I feel like I could write a book here. I guess it started back in 2007 when I lost my daughter. She was out with her friends on Labor Day, going over to a boys house to meet his parents and on the way there was challenged to a drag race on the Interstate. My daughter was the only one out of three people who didn’t survive. She was only 19 and just signed up for modeling school. My name is Carolyn and I started my life sentence that day. Overcome with grief and depression.

I was working as a Surgical Tech at two jobs to make ends meet but after this happened. I wasn’t able to continue my second job as a tissue procurement tech for obvious reasons. I sold my house in Nebraska had to pay 3000 dollars to sell. I moved to California for a new beginning and to be close to my son who was serving in the Navy. I found a job as a surgical tech instructor and drove over to Phoenix to visit family and on my way I had a heart attack while I was driving there. I was admitted for a quadruple bypass. I had just moved into a new apartment and had to tell my new job that I wouldn’t be starting for a few weeks. Since then i have had 3 heart attacks,  5 stents, a charcot foot, and severe neuropathy in both legs and hands. I was traveling with my job and met my husband, got married and have been struggling through a marriage that was probably a mistake.

I thought getting a dog would help me through my depression but he turned out to have several health issues and we had to put him down for bone cancer, he was only 17 months old. I have dug us into a deep hole of debt. All i can say is I still have medical bills from years ago that I haven’t paid yet.  I know that I will always be depressed and in mourning for my baby. I know I have screwed up our life. I always think about ending it but I live for my son. I tried to apply for a consolidation loan but I can’t get one.

I wish someone could help. Desperate.

Thank you

Where to begin… It’s after 5am, I’m awake with the usual anxiety induced overthinking and stress and just happened upon this website and figured I’d give it a try.

For starters, my husband was diagnosed with cancer nearly two years ago and has undergone two operations… Following the second operation (to remove the lymph nodes in his torso) he ended up with a hernia and had to change jobs from working in a warehouse to behind a desk. With the job change we lost our medical insurance and have been turned away by most other insurance companies for pre-existing medical conditions (his cancer diagnosis and me with anxiety and high blood pressure), while the ones that will insure us cost about the same as a house payment each month. The trouble is, he was never even cleared or told he was in remission; the last blood work results still showed cancer markers to be elevated and that was a week before the insurance through his previous job dropped the coverage… We only qualify for Share of Cost Medicaid and can’t take a trip to the emergency room each month just to meet that cost requirement, plus he already has several thousand dollars worth of medical bills.

I have my own health issues aside from mental health and high blood pressure, but I’m most concerned about him.

To top it all off, we’ve been looking for a new home and are having trouble with the amount necessary just to move in somewhere with the cost of application fees and whatnot.

I’ve only recently started working again and it’s only part time, working from home, with very little money and no benefits. I’ve been unable to work outside of the home because we’ve been taking care of my father-in-law who was left paralyzed on one side following a third massive stroke a few years ago. He’s needed nearly ’round the clock care and we were the only ones to step up until less than a month ago. I’m currently looking for a job that I can maybe work part time or overnight as we have two children in school, my husband works during the day and we have only one vehicle. Working during the day for me isn’t an option unless I have a day off during the week because our kids have frequent doctor’s visits and we have no one else who can take them.

These are just a few of the concerns that keep me up most nights… I’m seriously at my wits end. Before my grandma passed away I had all the hope in the world, thanks to her. Now… it’s hard to find any peace of mind.

