Amy Whitley was a nurse at Armour Road Urgent care for 3 years. She was not feeling well and went in to see the doctor there. He sent her immediately to the hospital to have surgery for a small bowel obstruction. They removed nearly all of her intestines leaving her disabled. She has a 5 year old daughter and insurance is denying her claim leaving her with huge doctor and hospital bills as well as a need for more surgery and she has no way to pay them or to support her daughter because trying to get disability is a nightmare.
Amy is only 30 years old. Her life expectancy is 5 years at this point (and that is optimistic).
The Foundation has buckets all over town as well as accounts with CB&T and Wachovia set up in her name.
