moved to northern Virginia, started new job this past summer. She is quite worried about keeping the job (wage and sales commission) with her current health issues as well as making medical co-payments and paying rent which is quite dear in Northern Va.

Does anyone know if there are charities or government benefits to help with this?

I am terrified beyond words after losing her older sister to another autoimmune related illness and it makes it worse being stuck in the UK.

Please add my Hilary to your good thoughts, prayer rounds.
