Hello, My name is Mitch and I am just now 20 years old. I have autism. I am asking for help because I broke my arm when we were in Texas. It was my ulna bone in the elbow. My parents helped me and it required surgery. The thing is my parents insurance had a big deductible like $16000 out of pocket and now drowning in medical bills. I am not asking for that or even near it. They said it is for them to worry about anyway. I have been going to community college and now have some college bills to pay back later but I’m trying to get my degree. The same year I broke my arm my brother got a tumor on his foot and had surgery. SO my parents had to pay more money for that. They are doing the best they can but my dads work transferred him to Florida recently. We are here now. I am asking for some money to help out for Christmas gifts for my little brother. He doesn’t get it and I barely do. I just know my parents got me therapy and got me help. They paid for extra to give me extra help and be a better person. My mom helped me so much and I hate seeing her cry from bills and worry. They they helped me with my arm and still paying for it. They take care of us the best they can but we are not even near rich. my dad is the only one working and he is a special mechanic. IF I could help get some money for my little brothers gifts it would be helpful. anything extra could go to my medical bills or to pay my college loan to help my family. My little brother is really funny and I don’t want him sad. Thank you for reading and if you can help great. www.PayPal.me/MPetty940 

Hello my name is Victoria Maloney. It has been quite a ride for me, but let’s go ahead and start by why I am posting this. For the past few years I have felt a great deal of pain in my ovaries. Never knew why or how to fix it. Had a couple surgeries that they thought were the reason to my pain that ended up not being the pin pointed reason. After 4 years of trial and error, this September I was finally diagnosed with Severe endometriosis. I wasn’t shocked but I was scared that it had to get that bad due to not getting treatment for it years ago. I am now needing to remove one ovary and possibly the other but I am 22 years old and still seeking to have kids in the future. I am raising money so that I can pay to freeze some of my eggs and help with the surgery bill. As I have been working from home due to severe cramps it’s been hard for me to work. So anything helps in this time.

My name is Justin Neff. I live in the small town of Weaverville in northern California. I moved back to my birth town with my new wife to be closer to my mom and other family after my dad passing of pancreatic cancer in 2015.

I was working on bringing a new plumbing company into town starting October 2017, and work was finally getting busier and more steady. I was almost able to afford certain things that I had been putting off (i.e. health insurance) so that my wife and I could pay the more important bills.

My coworker and I had gone to work with our boss in a nearby city on August 23rd, and after work we got a hotel so we could finish up on that following Friday. The next morning I woke up coughing, which caused me to vomit, which in turn caused my esophagus to tear. At the time I had no idea what had happened. I felt as though I had just pulled every single muscle in my body and all I could to was lay on the bed in pain. I could hardly breathe and it was difficult to tell my coworker that he needed to call 911. I was panicking and in the back of my mind I knew I couldn’t afford any of what was about to come, but it was either that or die; and I didn’t want to go out like that.

I ended up in the hospital for just over 3 weeks, with multiple surgeries and over half that time was in the ICU. I’m home now and recovering, and the bills keep coming in. I haven’t done the exact math, but I’m sure I’m up over 500,000. I’m on temporary disability, and that helps with income, but it isn’t enough to cover everything with my wife working. This leaves her having to spend more money on our credit cards than we ever have before, which in turn brings us more debt. I feel like a burden and now I can’t sleep due to the stress, especially with holidays coming up.

I will be on disability and unable to work for another 4 to 5 months, so any donations would be greatly appreciated. Even prayers or nice messages to lift my spirits are appreciated. It’s hard going day to day in this situation and knowing there are caring and giving people out there make it easier for people in my situation, or others that are even worse. Thank you very much for all that you can do to help.

