Gosh, sweetie, will your health insurance not cover that?

Don't have one.. don't have a job or my dad either.. so basically.. yeah.. Boo.

Without getting too personal, if you are without a job or insurance, wouldn't you qualify for medicaid? Or SSDI? Isn't there a county agency that could help you??

Consider starting a collection on www.fundable.com for a portion of the funds.

I'll take a look at your website in a little while. I just got home and I'm bushed. Keep the faythe.

Thanks everyone. We just can't afford anything right now, to be honest, so my last resort is to the fund raiser website & my website with my artwork/photography...

I think this is the kind of thing you could do community fundraising for - you know, get some friends together and hold a car wash, put up jars with a note and your smiling picture on it at local shops - "Keep Rachel hearing!" and folks would be happy to throw in some support in the form of dollars.

Also, you might see if you can do an "event" at which you could speak about the difference having the cochlear implant has made in your life and your education!

I think selling your creations is brilliant - it gets your stuff exposure and helps you pay your own way with this.

Again - local media - they LOVE human interest stories. Think about it. It would really drive traffic to that site.

I agree, you ought to look into that as well. Might get help faster.

I am tempted to get an Anna T-shirt but all I get is card, laminated and matted print...

Sorry guys.. I do not qualify.I just recently checked this out with my dad, and basically, it's a no-go. My mom is the one who is only working. However, if none of us in my family work, no house, no nothing, then I guess I qualify. So this is what I can do for now... to advertise my work and see how far I can go.

Which Anna picture are you referring to? I do have a tshirt I digitally drew of Anna a few years ago -



And worldwide shipping is available for all items - Prices in USD (change to AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP) - It's all at the bottom of my website - you basically go through step by step on ordering. Hope that helps!