A few years ago I had an emergency appendectomy.  The emergency room is there just to save your life.  I had no choice of doctors and the two doctors that were on call were out of network doctors.  Empire Blue Cross does not cover that.  The bill is for $52,000 and it’s in collections now.  I’ll be paying that for the rest of my life.  I’m in debt relief for $27,000 and am insolvent.  I’m 65 yrs old, get $696 in social security and get food money from my husband.  That’s it.  He can’t pay any of this either.  I can’t seem to post pictures of the bills for some reason but if you send me your email address, I could send you photos of the bills.  Would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Thanks and GOD bless, Irene.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for just reading this. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when I was about 15, at the time I did not really understand what that meant to me. During my research into the disease I read too much on the negatives, so I got depressed and started cutting people out of my life. Figuring that it would be better for them if I died. While putting a face on for my family and doctors acting like I was fine while really just feeling like I was alone.
When I finally realized that I would be fine was when I meet other people with the disease who was doing well in life however, I was in college and working a part time job. Which is when the bills started piling up. On that end the one issue was the way one hospital billed my insurance company. The insurance company saw it as a double bill and required me to pay for the MRI consolidation. While the bill may been something I could have handled then, I figured I could contact my insurance and get them to pay for it. When that did not work, my tires on my car blow out, and I did not have money then to pay the bill. Then the debt collect got it which I had an issue just giving my information over a phone, which lead it to being put on hold. Because another emergency popped up what I was going to put towards it made its way to being put on that.
Right now I am working a full time job and trying to put so money away for emergencies, as well putting money away for a house so that I can move out of my friends’ place. And pay my roommate back for everything she has done for me.
Having been living with this disease for 13 years now I understand my body I plan to go back to school in the next few years to finish my degree in radiology at a community college. However, right now I just want to have some peace of mind with that debt gone.
My medical debts at this point is around $2,000. While my college debt is around 30k. Just paying those bills off would allow me to feel free to go back to school and finish what I started so long ago.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hello kind people,

    I feel so bad asking for help, but I have fallen into a financial perfect storm and won’t be able to stay afloat long without help.

    I have two very sweet boys, ages 1 and 3 that are my world. When my oldest was born I did not have good insurance coverage and used a credit card to cover my prenatal and labor expenses. I put the money for that into a balance transfer that would have 0% interest for a year thinking I would pay it off quickly when I returned to work. However when I went back to work I choose an at home daycare for my son (it had come highly recommended by a friend and the woman seemed very nice). After the first day my son would get hysterical whenever I dropped him off. Within a week he developed a diaper rash so sever he needed a prescription. I decided to go pick him up early one day (unannounced) and walked in to find that the lady watching him was just strapping him into a car seat and leaving him unattended in a bedroom upstairs to cry while I was at work. I was furious and heartbroken and felt like a complete failure as a mom for allowing this to happen to my sweet baby. I dropped down to a lighter work schedule and had a part time working mom friend that we would take turns watching each others kids. I took my son to work with me when I could and filled in with a babysitter when I needed to. This left virtually nothing to pay towards the money I had borrowed. I cut cost where I could (used cloth diapers, became diligent about coupons and got rid of tv/internet), I started doing online sales too, but it didn’t make much of a dent. After I had my second little guy more medical debt and daily expenses piled on and the interest kept compounding.

    The additional complicating factor is my work itself. I work primarily in home healthcare with children with developmental delays. I adore my work and the children I help, but because I’m an independent contractor, I have no benefits or sick leave. If I am sick, my kids are sick, or the kids I work with call out sick I don’t get paid. That makes it especially tough this time of year. Several of my home health kids are immunocompromised, so I cannot go see them if I am sick at all. I am able to fill in with some hospital shifts to supplement my income when I have consistent child care and there are shifts available to pick up.

   I have now found a good daycare/preschool for both boys where they will be well cared for, allowing me to finally pick up some more consistent hours at work, but it is expensive. My older son has started going there and my younger son starts in 2 weeks when they have a spot open for him. I have no idea how I’m going to afford both the child care payments and pay down my debt. The interest keeps compounding and now it’s over $15,000 ($15,310.93 as of today) which is more than my car is even worth. It keeps me up at night with worry and I don’t know what else to do. It’s so much money and any amount would help. I know if I can get that paid off, I could get back on my feet. I’m sorry this is so lengthy, but thank you so much for even considering helping. Any kindness will be paid forward as soon as I am able.

