We’re also sharing a story, close to ours, that is in need of your support, engagement and a little service, too.

Service Beyond: Jewel Figueras
Our very own Jewel Figueras needs your help fighting her insurance company. Jewel took to social media to share that while she is losing her battle to cancer, she’s also struggling to have her expensive medical needs fully covered by her insurance provider. Instead of sitting idly by, Jewel is fighting to change how cancer patients are treated by their providers at large. What she needs is your signature on her Change petition, so that her provider can see how important it is for her (and others) to receive the medications they need at affordable rates.
Here are Jewel’s own words:
“I am literally in a fight for my life. And, I’m not alone in this. Many others in the battle against cancer have been refused medicine by their insurance company and have just given up. My social media streams are full of folks fighting for all kinds of things. I’m choosing to carry the flag for my fellow cancer patients, and those yet to be diagnosed.
This.has.to.change.
I’ve reached out to my Congresswoman, my Senators, my Governor, mmedia, etc. Now I’m reaching out to you.
Here’s how you can help:
- Sign my petition at Change.org. Push it out to your social media networks. Us the hashtag #JEWELvsAVMED. This will take less 30 seconds and a couple clicks.
- Participate in my Twitter Chat this Monday night, Dec 7th, at 9pm est. The hashtag is #JEWELvsAVMED. Invite your networks to participate, as well. This will take less than 1 hour. (If you need quick instruction on how do participate, let me know.)
- Share this post with others, using the hashtag #JEWELvsAVMED.
- Tell me about how cancer has affected your life. Include the hashtag and tag me your social media posts. I’d love to read your stories, as they give me strength and resolve.
- Talk about my situation on your social networks. Include the hashtag #JEWELvsAVMED. This lets me track the conversation.
- Keep me (and all cancer survivors) in your prayers.”
