    How to Find Financial Assistance for Chronic Illness Expenses

    Did you know that patients with chronic illness can apply for grants to help with medical expenses? Me neither! I’m going to share about several organizations that provide medical grants and financial assistance.

    I can’t believe I’ve been seriously ill for over six years and am just now hearing something like this exists! I thought medical grants were something only doctors or researchers could apply for.

    These programs may be able to help with costs like copays, insurance premiums, prescription costs, and more.

  • Q&A with Katerina of Beauty in the Pain “Even if you feel alone, God will always be by your side.” Interview on chronic illness, life with CMT (neuromuscular disease), the gift of compassion, and seeing God’s faithfulness. (Invisible Illness Visible Worth Interview Project) | cassiecreley.com
    Invisible Illness / Visible Worth Interviews

    Q&A with Katerina: “Even if you feel alone, God will always be by your side.”

    Today I get to introduce you to Katerina, who is a dancer and teacher, as well as a college student working towards a bachelors degree in psychology.

    Last year she started a blog called Beauty in the Pain to share her journey with the neuromuscular disease CMT and encourage those who struggle with chronic pain.

    I’m so glad she reached out for an interview because I’ve been so blessed to read how she is adapting her passion for dance and seeing God’s faithfulness in the midst of chronic illness.

    I hope you’re encouraged by this conversation with Katerina on chronic illness, faith, and perseverance.

    How to Make a Detective Themed Display Board

    I have a friend who loves mysteries, especially Nancy Drew, and I wanted to make her a detective themed display board for her collection of pins and buttons.

    Today’s project is a variation on a ribbon board or memo board—you’ve probably seen pictures of them with the ribbons neatly crisscrossed. I have one above my desk and use it to display cards, photos, and other ephemera. This is a great way to upcycle an unused frame or plain bulletin board.
