Texas man selling restaurant to save uninsured employee suffering from a brain tumor

[/font size = 5]


A Texas business owner has put his restaurant up for sale with the hopes of saving a young employee who has a brain tumor and no insurance.

***

“So, they wanted to keep me and do CAT scans and MRIs and the next day they came in and told me I had a tumor,” she recalled.


Brittany and her mother, Barbara, are both waitresses at Kaiserhof Restaurant in Montgomery. Neither of them have insurance, and the medical bills have been mounting over the past months.

So, restaurant owner Michael De Beyer is hoping that someone will buy his restaurant in time for him to help the 19-year-old girl.

“I just can’t be standing by and doing nothing,” De Beyer said. “I have to try something because it’s not right.”

5. if she's a waitress she probably would qualify for Medicaid

I made only 15K a few years ago when I was hospitalized and had all of it picked up by Medicaid or forgiven by the hospital as charity.

If you got nothin, they cant take anything else from you.
