Case #5: This case involves a one-year-old patient who has been hospitalized over the year (most of the patient’s life) and is awaiting a heart transplant. The patient’s mom works multiple jobs within the food/transportation industry, which requires mom to have a working vehicle. The car’s transmission recently failed, leaving Mom unable to work. Due to the longevity of this hospitalization and lack of a stable income, they cannot afford the repair quote. One of Mom’s jobs has offered to help pay 5 % of the repair costs. Additionally, this has limited the mom’s ability to travel to/from home to see her other children. If Mom’s company were to pay 5% ($355.95) of the total cost of repairs, the balance for this request would be $6,763.85.
Total ask: $6,763.85 APPROVED
