1992

Born with a disease that destroyed her intestines, one-year-old Crystal needed a liver and intestine transplant in order to survive. But the operation would cost at least $500,000 and her insurance would not pay for it. As her mother, Bridgette, and doctors tried to find ways to pay for the operation, Crystal’s condition slowly worsened. “She’s a fighter. – Bridget said. – Naturally she’s my child.”

Bridgette Pinkett visits her daughter in the intensive care unit at Children’s National Medical Center, Washington, DC.

    Does your site have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.
