Our newest face of the foundation is Kaycee.  Kaycee is a thirteen year old girl diagnosed with seizures, Bi-Polar Disorder, Panic Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder.  She requires intense therapy and numerous doctor visits monthly.  Kaycee is required to take medication to prevent seizures as well as anti-psychotic medications and mood stabilizers. Her medical treatment is long term and very expensive.  Kaycee is covered by insurance but has exhausted some of her lifetime benefits and has been denied SSI and Medicaid.  Kaycee’s family turned to The Seth Foundation for assistance with numerous medical costs not covered by their insurance provider.  The Seth Foundation negotiated with the service providers in order to reduce the amounts and has funded treatments for Kaycee not covered by her insurance.

Sarah was a 3 year old girl diagnosed with Leukemia.  The Seth Foundation funded a life flight for  emergency treatment, insurance deductibles and medical supplies.

Tasha was a 12 year old girl with a severe jaw disorder causing her difficulties to breathe and swallow. The Seth Foundation funded initial oral surgery and follow-up treatments.

Ashley was a 15 year old girl diagnosed with a severe sinus disorder. The Seth Foundation funded the surgery which was necessary for removing growths that were dangerously close to her brain and eyes.

John was an eight year old boy with a terminal brain tumor.  Medical expenses cost the family their home and quality of life.  With 5 other children, this family still counted their blessings in preparation for the upcoming holiday season.  The Seth Foundation provided groceries for a Family feast, enabling the family to share in a special holiday season that otherwise would not have been likely to occur.

Zachary was a three day old boy born at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital.  He was transferred to the Women's & Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Lafayette, Louisiana  following delivery because of a blockage in his small intestine.  The Seth Foundation provided lodging for Zachary's parents (a military family) so that they would be able to stay in Lafayette while Zachary recovered from surgery.

 Luiz, a nine month old boy needed nebulizer treatments daily in order to be released from the hospital.  The cost of the equipment was not covered by the families insurance and the family could not afford to purchase the equipment. The Seth Foundation provided Luiz with the necessary equipment for his condition. 

 Harley was born less than two years ago with her liver outside her body, without a left arm, with an extra disc in her back and with two ribs conjoined.  The family was living in a FEMA trailer when they contacted The Seth Foundation.  The mother was not employed and the father was working full-time at a $7.00 per hour job.  The family was facing a homeless situation when their FEMA trailer lease was set to expire early this year.  The Seth Foundation immediately traveled to meet the family and provided provisions for the family including formula, diapers, toys, clothes, baby food and medicines. 

Hunter is nine months old and has survived two major heart surgeries.  Hunter has been covered by insurance since birth.  In fact, insurance has covered the majority of the expenses thus far.  However, after two surgeries and nine months of doctor visits, Hunter has almost met his lifetime insurance limit of one million dollars.  Hunter will need yet another open heart surgery and currently does not qualify for Social Security benefits, Medicaid, or any other government assistance programs.  The Seth Foundation has funded some insurance deductibles and is currently working to raise funds to help Hunter and his family with the expenses that they will have to endure to ensure the health of their baby boy.