Hello, my name is Ashlee! I’m a 30 year old stay at home mom of 2 little boys! In October of 2017 I  gave birth to my second son, Kellin Edward, he was awesome at breast feeding! Soon after that late one night I was complaining about a lump so I let my husband check. Sure enough he found a large lump in one of my breasts, I was scared being that both my parents have had cancer. I figured my breast was lumpy from breastfeeding (as this is actually really common) so I put off going to the doctor until the lump grew, it grew and grew and grew until it was about the size of a golf ball. It started to cause me pain, like a burning sensation. My family talked me into going and getting it checked out! Countless mammograms that radiologists were confused about, turned into unreadable ultrasounds, which ultimately turned into several biopsies. Since I was breastfeeding and my breasts were full of milk the biopsies turned into painful milk fissures, basically causing the biopsy site to leak bread milk causing bacterial growth and not letting it heal for months! MONTHS go by and I’m leaking out of biopsy sites daily, cleaning to make sure I don’t get infections then finally, biopsy results came back, my worst nightmare came true. Ductal carcinoma, a localized cancer of the milk duct (not at all related to breastfeeding). Radiation treatments followed, trying to care for a one year old and 3 year old while paying for cancer treatments, my husband worked around the clock to help get extra money, we got roommates to help compensate, but bill after bill came and we were taking from one bill to pay another over due bill. We have no family close to help with the kids! It’s hard enough trying to heal from cancer, but also having to wake up and be 2 little boys whole world is a job by itself entirely! What an ugly cycle, I’m sick and tired and scrambling to find work while still going through treatment and raising my kids! My car doesn’t work right and it’s falling apart. Somethings gotta give, I’m doing all that I can! I just would like to fix my car and give my kids some presents, help my husband pay some of our overdue bills! My family deserves better and I can’t compensate, the economy and cost of living has gone up. I don’t know if anyone will actually read this but I’m here, I’m real, and I need some kind of angel! Thanks

Hello. I am a 28 year old man who is unable to work at this time due to several physical and mental issues that have compounded over the course of my life. I am currently suffering from chronic fibromyalgia, causing acute pain in my lower back, neck, hips and thighs, chronic arthritis in my left hand and wrist from 2 separate and extreme breaks when I was young. I also have compressed discs in my lower back as a result of being severely overweight for a large portion of my life. I also have moderate vertigo which leaves me unable to drive and in combination with my back pain, unable to stand or walk for more than 15 or so minutes at a time. I also suffered a quasi-heart attack at 21 and now have to take heart-rhythm-regulating and blood pressure medicine for the rest of my life.  I have lost 150lbs since May 2017, however it hasn’t helped resolve any of the physical issues I experience.

I have mental health issues that I have been receiving treatment for, so far, however, nothing has made a significant impact. I suffer from extreme social anxiety, depression and PTSD from several traumatic instances during my childhood, one of which was witnessing my father be killed by a car while my family and I were on vacation when I was 8 years old.

Our car had broken down on a mountain highway and a group of 3 younger girls had stopped to help our family.My father had walked to meet them as they had to park a short distance ahead of us and as they met, a driver fell asleep at the wheel and veered towards them, my father saw it happening and pushed the girls out of the way and was hit by the car himself.

I watched it all happen from the front seat of our car. Not long after, my mother suffered a brain aneurysm and almost died. She recovered and remarried and I have a great relationship with her and my stepfather to this day, however, they both were forced to sell their home and buy a camping trailer and travel to wildlife refuges and work as volunteers because finances became very tight for them in the last few years.

I am now living in a home with my older brother. He is renting from a friend of our parents at a reduced cost. However, it is a huge burden on my brother as he has two daughters that he pays child support for, on top of supporting me.

I also have two spoiled rescue cats that I try to give the best life possible and would love to be able to do more for them!

I would really like to say thank you for reading this and I appreciate you simply reading my condensed story. I have more to tell, good and bad, and maybe one day I’ll be able to tell it.

Thank you.

     Hello my name is James. I have a wonderful fiancee Sara and 5 awesome kids Lexi, Shaun, Abby, Nae Nae and Carina. Our first grandchild is on the way as well. She will be here in just a few months. I think they’ve decided on Ava for her name.  I have a good job that I enjoy. Im a contract weather observer. It pays well, but we don’t have health insurance. The health and welfare allowance that we get is not enough for us to afford it. I can get CHIP insurance for the kids at a reduced rate. But, with a mortgage, travel expenses for my long commute and just buying groceries for all of us. We can’t even afford to pay for that now. I have worked for the last 3 years or so on top of my regular job to learn to trade stocks. I’ve put probably thousands of hours into it. Learning as much as I can at it and also paper trading and real money trading. I’ve gotten pretty good at it. The problem is that every time I start to build my account. We get hit with an emergency medical bill that we have to pay cash for or some other unexpected expense and I drain my trading account to pay for it. I’ve put all this time in to trading to generate an additional income only to get wiped out by some emergency. I am certain that I can be consistently profitable if I had the startup cash. I’m asking hoping to get  $5k to fund my account. This money would allow me to generate an additional income that would help pay for health insurance for my family and give them a better life. I don’t like to ask for help from people that I do not know, but I’m trying to do whatever possible to better my fiancee and children’s lives. I’m hoping to one day be able to teach my kids and grand kids what I have learned also so that they can get started earlier than I did and make better lives for themselves and their kids. If you’d like to check and make sure I’m not some sort of scammer. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story. If I am able to get some help I will come back to here and give back. Who knows I may be helping you someday.