Blessings,

Kate

It’s funny how life will humble you out. I would never imagine myself begging for money. If my grandmother was alive she would be very disappointed in me asking. You see she had a lot of pride and because of it she struggled. Even til the end she didn’t tell anyone she had cancer. I found out because of the hospital floor. I was on was a cancer floor. I only had one week with her. I am upset that she didn’t tell anyone. We could have gotten help early for her. She choose to go in it alone. no one should be alone that’s why I don’t have a problem in asking for help. If my grandmother was here today I would tell her that I’m only human and everyone needs help at one time or another.

I’m here today because I need 3,000.00.

Part of it for a deductable. I need to have a egd done and I can’t have the procedure unless its paid.  I don’t have a bill to post because The doctors won’t start until I pay the deductible.

The other part to take my kids on a vacation. I told them if they got good grades I would take them to some where fun. Guess what, they got good grades. When I told them that I had a business and since then the business has closed. What a lot of people don’t know is a business may look like it doing well but there are a lot of cost and hard work being put in. As a owner I never earned a dime. I worked from sunset to sundown. I put everything into it. Then you have workers who don’t want to work and call in. Now, I’m short handed and have to step my game up. Although, I know the true reason. Whenever its nice outside you always get call ins. The funny thing is whenever its pay day no one calls in or are ever late funny how that works. I loved having my own business but what destroyed me was the location. Would I do it over again. I would but with what I know now. I would definitely would make some changes. That’s one thing for sure. It is hard but if you have the funds to make it than your good. I didn’t I just had the the drive. When the funds ran out I knew it was over. I also believe if my children were older I could have made it. When it’s your own you treat it different. When other people work for you they don’t know the tears and the sweat that you put in it but your children do. They have seen you.

What I have learned is sometimes in life it’s okay to ask. It’s even better if you can do a full circle and pay it forward after receiving help. In which I plan to do. I’m just in a funk right now and as soon as I’m able to I will reach out and return the favor. I have always helped others never in a million years I would think I would need help. Once I’m back on my feet I promise to help not someone but many.

I truly believe everything happens for a reason.

Thank you, for reading and thank you, if you decide to help.

Denise Gilmore, my mother, who is the rock of our family, suffered a stroke during her stay at the Pechanga resort and casino recently. Unfortunately, I was completely unaware of how serious a stroke can be. I was summoned to an emergency in Temecula California, to find my mother in intense pain and unable to speak. The scene in the emergency room broke my heart. I never imagined seeing the person that I was accustomed to relying on for just about everything, in a situation where she needed the help and me and my family more than ever.

The damage to her brain was determined to be the size of a golf ball and occurred in the area of the brain that effects speech and mobility. After a grueling stay at hospital in Temecula, followed by a stay at the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, she is finally back home and on the road to recovery. Her speech is impaired greatly, and she has loss use of muscles in her right arm (she is right-handed) due to the damage that occurred.

The treatment prescribed to her is simply time, practice pronouncing words she used to easily, and physical therapy to help gather strength in her right arm. In addition, she must now be conscious when watching anything that may be too stimulating for her brain at this time. As die-hard Marvel fans it was a hard to part ways with some of the movies we love most until the doctor feels she is healthy enough to resume. Life after stroke has been difficult. From trying to cover gas fees for several trips from Los Angeles to Temecula, using time off at work to make sure a family member is with her at all times during her recovery, to trying to reassure her to stay strong mentally and she fights the realization of things that will never be the same. Any stroke victim has gained my upmost respect and sympathy as you never really know until it hits home.

I am asking for donations to help with some of the financial burden incurred, the extensive medical bills that me and my family are attempting to cover, as well as to help with other bills that are past due while trying to devote all resources to the recovery process. We are feeling the pressure as due dates are coming up within the next month. I would also love to be able to take her on a trip to somewhere nice like Disneyland to celebrate her still being with us! Still having her with us is the ultimate relief during this trying time. The trip would be a bonus as medical and other bills are the main concern.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
