USA - A mother's cry for help

A Bay City mom says she's desperate and now she's asking for help for her 3 yo. daughter. Medea Heilman says big businesses are getting billions, but she can't even get $300 to pay for her daughter's absessed tooth to be removed.
"The puss bag could pop and the poison could go into her blood stream and kill her while she is sleeping," Heilman says. "Or if the swelling is too much in her jaw, it could cut off her airways and stop her from breathing. So, I'm afraid if I sleep I won't know if she is going to be okay."
In the last two weeks, Medea has taken her little girl to dentist after dentist. She even drove to Ann Arbor to see a specialist.
"We sat there for five hours with her not eating or drinking and then at the last minute they tell me we need the money up front," Heilman said.
But 300 dollars to a single mom of three is hard to come by. Medea is told Rian needs to see an orthopedic surgeon, but says her insurance company is giving her the run around.
"Her insurance is supposed to cover anything health wise if they are five yo. and under," Heilman says. "And this is a health condition so why aren't they covering it?"Little Rian hasn't eaten solid foods in more than a week and her tooth is getting worse."I just need a dentist that will work with me even if it's not accepting her insurance, but atleast let me make payments so I can get her tooth out."
If you have any advice for Medea on how to help little Rian, you can contact her at 989-252-6076.
