This is not going to be a long diary. It's also not particularly substantive. It's just a look into the life of another uninsured American. I am asking you to visit and read an open letter to the world from my friend Elizabeth(Lilly). I have permission to repost this letter, but thought it better to let Lilly speak for herself.
Admittedly I have never met Lilly in real life. I met her in 2004 when I became a member of an anime fan community. As many of you know well, the bonds people can develop via message board, IM clients, and LiveJournal can be deeper and last longer than relationships developed in the "real world".
Elizabeth is my friend. And my friend needs help. On March 7, Elizabeth was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She has no health insurance.
Please take a short trip over to LiveJournal and hear Lilly's story. Elizabeth's (Lilly's) LiveJournal
Thank you.
