Hello everyone. This message is from my friends the Detwilers who have a special needs son named David who has defied the odds since before he was born. They’ve never asked for help before, but now they need prayers and assistance. Please read:

1/ As most of you know, Brad and I rarely share a lot about the behind the scenes financial and insurance battles we have with all of David’s day to day needs. It’s our battle-and it is a battle constantly and we need help!! NOT FINANCIALLY, but we are grasping at straws trying to find SOMEONE to help us!! We have been battling with David’s insurance for over a year now and we don’t know what else to do but post about it and pray and hope that there is someone out there that sees this and can help us.

2/This nightmare began when David got his transplant back in 2020. Most people don’t know this- and we didn’t either- but were informed at that time that when you get a transplant, you have to go onto Medicare for 36 months post transplant. David’s private insurance (that has been wonderful) Aultcare, by law had to drop him because he was covered by Medicare. This is standard procedure and we understood that after the 36 month period, he would be able to be put back on our plan after the 36 months of a Medicare coverage was up.

@andrewcuomo

On March 25th, 2020, @andrewcuomo and @HealthNYGov issued a statewide advisory barring nursing homes from denying admission to patients solely on the basis of a suspected or confirmed Covid-19 diagnosis. Nursing homes were not given an
advance notice of this order:

@HealthNYGov

This mandate was in place for 46 days and brought in over 9,000 infected patients without families being notified. The order was scrubbed from the @HealthNYGov website. It was revealed in an investigation that @andrewcuomo covered up the death toll by at least 50%.

AMDA (Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine) expressed deep concern stating: “We find the New York State Advisory to be over-reaching, not consistent with science, unenforceable, and beyond all, not in the least consistent with patient safety principles.”

My friend @rontkim’s response to @GovKathyHochul’s announcement of an after action review of the pandemic response including nursing home deaths: “After months of asking for an independent investigation into the State's handling of the nursing home crisis,

I'm encouraged to see the Governor taking the first step towards getting closer
to the truth for our grieving families. I believe there are three open questions that must be addressed:

1) What was the impact of the
deadly March 25th order that sent 9,000 COVID-positive patients into unprepared nursing home facilities?

2) What was the purpose of the broad corporate legal immunity that stripped away patients rights on
the homes' ability to deliver proper care?

@shelleyzross

Everyone need to listen the interview with @shelleyzross with @megynkelly about the behavior and character of @ChrisCuomo and @andrewcuomo on @MegynKellyShow. It’s a very revealing look at these brothers and why both of them have gotten away with this behavior for far too long.

“It’s a con game to them. They enable each other.”

@shelleyzross

“He’s a good liar. He’s a convincing liar.” @shelleyzross on @ChrisCuomo about wanting accountability for his behavior.

Tomorrow on the 20th anniversary of September 11th our family will be visiting my husband’s firehouse where they lost all the men on duty that day.

Here are the faces of Engine 40 Ladder 35 who ran bravely towards the danger, into the burning towers to try and save others.

@andrewcuomo

I’ve met a lot of good friends here since May of 2020 when I decided to speak out against @andrewcuomo. I just want to thank all of you for your love, support, encouragement and prayers because they helped.

2) I’m not sure what happens now, but tonight I feel some justice that a leader who abused his power for so long will be without something that made him feel like he could take advantage of others without repercussions. And tomorrow will be a new day filled with a bit of hope.

3) To those who made fun of me or my profession or where I work, or who cruelly lashed out at my family, my sister in law, or my husband, you may have thought you were crushing my spirit. But you only made me want to fight harder, speaker louder and keep going.
