[Margo C.]

More important than flat profiles may be to help Libby's family with the enormous financial obligations. Please send whatever you can. Libby has given us all so much...we can do this for her.

Contributions - Angels Needed

Written 57 minutes ago by Cathy Arnold

As Libby's recovery plan is beginning to take shape, it has become clear that this will be a long and unpredictable process. Medicare will only pay for a portion of the cost of the rehab. She does not have an auxiliary policy. The burden of paying for the long term rehab and care will fall to Lester and the family.
Thank you to all who have donated to CaringBridge in tribute to Libby. Although those contributions do not go towards any medical expenses, they have helped to make possible this website communication.
If you would like to make a much needed contribution towards Libby's rehab and other extensive medical expenses, it would help ensure that Libby is provided with the best medical care possible.

A bank account has been set up at JPMorgan Chase Bank. The name of the account is the "Libby Lehman Medical Fund". Checks, Money Orders, or Cashier's Checks should be made out to "Libby Lehman Medical Fund" and mailed to her sister, Cathy Arnold at 2220 Stanmore, Houston, TX 77019. Please include your name and address if it is not on the check. If you wish to use an online secure transfer method from any bank called Chase Quick Pay, please email Cathy's husband, Bill Arnold at mailto:[email protected], and he will provide you with proper instructions.

Bill Arnold and Bill Askey, Libby's brother-in-laws, are the Trustees of the Fund and the only signors on the bank account. To the extent possible by the amount of funds in the account, they will be responsible for issuing checks to pay for any medical bills that are presented by Lester. The Family is very appreciative of all cards, letters, quilt pieces, and contributions received on behalf of our beloved Sister, Libby. She is a real treasure to all of us, and we all want her to be able to recover to the best of her abilities.

Thank you so much.

[Margo C.]

Thanks for the post.

I keep thinking that we TQS members should be able to do some kind of a fund raising
benefit for Libby, but I'm drawing a total blank as to what type of effort it should be. :?
Ideas anyone? :?:

Would it help to ask TQS staff for ideas, support, or suggestions?

How about 'Forgo a Fat Quarter' - next time you are shopping for fabric, instead of buying that fq that says 'buy me because I am beautiful, but you won't cut into me' put the money aside and send it in instead. I bet if everyone sent in the cost of a fq it would soon mount up to a heap of yardage - I mean money.

That sounds like a great idea Rosemary. There are so many members that even a little amount from many people will soon add up!

Rosemary, You are so creative. That would be so much fun. I wonder if we could get an article written and posted on the Daily Blog so that those members who do not frequent the Forum, like the Mug Ruggers and Lounge Lizards, would participate, as well.

GOOD NEWS TODAY!!

Written 31 minutes ago by Cathy Arnold

Oh Happy Day! Libby said a few words today, answering questions appropriately with, "yes, no, I am, I did", and question, "you did?" she said "Lester" and stuck out her tongue at him and puckered her lips for a kiss, with equal fervor. We are Thankful, thankful, thankful!
There is still a long, long road ahead, with more rehabilitation and additional surgery, but God is merciful and good.

She is scheduled to move by ambulance to the new skilled nursing center soon, so more later!
Sister Ellen, Lester, and Sister Cathy

Oh, happy day, indeed!!!

Libby and family are facing a long recovery and medical funds end soon. TQS is going to send an email soon with a easy way to help Libby and her family during this crisis. Thank you all for your care and support.

[Rita C.]

That would be so helpful John, thanks.
