Jennifer sent a message to Edward W. Stack – Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dick’s Sporting Goods – Email Address that said:
I been discriminated against by Dick's Sporting Goods unbelievably so but what I have been through since, no human being deserves this. I have a very rare disease called CRPS. I fell off of 3 cement stairs at my former home and severely dislocated my ankle on April 23, 2011 and have been on disability since that date. I applied myself and received it, knowing my disease has the nickname of "The Disease From Hell." I was married to Gregory, a General Manager at Dick's Sporting Goods at the time for 16 years. We had Blue Cross/Blue Shield and the coverage was outstanding. I needed it because my disease has no cure, is a massive 47.5 on the Mc Gill Scale of Pain. I live in constant pain but it is so much worse now due to the horrid thing done to me by Dick's Sporting Good's Human Resources.
My ex husband, Gregory, began an affair with another General Manager at Dick's Sporting goods named Lisa Clark. At the time, Greg was the General Manager at the Dick's Sporting Goods in Smithfield. Lisa Clark was the General Manager at the Dick's Sporting Goods in North Attleboro, MA. They asked for divorces, and at the SAME TIME, they (Greg and Lisa) contacted Human Resources about keeping their soon to be ex-spouses on Dick's Health Insurance. Harold Clark, the now ex-husband of Lisa Clark , received an immediate answer of YES. He can remain on Dick's Sporting Goods Blue Cross as a dependent. He is STILL on it today. I however ,received a NO. It is in writing that HR send to Diane Pearson, that Dick's NEVER keeps on the spouses. I will have to get my own insurance. It's also written in my divorce (Gregory) that Dick's denied me while in Lisa's Clark's divorce, it is written that her ex will be carried by Dick's. They used the "Federal Law" and once again, only to ME. The difference between us? I am sick. I cost a lot. I take many prescriptions. I have had 2 rods put in my back. I have an incurable disease. Harold is healthy. They lied to me because I am disabled. YOUR COMPANY didn't pick up MY INSURANCE because I am disabled. I have been through HELL since then.
My disease is NOT well known at all. My favorite website just shut down. RSDHope. I want to become an advocate for this disease. I want to inform any media outlet to educate people about my disease. Imagine if I said that Dick's sporting Goods denied my insurance but approved Harold? This is discrimination in the purest form.
I am starting a FUND ME page to spread information to doctor's, nurses, and most Medical Schools.I will be going to MAJOR MEDIA MARKETS. I just wanted you to know how YOUR COMPANY treated me but I am sure you'll be hearing. I have both divorces (Mine and Harold's) and my states YOUR COMPANY refused my insurance and I needed to purchase it myself. Harold's states he is to be kept on as a dependant. He still is. NICE.
