Loss, medical, and credit cards have ran their toll

Hello, my name is Brandi. Ever since my son passed away my finances haven’t been the best. I ran up credit cards. I’m having a hard time making my car payment and my car is all I have left besides some belongings.  My medical bills will be rolling in soon. I’m getting a sonogram on my abdomen and breasts. I’m getting a mammogram and I’m getting tested for carpal tunnel. I have no idea how I’m going to pay for what insurance isn’t going to cover. I’m only 33. Life shouldn’t be this hard and sad. I truly hope there is someone out there that could help me with a fresh start to better my life and get me on the right track.

You can help safe a life

I am a 36 year old woman and a single mother of three and  I came to Canada 3 years ago with my three children to start a new life after being through a very tough time of loosing my partner, the father of my three kids. Hard to find job so I enrolled in school to upgrade myself.

Just before the lock down of COVID-19. My mum came to Canada from South Africa to spend time with my family and help me with my kids whilst I recover from an emotional breakdown and suicide attempt.

Life has been hard for me both emotionally and financially. On November 23rd, my mum fell and couldn’t move. My daughter had to call me and when I got to her she suddenly could not speak or move. The left side of her body was almost paralyzed. My kids and I were so scared I had to call the ambulance and they were able to revive her and take her to the hospital. After much testing we were told she has leak or rupture of a blood vessel, due to a block in a vessel by a clot. And that she will require a carotid endarterectomy surgery.  The cost of the surgery and bills is about $50,000. Unfortunately for me I don’t have health insurance for her treatment. Already I have borrowed money from the few friends I have to pay for her admission. I am so scared. I do not want to lose my mum. She is a nice and caring mother and she really loves her grandchildren. We are all so broken and my kids misses their grandma. Please help safe her life and put a smile back on our faces.  I really need help. Please help give life to my mum and my family. Right now, my account is in the negative as I have been struggling as a single mum and a student.

Your contribution is highly appreciated, and I pray that you will be blessed. Please share if you can. Safe my mum, safe me, put a smile on our faces

SLE medication

Hello,

My name is Jelena, i′m 20 years old and i′m from Serbia (Belgrade)

Since my 14th year I lived a normal life, I went to school, had many friends, I also had a lot sport activities including kick box, volleyball, football… But then it all started to change when I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). When i first gotten in a hospital, the main doctor told me that I was lucky for arriving in the last moment, my health condition was so bad that the doctors taught that i could die any moment. When the doctors first told me that I have Lupus, I didn′t know what Lupus is, they told me that Lupus is an autoimmune disease, where the immune system attacks it′s own self, that means that it can cause damage on organs, skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, brain… Ant that it can′t cure. As an 14-year-old girl, I didn′t know what to expect, but I knew that I had to fight for my life. I had a lot issues, I was in big pain, I haven′t been able to walk by myself, I ve gotten weight that was a side effect from my corticosteroid therapy, but then, for an 14-year-old, the biggest punch in the face was when my hair fall out, I cried for days, but then I decided to fight stronger. Many days in the hospital, many different medications and therapies helped me to fight the disease and win the first round. A year later, when I thought that I′m an absolute winner, Lupus attacked me. I vent to my doctor, and I′ve done analysis with biopsy that shown that the Lupus attacked the kidneys, I was again in hospital for 2 months, the attack was so tough, the medication was aggressive I turned into a ghost, I was′n able to eat, walk, sleep… As my fight with SLE continued, I started to lose hope that one day I could live a life-like I used. Congratulations Lupus, 1-1. But then it all started to go better, I finished high school, gotten my first job, meet my boyfriend, everything was normal, i had a little pain in my joints, but i was used to it. For 3 years I was in clinical remission, who′s laughing now, ha Lupus? Again, i thought that I′m a winner, but no, I wasn′t. Lupus had again attacked my kidneys, i′m again in that stadium that i can barely walk. I lost my job cause i can′t work, the financial situation is bad and i can′t afford medication that could help me with my fight. The medication that is necessary  for my kidneys is caled MYFORTIC (mycophenolic acid) in Serbia it cost 33.200 RSD (334 USD – 282 EUR) And one box of that medication is enough for my monthly therapy. 

If anyone could help me throw my fight, i would be so thankful. I′m a fighter and I promise not to give up, I still have a lot stuff to do, but i really do need financial help for my therapy and i know that there are people who can and who want to help. If you are one-off them, please donate me ass much as you can, every help is welcome.