I am a special education teacher. My student loans are currently in default. I can’t pay the 600 dollars a month they are requiring me to pay. They want to garnish my wages and take 30 percent of my paycheck. I barely make enough to pay my rent and my daily bills for food and clothing. I had a medical emergency and now I have 5000.00 d0llars in medical bills that have been turned over to collection agencies. My salary pays my rent, car payment, car insurance, medical insurance and food. I usually only have about 50 dollars left at the end of the month.

Student loan company want a 4000.00 dollar good faith payment or they garnish my wages.

The medical credit agencies are threatening legal action if I don’t pay that in full

Over the years medical expenses have skyrocketed. Before 2015 my insulin used to cost (out of pocket) less than my current heath insurance premium which is nearing 400+ a month. Both insulins that I need to live (out of pocket) are around 2k a month making it impossible to live with out insurance.

I work full time and help my brother out with his kids. He went through a nasty divorce that left him with lots of lawyer debt. He has two kids and new mortgage  that I help pay for. This puts stress on high for both me and him. Stress is not good for a insulin dependent diabetic, but you do what you got to do.

With coast of health care and car insurance and a load of other bills that are pilling up the struggle has become real. I’m not a giver upper but i do need help. Giving will go towards helping with medical costs, but also helping me start a business.  I have a few inventions that have been put on hold due to lack of funds.

Just to give you a piece of mind I am also the author of this book I have for sale on amazon.  I am dedicated and driven just don’t have the money for marketing or getting my name out there.

Thank you for your support!

Hello, My name is Morgan.  About two years ago I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease after about six months of trying to diagnose an issue with my leg and difficulty walking.  I was so grateful to finally have a diagnosis and begin antibiotics so that I could walk again without pain and assistance.  I took it upon myself to study Lyme and learn as much as I could to aid my healing.

I was surprised to learn that antibiotics often do not take care of the infection if it is not found immediately and that other, more natural and holistic, methods are necessary to be healthy again.  I was then shocked and horrified to learn that effective treatment was not covered by medical insurance.  After another year of battling this disease I am happy to say that I am hopeful for remission.  It will take another year or so of treatment to be healthy again.

I was fortunate to have some retirement savings I could cash in and I qualified for a small loan to help pay for the treatment.  I have spent nearly $15,000 on this process.  However, I am unable to keep up with living and medical expenses now even with being able to work full time again.  My holistic doctor is gracious and patient with me in obtaining medications and treatments, but I cannot expect him to go without payment.  The natural protocols are expensive and generally supplied through my doctor by the companies Standard Process/Medi Herb, Beyond Balance, Energetix Corp., Bio-Botanical and DesBio Laboratories.  I include this information for verification purposes.  Also included in images are listings for the medications I need monthly and quarterly blood testing to maintain proper dosing and track progress.  I can provide more information in certain circumstances.

This is a horrible disease that robs a person of their ability to function in daily life.  Symptoms are so varied that it is often difficult to explain to others what is going on and leads others to distrust what you say.  Lyme leaves you feeling isolated, scared, and fearing for your sanity.  The doctor who treats me suffered Lyme several years ago and was able to learn through his own treatment how to help others, leading him to be certified holistically.  The CDC does not recognize any treatment beyond antibiotics despite study and proof to the contrary and the many natural treatments that are working for the thousands of those who suffer.  Since the disease is not recognized, insurance will not cover treatment and many are left financially ruined while trying to survive.  If you can find it in your heart to help me it would be greatly appreciated.  I just want to feel better and return to being a functioning member of society.

Hello,

I’m Tory. I’m a 27 year old transgender man,and I’m desperate to finish paying off the balance I need to finally get my top(chest) surgery. I started my journey at 15,but with less than supportive parents I didn’t have the opportunity to begin living as my true self until 3 years ago. I left home at 17 and have been working and struggling an unfortunate amount since, never stable enough to reliably save up as I needed to for this operation.

