Special Event for Ozark woman set for Nov. 3rd at Applebee's

Ozark, Al.
There will be a charity benefit for Raechel Buchanan at Applebee's on Hwy. 231 in Ozark,Al.(across from Walmart) on Thursday Nov. 3rd. The event will start at 6pm and end at 8pm.

Raechel has been diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease called Anti-phospholipid  Antibody Syndrome. This causes her blood to coagulate abnormally and produce uncontrollable blood clots that travel through her heart into her lungs, which cause pulmonary embolisms and infractions.

She has survived approximately 50 pulmonary embolisms of which any could be fatal, but also causes irreversible damage to her lung tissue. Since only 2-4%  of the population of the world have this condition, there is virtually no research being conducted on this condition.

Her body has rejected all other medications for blood clots that she has been prescribed. The one medication that her doctor has found that works and is required for her is only partially covered by insurance and is very expensive. Her out-of-pocket expense is over $3000.00 per month. Her life depends on getting this medication. In addition, there are travel expenses to Birmingham to see her Doctor that has to be covered.

Please come out to Applebee's, Nov. 3rd and meet Raechel and her Family. She will have custom-made name signs, earrings and hair-bows for sale and some finger foods will be available.

Raechel's Friends and Family are working on other events and Alabama State News will keep you informed on these events, however she needs Meds. now and the Raechel Buchanan Fund has been set up to accept donations. Any amount you can afford would be a blessing to her and her family and can be sent to:
