It all started over 2 1/2-3 years ago when my wife (April) was diagnosed with the onset of stage 3 liver failure. It came as a pretty big blow since she had already been diagnosed with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and now this. At first it wasn’t a daily critical challenge. Then as time went on it got increasingly worse. Her gastroenterologist seemed very reluctant to treat like a patient and more like cattle running through the counter to just get the appointments over with. His lack of focus and inability to seemingly care was apparent. In March of 2022 her declining health hit a tipping point. With her strength weakening, she laid down beside me and said she was gonna take a nap. Little did either of us know, that day would forever change how we approached her failing liver. She was laying by me on the couch and sleeping.  At least I thought she was. She actually slipped into a coma. I heard weird sounds and looked over and she was an asphyxiating by her vomit while she was laying on her back. I was blessed to be right there to sit her up and clear her airway. Our 7 year old was freaking out and I redirected her focus to help and it helped.
We called for an ambulance and we followed. It was at that moment I made a decision to switch her doctors and it saved her life. Hemphatic encephalopathy. Her new doctors went above and beyond. She was unfortunately in a coma for 5 days and after she was stabilized, it was hard enough on her body that she had to relearn how to walk, talk, and do everyday tasks. She had 12 weeks of therapy to get her functions as close to normal as they could. This was the beginning of a very hard physical road for us.
Some of the unfortunate effects of a liver problems come and go and one is more permanent. She now will have Kidney damage. One side effect from this swelling and retaining lots of water. High fluctuations in her ammonia levels (which damages her brain every time they get too high and causes loss of mobility, speech, and motor skills), potassium, magnesium, iron fluctuations along with dehydration. Her doctors do what they can to get her back to functioning as normal as possible. Lately we ran into a problem at the end of October 2023 where the insurance dropped her and continued to cover myself and out 7 year old. Since then she has been in the hospital more than at home. Somewhere along the lines of 85/15 with 85 percent being how often she’s been in the hospital to the (roughly) 15 percent being home. We have been working with the liver specialist team getting her ready for the transplant testing to begin. We have 4 kids total, 3 are grown and our 7 year old. The 3 grown kids are ready to test and donate their Kidney for their mom. We have worked really hard to get to this point, and then the insurance happened. She was in the hospital for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas and the doctors want her to go back to a nursing home after she gets released. Here’s where the financial craziness comes in. Her medicine per month averages 4200.00 to keep her alive. The outstanding bill for the hospital is over 125,000.00. The cost for her needing to go to the hospital is about 6000.00, and very well could go up depending on the care she has to receive. (More attention since she can’t walk, therapy, special dietary needs).
There is at least a somewhat silver lining that the insurance might reinstate by the end of January 2024. But until then, I’ve sold everything that I could including selling my 2020 Ford Ranger to help with the bills. But they continue to pile up and increase. So the request for a miracle would be help with the $$145,000.00 that this has crippled us financially. She is only 54 and deserves a long life and the help to get there. I’m with her 24/7 for her every needs and being able to make up the difference isn’t possible while taking care of her. We would greatly appreciate any help that you can give. Thank you for taking the time read our life story.  If you’re willing to help:

My fiance lost her job due to pregnancy related issues because her job didnt accept doctor notes. She told her manager she needed to go to the hospital and she was able to leave but the manager didnt tell her that would cause her to get fired.

Hi, my name is kaycee i am 22 years old. I work full time at a gym as well as run a drama club at our local school. I have been working hard to lose weight the past few years and after years of failed attempts i finally found a nutrition and workout plan that has helped me to love over 100lbs in the laat 2 years! However i have a pocket in my lower abdoman from a previous surgery that holds the fat and the only way to get rid of it is to either have another sugery that i frankly dont qant and cant afford or this procedure called red light therapy. This procedure costs $2000-$2500 and will remove the fat from the pocket allowing my nutrition and workout to maintain that after the fact. I need help paying for this procedure it is a non invasive alternative that would drasticlt change my life as well as my self image! Any help is grwatly appreciated! Paypal @KayceeMoore22

Just some background, my wife and two children live in Phoenix, AZ. All of our family lives in Minnesota, so all we have out here is ourselves and a few friends.

It all started with my wife(Kelly)  getting Covid 19 in October of 2021. She ended up being hospitalized for 2 weeks because her sodium levels dropped so much her brain began to swell which caused Covid brain or Covid fog. It was very similar to a person having dementia. She imagined things happening and people being there when they really weren’t there at all. She couldn’t be trusted by herself for the first few weeks of recovery so I had to take 2 ½ weeks off unpaid to take care of her.  She was off unpaid  until the beginning of January 2022 when she was finally able to return to work.

Even though Kelly was able to return to work when she was in the hospital they saw high CEA(cancer indicators) levels so the hunt for cancer and more doctor bills were incurred.

Fast forward to March 2022 and her brother was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and her mom was diagnosed with lung cancer.  So we went back to visit them for Easter in April of 2022. It was the last time we saw him alive as he passed away on 9/12/2022 Kelly’s birthday. We received the news while out for her birthday dinner.

Kelly had a colonoscopy in May that appeared clear, however she woke up in early August with severe pain and went to the emergency room where she was diagnosed with a blockage in her intestine that turned out to be colon cancer. She had an emergency surgery and has thankfully recovered, however she missed another month of work unpaid.

Then in late September I fell and broke two metatarsals in my right foot which ended up with me having surgery and missing a few weeks of work, unpaid.

Soon after that my Grandmother who was in hospice passed away so now we had two funerals in Minnesota 190 miles apart on the same weekend. So I went to my grandmother’s funeral and she went to her brother’s funeral.

I was able to work with some help from a friend taking me to work and a rented knee scooter but money was getting tighter. Kelly and I currently have $30,000.00 in medical bills due to Covid, cancer and a broken foot . We burned through our savings and had to start using credit cards to get by. I recently took out a $35,000.00 loan to pay off the credit card bills but now Kelly’s 82 year old mom has stage 4 brain cancer and her 92 year old dad isn’t doing well either. We managed to pay for Kelly to go help them for a few weeks while her mom was doing whole brain radiation, but it doesn’t look like the outcome is going to be very good.

We were able to get a Christmas flight for my wife and daughter to go back for Christmas but even using some flight rewards the flights cost $900 which I had to put on a credit card.

I am hoping that some kind soul or souls will find it in their hearts to help us pay off the medical bills and the $35,000.00 loan. I have been fortunate that I have good enough credit to get us this far but I fear that I will not be able to sustain the minimum payments and it will all come crashing down. With what appears to be one or two funerals on the horizon that we will have to travel for again. Any help is appreciated. All I can do is trust in our lord god to help us get through our struggle and financial strain.

May god bless you.

Hi world,

First of all, I want to thank you for coming to this website and reading about the hardships faced by all of these people and me. May God bless your kindness. Even with just a click on the URL link, you are already a reason why this world is getting better.

I am a queer multimedia artist, a person of color in my late 20s. My journey over the past decade has been one of constant movement, relocating from city to city almost every year, each time on my own. This nomadic lifestyle, while enriching in many ways, has also been laden with its own set of challenges and hardships. I can’t remember how many times I almost lost the right to live somewhere due to the complex and frequently changing factors of visas or leases.

As I share my story with you, I hope to connect on a level that goes beyond just words and images, to a place of mutual understanding and empathy:

• Five years ago, my parents emptied every penny of their life savings which gathered over a decade to pay my tuition fees. Yet, even this wasn’t enough,  so they had to seek additional loans from banks and almost cut off all their entertainment costs.
• Three and a half years ago, I graduated right when the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown began. This unfortunate timing meant that my parents and my then-girlfriend missed their chance to obtain visitor visas to celebrate my graduation with me. Since that day, I have not had the opportunity to reunite with my family. To add to the hardship, two job offers I had secured were withdrawn as the companies struggled with the shift to remote work.
• Three years ago, when I finally found a paid job and wrapped up my first day, feeling a glimmer of hope, it was abruptly overshadowed by a cold breakup text message. The uncertainty of the pandemic’s end and the strain of long-distance were too much, leaving me to face these challenges alone.
• Two and a half years ago, all my savings went to a coast-to-coast job relocation. I had to work in person in an area where I knew no one, where there were hardly any communities of my race, and where the risk of Covid was alarmingly high. However, just two months later, the Monday right after I had driven back from a business trip to another state, I was laid off without any financial assistance. I wasn’t even able to fix a cracked tooth which will be mentioned in the following part of my story again.
• Two years ago, I had been unemployed for 5 months without any insurance. One day when I walked across the street under the green light, a car hit me and crashed both bones of my left lower leg, and then left me lying in the middle of a crossroad. After I was rushed to the emergency room, I wrote a few professional emails to the companies to which I was applying, requesting a delay in the interview process.That night, after waking up from surgery, I discovered two voice messages on my phone. One was from my mother, urging me to ask the nurses for a cheaper room because we couldn’t afford the good ones. The other message was from the management office of my apartment, informing me that while I was in surgery, a neighbor’s discarded cigarette had ignited items on my balcony. This fire had cracked all the glass windows between my balcony and living room. Even the police were incredulous that they had to deal with two separate incidents involving me on the same day.