Needling money for my medical bill and opening a mental and eating disorder group

hi,

I have long time experience with epilepsy, diabetes, mental and eating disorder! This particular disorders are bad not only mentally but also physically! I want to raise money, not only for men , but also for other people in that situation. I want to open a community (like AA) so people won’t be scared to tell their stories and have moral support during those difficult times! I also need money for my pills! They are a lot (levebon, epitrigine, metfodiab, seroxat, dulsevia and xanax). I know that those are a lot of pills, but the doctors appointments are even more expensive! I’m basically begging for the money, because my parents can’t take it all anymore!

Thank you for reading this!

Hi my name is Mayra and first of all thank you for clicking on my post.
I am currently dealing with the drawbacks of getting into any emergency medical situation and going to the emergency room. I needed CT scans to make sure I was okay after my car accident on Oct. 19 2020, my hospital bill for $5,094.00 came in on October 26, 2020 and my CT scans cost a total $450.00 which when I call the hospital, they are separate from each other, I was also told I have another bill comming in because of the doctors in the Overlake hospital emergency room are separate from both of these bills:( I totaled my car and I got a ticket, for driving to fast for conditions even though the 4×4 truck in front of me was swerving and then stopped abruptly and my car slid directly under his leaving his car scratch free I tried to explain to the cop but I also understood he was just doing his job and following protocol, I mitigated the ticket to see if I could ask for community service instead of monetary pay back because I am also dealing with these medical bills. I am just taking a shot in the dark with this post I am really al my last ends here please help if you can I can provide more evidence if you need proof I’ll give all the evidence I have but I have only figured out how to attach two images to this post.

Please help. Chronic Illness Medical Bills!

Hi. My name is Isabel and I am 19 years old struggling with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. If you’re unfamiliar with these conditions, in short, I am unable to do normal physical activities without debilitating fatigue and passing out. I’m in treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, but the fees are a huge burden on my family.

Due to covid, my family is in the worst place financially that we’ve been in since the recession. I have two younger sisters, one in high school and one in elementary. As the oldest daughter, I know I have a responsibility to take care of them and financially support my family, but my illnesses have made basic living a struggle. Thankfully, I am no longer in a wheelchair, but times are still difficult.

I’ve never posted to a website like this before. In fact, I never thought I would be asking anyone for financial assistance like this, but right now I cannot find another alternative. If you’ve read this far, thank you so much. Every dollar really helps me not just financially but emotionally and physically as well.

Praying that this works. God bless you.

Hearing-impaired need help.

Hello, my name is Patrick Jen. I have a deafness disability, I was not born with the disability rather it happened gradually sometimes around my mid-teens. I can’t remember exactly what led to my disability but I can remember that I began to lose my hearing ability some months after I was hospitalized for an illness.

Prior to falling sick, I had just lost my dad and we were back from the funeral. Some weeks later I fall sick in the morning, my tooth became clamped tight together the upper and lower jaw. And my siblings had to use table spoon to separate my jaws. My mum rushed me to the hospital and I was admitted. I spent some weeks on hospital bed undergoing treatment, after the doctor certified that I was doing okay and I can go home, I was discharged from the hospital. I went back home and continued my full recovery.

Few months later my mum was issued an eviction notice to leave the house, because our dad has been paying the rent, and she was jobless while he was alive. And now she is unable to keep paying the rent. We left the house and moved into a low-income house before we will be able to renovate an old house that our dad left behind.

It was while we are staying in the low-income house that I began to lose my hearing ability. It felt as if there is water in my ears. My siblings took offence because they thought I was deliberately ignoring them whenever they call me, not knowing that I actually can’t hear what they are saying. I explained to my mum that I truly can’t hear and she took me to the hospital, I was checked and some drugs were prescribed for me to use. I began to use the drugs and I got some relief from the hearing loss. But unfortunately the drugs finished and I was unable to buy more and sustain the treatment because we are poor and there is no one to help.

As a result of lack of treatment, the hearing loss returned and persisted. Now I can’t hear the human voice without a hearing aid, I can only hear very loud noise.

Please I need help of $10000 to enable me seek treatment and purchase the necessary drugs, so that I can go back to school and complete my education. Thank you very much for your generosity as you help me out with the little you can.

Teacher and Single Mom Needs Surgery Assistance

Hello,

My name is Samantha, I am a teacher and a single mom. I am asking for money to help me pay for my emergency breast surgery. I want to start by saying thank you for your consideration and generosity for sharing with people in need.

As a teen I developed extremely asymmetrical breasts one being an A cup and one being a C cup. When I graduated from college, I decided that I wanted to finally get them fixed and feel better about myself and get breast augmentation(implants).

