Melissa has incurred an amazing amount of medical bills over the past few years. She may have medicaid now, but the first couple of years she did not. They could not figure out a diagnosis until recently (scleroderma), and during this time she has suffered two heart attacks.. She had no insurance and she was unable to work because of her physical problems. Unfortunately, now her kidneys are failing and she is on the transplant list.
Normally the Blue Tip Big Band does not charge for their concerts, but the venue has agreed to let all the proceeds go towards Melissa’s medical bills. Not only can you buy the tickets on-line but they will also be selling tickets at the door. They also will be raffling off baskets.
I can’t think of a better way to express the spirit of Christmas than to give to someone who truly deserves help. If you can’t go, maybe buy a couple tickets anyway.
