Rapture needs your help!
Hey fighters and fans, one and all! The beautiful Rapture has problems with a type of respiratory infection which is very serious and maybe life threatening. Here is a link to her GoFundMe for the treatment she needs.
[Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] You'll see the names of several well known session fighters who have already contributed. I've been in touch with a couple of them and this situation is no joke. People, let's take care of our own! |

Re: Rapture needs your help!
I hope some of you guys are contributing to this. Rapture is one of our own. Most of you know who she is; a lot of you have perhaps purchased some of her videos. I heard from a reliable source that JT is going to contribute the funds from all ticket sales to her wrestling extravaganza to Rapture's GFM. This includes the Livestream, which is only $20. So if you can't go in person, buy the livestream. It's your chance to do a good deed and watch a good show at the same time.

Re: Rapture needs your help!
So unfortunate that Rapture does not reside in the UK where free superb treatment is available for most people and certainly all in the case of life threatening conditions. Her reported plight is just one reason that I am glad that I don't live in the USA where such treatments are only available to the rich. Hope she makes a recovery, by the way.

Re: Rapture needs your help!
My sentiments entirely, but I'm not sure we should be expressing them.
I know it's a just a comment on different health system funding arrangements - and I in particular (having several disabilities) am so grateful to have lived my life over here. But bringing this up is bordering on 'Politics'. I don't think we should risk antagonising our American friends - especially those who wish to support the lady - by blaming them (as a nation) for her predicament. |

Re: Rapture needs your help!
It's not politics. It is life. As we've seen before, Gofundme is basically the foundation of our healthcare system. The system doesn't work, but that's what making everything for profit gets you. Americans will either donate or not, they already know how the system works.
As a practical matter, if this is life or death, she might consider applying for a CareCredit card. Sure it's high interest, but it's zero interest if you're able to pay it off in a year or two years or something like that. |

Oh, and BTW my friend has had an issue with her right wrist for the past 2 1/2 months and will not be able to get into see her GP until at least the end of December. She just put in an application to change surgeries hoping to see someone sooner but so far no good. In the meantime that forearm and wrist are swollen and tender. |

Re: Rapture needs your help!
Even the countries with socialized healthcare still have problems. If you want comparisons, Americans regularly refuse to call an ambulance in life-or-death situations because they can't afford the $3k to get to the hospital, forget about the treatment costs. Someone in Atlanta recently spent 7 hours waiting in an ER, got zero attention or treatment and left, and still received a $700 bill.
I wouldn't be surprised if this $22k turns into a surprise I-don't-even-want-to-guess-how-much-higher. They can basically charge whatever they want and screw the average person over. |