  Five days after my hospital discharge, I returned to my apartment, just as a heavy snowfall began blanketing the northern city. Cold winds whistled through the shattered windows, causing my electricity bill to skyrocket. I learned to stand in the tiny bathroom with the walker to shower in front of the bathtub. I learned to crawl to the wall, use it to stand back up, and then clean up the mess of soup spilled all over me. I learned to use my body to push through doors that lacked accessibility features. It was so distressing that even an elderly lady who also visited the clinic, couldn’t bear to watch and offered to help. Additionally, I had to start my car in the cold underground garage and wait there to let it run for a while, to prevent engine damage from not being used for months during the winter.

• One and a half years ago, my other leg’s knee, fingers, and palm were injured and bled during a catastrophic stampede involving over ten thousand people, triggered by a mass shooting incident. I, along with tourists from several countries, hid in a residential building for hours.
• This year, despite having cleared the medical bills from the surgery and hospitalization for the car accident, which exceeded my pre-tax annual salary, I am still unable to run or walk downstairs normally. I’m stuck with enormous debt pressures from rehabilitation training, several panic attacks requiring emergency care, the additional costs brought about by my limited mobility, a second coast-to-coast job relocation, medical expenses for two young cats I adopted from near-death situations, legal fees for immigration and personal injury lawyers, and various material and promotional expenses for my philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
• The cracked tooth finally broke completely and gave me the pain that required extraction immediately. However, the dental clinic did insurance fraud and overcharged me $5000. Now I need a dental implant which they ask for another $2000.

 

The debt I already had: $64,100

The payments I will need to make in the next few months: $22,000, which includes

1. Legal fee: $19,000
2. Medical bills: $2,500
3. Car repairs: $500

So in total: $86,100

 

What I do to give back to the world and honor your kindness for the rest of my life:

1. In the Name of God, I donate items and cash as long as I’m capable to
2. I make non-profit digital artwork that tells stories of people in minority communities and hardships
3. I have been a volunteer mentor in the tech industry since 2019
4. I have been a volunteer for over 8 certified charity organizations since 2014 in 3 countries
5. I save the lives of pets in No-Kill shelters
6. I pray for everyone who helped me or other folks here more than twice a day

I need help paying medical bills because I don’t have any insurance.  I don’t have insurance because I drive for Uber and they don’t provide any benefits.  I use to make good money with Uber but now they are paying a lot less than what they have in the past.  I am actually making about half of what I use to make a couple of years ago.  With making less and the cost of living going up so much in the past couple of years I just don’t have anything extra for insurance.  I am just getting by with what I make.  I have already checked into getting insurance for next year and my estimated monthly insurance payments will be around $300.00 per month.  I am looking for a better job but in today’s environment it may be difficult.

My story begins on September 28, 2023, I was using a chainsaw to clear out some overgrowth along a barbed wire fence.  Apparently there was a broken strand of barbed wire in the overgrowth.  When the chain saw touched the wire it threw the end of it into my hand.  I was wearing leather gloves but the barbed wire went through my glove as if it wasn’t there.  The pain was immediate and very sharp.  I thought the barb went into my hand so I had to work to get my glove off to see what had happened.  Instead the main wire was deeply implanted into my hand.  Being alone I thought I would just pull the wire out, go sterilize the wound and bandage it.  I pulled on the wire and it wasn’t moving.  It made me sick where I broke out in a cold sweat and almost passed out.  I lay down on the ground until I felt better.  I was going to get help but the wire was attached to the fence so I was trapped.  Luckily I had my phone so I called my brother’s girlfriend who was at his home across the  street.  I explained the situation and told her I needed some wire cutters and needed to go to the ER.  It seemed like forever while I was waiting for her so I tried again to pull the barbed wire out of my hand and again I almost passed out.  I laid down on the ground again until she arrived.  The wire cutters she had were not strong enough to cut the barbed wire (which is two strands of wire twisted together) but about three feet away one of the strands was broken so we were able to cut it there.  I then rolled up the wire and she drove me to the ER with me holding the wire.  At the ER they finally found a pair of wire cutters and cut off most of the wire to make it more manageable.  (Tried to insert photo but couldn’t figure out how to do that.)  They took X-rays and gave me a tetanus shot.  Finally it was time to remove the barbed wire.  The doctor deaden the area around the wire and used a pair of pliers to pull on it.  Her first pull and it barely moved.  She pulled again harder and the wire came out.  I screamed in pain which is something I never do.  This was probably the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life and this was with the area deaden.  It turned out that the barbed wire had been inserted about two inches into my hand.  It’s no wonder why I couldn’t pull it out myself.  They gave me a prescription for antibiotics and sent me home stating I should come back if I had more problems.