However, 5 years later (this summer), after getting pregnant, and working to hard to get back to my pre pregnancy weight my implant ended up poking out of my breast, leaving my in a lot of sharp pain.

After speaking with the doctor who performed my surgery, they said it can happen over time specially in my case. The doctor told me that by moving my implants under the muscle it would take away the pain and leave a cushion so the implant would not poke through. In case you do not know insurance does not cover surgery deemed plastic even if it is an emergency, they only covered half of my anesthesia and hospital fee which was under $1000.

After spending over 10, 000 on this reconstructive surgery. I am now still left in the same terrible pain, and now the doctor claimed I needed another breast surgery to fix it. This pain is constant, I can’t even wear a normal bra, or sleep through the night without waking up in pain.

After hearing this I met with another surgeon for a second opinion. The second doctor told me that the original surgeon should have known moving the implant under the muscle wouldn’t be enough as there is not even enough tissue there to begin with, and he should have done a fat transfer to my breasts at the same time.

I am a single mom of a 1-year old boy, and a middle school teacher. I do not make much, but just enough that I do not get help from any program. It was hard enough to have to have to put 10,000 on a credit card for this last surgery, and now I have to some how pay that off ($400 a month) and come up with another 10,000 for another surgery in order to get rid of the pain, that was supposed to be taken care of already. Basically, I paid this doctor 10k to do a surgery on me where he fixed nothing and there is nothing I can do about it.

Thank you for hearing my story and considering helping me out. Although I am asking for $10,000 to pay for the surgery, I need to make the pain go away, anything you can do helps!! I am not greedy and asking for more, or even for help to pay of my credit card from the first time. I just am in pain and am begging at this point for help.

Please feel free to ask any questions. I would be happy to provide you with more details, evidence, etc. I have attached a picture of my current CareCredit bill for the first reconstructive surgery. I would be happy to provide you with further details about my surgery and any paperwork needed to prove to you that is what the money is being used for.

Thank you again. This would mean the world to me. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this.

Transgender Surgery Support.

Hello Everyone my name is Jacob Ferreira, I use He/Him pronouns, I’m 24 Years old and I’m a Transgender Male. I am currently going through the early stages of my transition. Unfortunately I have been unable to work due to Covid-19 and I’ve had to make some changes in my life because of that. I’ve Moved to my natal country the Dominican Republic with a very close friend in the meantime in order to afford rent, food, and any other living expenses as it is more affordable than The United States.
As someone who grew up in a very catholic driven country, I wasn’t able to start this transition earlier, and have been closeted for many years. I’ve always felt like there was something wrong with me in certain ways, and it wasn’t until moving to the United States I was able to fully accept myself. When I came out as a transgender male, My family was not supportive of my decisions of transitioning and getting testosterone making it harder for me to accept the changes I’m dealing with. I’ve been in this journey alone for about a year or so learning a lot from lgbtq+ communities and researching as much as possible about everything that I’m going through.
I’m starting this Donation request to raise money for my top surgery as I have a lot of gender dysphoria around my current chest. It is very hard and uncomfortable for me when it comes to wearing binders as they can make my breathing heavily restricted, It can cause permanent nerve damage, but it will also make most shirts show that I’m wearing a binder limiting my wardrobe & making myself very dysphoric, and conscious about my own body.
For those that may not know, top surgery is a procedure that creates a more masculine chest and is fairly common for trans men and non-binary people. I am unfortunately unable to use my insurance to cover the cost of top surgery and will have to pay out-of-pocket, however it will be more affordable to be done in the Dominican Republic than the United states which helps me slightly. The cost of my top surgery comes out to approx $3,500, plus some additional fees for the overnight hospital stay and any medications needed.
I am also a Cartoon/Anime Artist, I will be taking drawing requests for those willing to donate. any help is appreciated!

Hospital Bills with no Health Insurance

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read my post,

I am recently graduated from college with quite a bit in student loans to pay off.  I just got my first job out of college and moved into my first apartment. Just when you think things are going well, obstacles appear.

I was laid off from my job during COVID.  Since I was laid off I was taken off of the company health insurance.

Shortly after I was off health insurance, I had a medical emergency and had to go to the hospital. I got a piece of chicken stuck in my esophagus and could not swallow. It would come out so I needed an endoscopy to have it removed.  I had no choice but to go to the hospital uninsured.

I was unaware of how much this would cost me. I didn’t think it would be a big deal, but the bills kept coming.

I am currently in debt from student loans and am now set back another 6,000+ dollars from this hospital visit. I also have to pay rent monthly.

Even the smallest amounts of help towards my goal of paying off my debts would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping out.

