Boosting the signal!!!

From FarmGirl, part of our ‘tribe’ up in SE Colorado.

The young ladies’ grandmother made this quilt for the raffle.

Maddyson Forgey is a young lady of my acquaintance who is having surgeries due to a cleft palate. She is scheduled for bone graft surgery on May 27th, which has been deemed cosmetic by the insurance company. We are raising funds to help her family with the expenses, and her grandmother has made a beautiful quilt to raffle, and the drawing is on June 11th. If you would like a chance to win the quilt, you can buy tickets via Venmo to eforgey2021 or send a card to:
Maddyson Forgey
PO Box 462
Walsh, CO 81090
If the quilt is won by a party outside of our local community, shipping costs will be covered so that the family gets all the donated money.
This pisses me off on SO many levels… Cleft palate surgery is NOT cosmetic, IMHO… Damned insurance companies to hell and gone for playing games with young people!

  1. Cleft lip, if that is all that is cleft, and it is mild, could be considered cosmetic. Maybe. If it is very mild. Cleft palate? No, that’s a serious medical condition that needs to be corrected, preferably as soon as is possible.

  2. It’s bone graft surgery. She had a preparatory surgery the beginning of this month, which went well. The bone graft for the hard palate is coming up.

    Maddy’s mom is one of the people I call when I’m really in a bind, so I’m helping every way I can. Nobody looks at my dead blog anymore though lol!