The next day, September 29, 2023, my hand was extremely swollen and warm to the touch so I had to go back to the ER.  They gave me two IV antibiotics and prescribed another antibiotic to help with any infection.  They also made an appointment with a hand specialist.

On October 4, 2023, I went to see the hand specialist.  She examined it and said everything looked good considering what happened.  My hand did not show signs of nerve damage.  The numbness was normal and the feeling should return with time.  It just needed time to heal.  A follow up visit was rescheduled.

On October 18, 2023, I went back to the hand specialist for a follow up visit.  Everything was looking good.  I had good movement of my fingers.  She wanted me to continue to do stretches to help with the movement. She did not feel another follow up visit was necessary unless I should have any problems in the future.

At the time of writing this (December 10) my hand is still a bit swollen and stiff.  There is still some numbness in my fingers.  I will be scheduling another visit soon because I believe scar tissue has formed which prevents my fingers from going straight together to each other and leaving a gap between them.

Everything is returning to normal until October 28, 2023.  I woke up with a large swelling between my legs.  Yes, a bit personal so I will explain the facts in a way I hope no one is offended.  Basically over night my right testicle had stolen from the size of a large grape to an extra large goose egg.  It was about three inches long and two inches in diameter.  I waited Saturday and Sunday to give the swelling a chance to go down but it didn’t.  Late Sunday night (October 29) I went to the ER where they admitted me.  They did some tests and concluded that I had an UTI.  Yes, it is unusual for a male to get an UTI but it does happen, lucky me.  On Monday morning (October 30) they transferred me to their Gainesville location.  I stayed there until Tuesday afternoon.  Before leaving they made an appointment with an urologist.

On November 2, 2023, I went to the urologist.  He prescribed an antibiotic to take for 19 days.  He said it would take weeks for the swelling to go down.  Since I wasn’t able to urinate completely he had a catheter put in.  So now I had a waste bag attached to my leg.  Makes driving a bit more aukward.

On November 30, 2023, I returned to the urologist for my follow up.  When I got there I was later told they mis-scheduled my appointment because I should have been there in the morning to have time for their procedure and they did not have time to do it this late in the afternoon.  What a wasted trip!

December 1, 2023, I return to the urologist and the catheter was removed and the test only took about fifteen minutes.  (Had plenty of time the day before.)  I was mostly emptying my bladder so I was sent home with the instructions that if I was having problems to call back around 1:00.  I called back around 1:20 having to leave a message that I was going to the bathroom with difficulty and not emptying as much as I should.  They never called me back.  Needless to say my weekend was very miserable.

December 4, 2023, I just went back to the urologist since they never called me back.  In the end they put the catheter back in.  We discussed medication options but everything he wants to give me has the possibility of many very bad side effects.

That is my history from September 28, 2023 to December 10, 2023.  I will still need more follow up visits to the hand specialist and to the urologist.  I have done Uber only one weekend since the hand injury so I have not made much money and using what little bit of savings I have to get by.

Thank you to everyone that helps with any amount.  May you be blessed many times over.  If I get more than the amount for medical bills it will be used to pay any operating expenses I have since I am only making minimum income right now.

hi everyone, i hope all is well.

i’ve been super embarrassed to post this but i figured i would give this a shot since this is my last resort.

i’ve been out of work since october 1st due to medical issues, and thankfully i was blessed to get disability, however it is not enough to be able to pay my bills and medical expenses (dr visits and medications).

i’ve been doing…things i’m not proud of for fast money as a female. i’m sure you can guess. and it is really dehumanizing and not something i ever wanted to do.

i’m looking for financial help to get me back up on my feet, and to stop drowning in debt. i want to be able to go back to school for data analytics when i am well enough. i want so much for my life and this isn’t it. i just really need help in my current situation as the stress is too much for me to bare with no other supporting figures in my life.

if you can help, even a little would help, i would sincerely appreciate it.