I can’t believe it’s come to this

I’ve always considered myself as a proud woman. Working hard for myself and my children. But, things have come to a hault. My health took a turn. I’m not able to work. I have heart problems, back problems, I get back injections. I have fibromyalgia, hurt all the time. Intractable severe migraines almost daily and nightly, I’m on medication for that and have to take Botox for that. I do have Bipolar/depression and anxiety and foot problems I had surgery and have arthritis in it also. I have Barrett’s esophagus, motility problems with my esophagus, where the esophagus doesn’t push any of the food down to the stomach and I do not digest food. I wind up in the hospital several times yearly in horrible pain and throwing up. I have tons of hospital bills and I’m on 13 different types of medications and I’m not getting any type of government assistance. Some medications that I need, I can not take, because just one of them is over 1,000, that’s for my esophagus and that medication is called Dexilant. I’m on pain medications for my fibromyalgia and back problems and medications for my mental health. It’s very hard to pay doctors, medications, regular bills like phone, electric, water, housing, insurances, things like that and my daughters have mental illness and other illnesses also. This makes it even worse. It’s so very hard. My parents were helping me for awhile, my dad had an extra job. But, he had to quit and get double knee surgeries and they both are just living off social security. They are in their mid seventies. I feel so guilty that I even had my father working and helping me. That’s uncalled for. I swear if I could work I would, but, the pain and everything I go through is just too much. The last job I had, I loved it and would still be working there if it wouldn’t be for all of this. They worked with me on my problems till it got worse. I’m getting knee problems and had elbow surgery and the elbow is popping out again also. So everything is taking it’s toll and I really do not know what to do anymore. I really need help. I need my medications, I need procedures, I need to see the doctors. I need to pay the hospital bills and all my other bills. This bill attached is only one of MANY bills I have for the medical bills I have. Not including other bills. I can’t be on the street with my girls and Ill. I seen this site. I don’t know if it’s a real site, but, I guess I will try. I’m just hoping for a Blessing. If it’s not real, I know I’m still Blessed with my babies and will figure something out somehow. The good lord has looked over me this long, I died twice on the table and he brought me back, so I’m thankful for my life!

Hospital/Medical Financial Assistance Request

Hello there,

My name is Nat. This year has brought a lot of surprises, good and bad ones. The beginning of 2019, I had brain surgery to remove a benign tumor. The recovery was rough, but I was happily back at work by June. Then my husband and I found out we were expecting our first miracle for 2020. We were so excited because we were also looking towards adoption. In October 2019, I went to the ER and was told to not keep my hopes up. So, I stayed safe, healthy and cautious when moving, working, and taking care of myself. I ended up in the ER about 5 times from Oct 2019 to Jan 2020 and they were each terrifying. We didn’t want to hear bad news when we went in. I had severe vomiting and other symptoms that came about from the surgery I had that same year, I knew it was risky, but this was the first time we ever had a positive stick.
So, because of these emergency room visits in such a short time with NO health insurance in October/November 2019 and didn’t hit a deductible for Dec 2019, the bills began pilling up. I am now owing about $15,000 in medical bills which also include my son’s birth bills from the hospital. I have been using my credit cards to pay for diapers, formula, (which he has expensive formula due to GERD and allergies. The health insurance company said they would cover that, and they never did.) food, gas for my car to go to doctor’s visits, and my son has been in the ER a few times himself already too.

My husband and I are trying hard to pay the hospital bills off but it’s not enough. I am currently on maternity baby bonding leave until Dec 2020 and as happy as I am to be bonding with my son, I might consider going back to work sooner, but then the fear of the coronavirus at a daycare is terrifying. He is only turning 4 months soon, so being less than 1 years old with the pandemic is just unpredictable.  Before the pandemic, and before going on leave, we never needed assistance for anything. My husband and I have been living on our own for about 5 years now and are jobs we are grateful for, but now it’s rough. Our son is growing and our bills are pilling up.
It would be greatly appreciated if we can receive some assistance to help pay off all these bills. We are not planning for another child anytime soon due to the financial struggles we are having. We wanted a second one but again, when COVID-19 hit, and we saw how quickly our finances were depleting, we have decided to hold off for 4 years. Thank you so much for reading this letter. Stay safe.

Funds for Bills, Medical aids &; Ankle Replacement surgery expenses

My name is Keisha and I’m unavailable to pay some of my bills due to Corona causing Job lost. My husband is one of the many people who lost their job and my disability benefits are small. Still have to pay mortgage and food for the kids. I’m Physically Disabled with PTSD and agoraphobia, Hyperacusis and tinnitus. I also have mobility issues which i have to purchase other aids to help me get around better. I have nerve damage in my leg and due to my foot drop, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type 2. I’m in constant pain daily and our bills are running up causing my anxiety and panic attacks to flare up more. I’m also in need of a total ankle & Knee replacement surgery which is very expensive and the insurance company said it’s a high risk so it won’t be covered.

