Fundraiser set for local woman

People will have the chance Thursday to help out a Havre woman who has faced a series of medical difficulties, by ordering food from Pizza Hut.

Anyone making a purchase at Pizza Hut Thursday can tell cashiers they want to donate to Ingrid "Debbie" Bauer's medical account at Bear Paw Credit Union.

Nashae Bauer of Havre said Bauer, her aunt, needs help paying medical expenses.

In January, Bauer was taken to the hospital after feeling sick and was diagnosed with sepsis, a blood infection, as well as infections of both the kidney and liver.

She was then hospitalized for a month, during which time her right kidney was removed and all 10 of her toes were amputated, Nashae Bauer said.

She added that Ingrid Bauer has to learn how to walk again, is on dialysis and is not able to work her job at the Eagle's Manor.

Her medical and household bills are piling up.

"And she didn't have insurance, so we are trying to help her out," Bauer said.

People can also contribute to Ingrid Bauer's account directly at Bear Paw Credit Union.