Total Ankle Replacement (also called ankle arthroplasty) is a surgical option for patients with arthritis of the ankle. This operation can relieve pain and maintain motion in the arthritic ankle joint and is an alternative to arthrodesis (ankle fusion) which can relieve pain but eliminates motion in the joint. Although it does not have the same long-term track record of hip or knee replacement, shorter-term studies on ankle replacement look very promising.

My Dad’s Hospitalization

My dad is diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. He’s been getting treatments for the cancer and for other complications due to the cancer for the past 3 years. My family and I had several scares and sleepless nights in and out of the ICU since then. A couple months ago, he had to be hospitalized again due to pneumonia. He’s now been in the hospital for over 3 months. Much to our dismay, we received a noticed from his insurance that they will no longer cover his current hospital stay due to the nature of his illness. This leaves my family with short notice of additional financial burden for the last 3 week and counting. We are choosing cheaper options of treatments instead of the best ones in hopes to save a few in bills, to the point where my dad is trying to refuse certain treatments because of the costs. This is not how someone has to live their life, choosing for the cheaper one or none at all because one is unable to afford treatment for their health. His doctors required that we hire a 24/7 private duty nurse to be by his bedside. He is currently hooked on a ventilator, very much aware and conscious, to help with his breathing.

It is so much more heartbreaking that because of this pandemic and his current health status, my family and I are not able to be by his side and comfort him. My family and I are still very hopeful that he can recover and be discharged from the hospital. My dad is a fighter, he has been fighting this for 3 years now, but I know he is losing hope mainly due to our current financial issue right now. I pray that as each day passes, he regains his hope and his will to continue fighting. Even with everything that is going on, and how some people tell me that he might not make it, I will still be by his side fighting this with him. My family will continue to fight in his corner, in hopes that he will be strong and well enough that he can be released from the hospital.

But as each day passes, each moment they run tests on him, give him medications, do blood tests, procedures, his hospital bills grows higher and higher. We want him to know that he shouldn’t worry about the bills and focus on himself getting better. We have settled almost $8000 of his hospital bill, but we still have about $30,000 and growing to pay off. So I’m asking anyone and everyone out there, please stand with my family, fight by my dad’s side, donate if you can.

Thank you!

Sometimes things that are too good to be true are worth the risk

Hi, my name is Mignon Felt. I am not made of money and never have been given anything in my whole life. My biological mom gave me and one of my brothers away when i was 5 and he was 8. we were both being abused by her pimp, then as he grew, he began abusing me. I finally told my new adopted parents at the age of 16 and they didn’t believe me. I have had trust issues all my life, and don’t make friends easy. I finally got married and you guessed it, he was an abuser. I was strong enough to leave him after he was beating my child with a belt for no reason. There is a lot of stuff I left out and if you want to know more I can, but I wanted to kind of get to the point. I have worked since I was 15. I started at a local Dairy Queen store, where the manager also sexually harassed me to the point where I kept switching schedules so i wouldn’t have to work with him and I eventually got fired, just to have to work with him a few years later at Walmart. I worked there for many years until I was attacked and had my son. My parents helped me a lot with the baby and a lot happened in between there as well. I have never gone long without a job. I have always been taught work hard for what you want. So I finally worked my way through college (while having no money for internet, going to McDonalds at midnight sometimes to submit homework paper and using their internet, i was going through a horrible divorce and having two children, one was 10 and the other was less than one ) and earned my master’s degree, but now I can’t find anything living in a small town and have no money to move to the city. I found a job at a local hospital and finally got insurance. I do not make enough though to pay the hospital bills for me and my children.

I need $3000 for my daughter who was in the ER for 5 hours and it cost over $8000.00 , I have been going to the Heart Doctor, but my deductible is $2500 each or $7500 for all three of us. plus, my current husband is disabled and became disable a year after we married, can’t work, going blind, partially deaf, and verbally and emotionally borderline abusive.

I just want to be able to get caught up on my hospital bills, maybe take them on a little vacation to a hotel in the city area and maybe watch a hockey game. I would honestly like to pay them all off, and to do that, I would need $10,000 but I’m not greedy, I am willing to accept anything anyone can help me with.

Please find attached the copy of just one of my bills from BCBS saying what I owe for medical bills. Thanks