To a point, that has finally changed. I found a (relatively) local surgeon who not only does excellent work but was the most affordable I’d ever seen at just $5900 for everything. I worked hard at a welding shop,tightening every expense I could to stow money. I successfully paid off $3000 of the full cost. I had originally planned my surgery for November 26th and was well on the way.

Sadly, the shop fell on rough times and as the most junior employee I was let go. I have been unable to find a new job in my field and so am working tirelessly, taking every scrap of overtime possible as a courier for an auto company. While my life expenses are in order, I’m not making enough to put away what I would need to meet that final $2900 by April 1st without sacrificing my rent and bills.

I have been maintaining a GoFundMe to ask friends and family to help,only requesting $1000 and hoping to find side jobs to gather the rest so as not to feel like a burden. That too,sadly isn’t panning out. In 4 months I’ve only received $145. The generosity I have gotten has touched my heart,but I’m still left uncertain it will raise what is needed.

So,much as I feel a schlub posting this up, if anyone would be willing to give even a portion of that last little bit I need to finally,FINALLY feel comfortable and secure in my own body, you would have my eternal gratitude. I’ve waited so long to feel like I can really live and move forward and I’m so close.I just want to be finished and move along to being just your average,gritty welder.

Thank You.

I got peyronie’s disease in my early twenties. It has made my life very difficult. For those who don’t know what it is, it’s a disease/syndrome where plaque builds up on the penis, causing it to bend. My bend was like seventy degrees for the first few years I’ve had it, and, when I finally fell in love with the woman of my dreams (I was a virgin), the first time I had sex was obviously very awkward. However, this woman is the most amazing woman on the planet and she told me how great it felt and how she didn’t even notice the curvature (God bless her). . . It is a problem, though. Most of the time sex is painful for both of us, which has been psychologically devastating for me. To make matters worse, while having sex one day I fractured my penis (which is easy to do when your curvature is as extreme as mine is). After going into surgery, my penis healed but the curvature was worse than before. So now we almost never have sex. I struggle with accepting my condition. I know my wife is unhappy and wants to leave. I’m so sad, and that sadness has zapped my will to be a productive member of society. I had so much potential but I’m constantly depressed everyday. I’ve seen a psychiatrist, but I’ve refrained from taking anti-depressants; though I think may soon. I’m sure some people are laughing reading this but my life is very hard. Besides my wife, no one knows how much pain I keep inside. Anyway, I had some hope about a year ago when I learned about Xiaflex, the first FDA approved “treatment” for the disease. I couldn’t afford it but I went to see a specialist urologist in San Francisco, the closest doctor available who had experience using Xiaflex. The treatment works by injecting a plaque-eating agent into the scar tissue on the penis. I had to go back two times for many painful shots into the penis. All of it was to no avail. I put all my hopes into this treatment helping me fix everything but it didn’t. I don’t know what God’s plan is for me but I sure feel lost… I’m writing today because I have medical bills from my failed attempt at treating my peyronie’s disease. It’s about $2,362 I owe, but I’m on a payment plan of $236 each month. I’m now behind two months on my payment plan. I’ll attach the latest bill I have from them. Every bill is a reminder of the failed treatment and how it only made matters worse by adding to my financial troubles so getting rid of this is my number one goal. I never ask for money or help but I don’t know what else to do. I don’t even know if this will work, but I would be extremely grateful for anyone who had extra money to help pay this off.

Sincerely,

Justin Teel

Hi,

I’m Robert and I am 28 years old. I am currently struggling to get by after being put on a medical leave of absence from my employer as ordered by my Doctor. I am a type 2 diabetic who is suffering from nephropathy in my feet, as well as retinopathy which has affected my vision. I haven’t been able to work since May 9th 2018 as that day I was sent home from my employer after my leg and foot was swollen badly. After making a trip to the hospital it was discovered I had a diabetic ulcer on  my left foot, on my big toe. At first I wasn’t that worried about it as this has happened before, but upon further reviewing and x-rays it was then discovered that the ulcer had started to cause infection inside of my skin tissue almost up to the bone. I was then referred to a podiatrist to take over the care of my foot & at that point I was diagnosed with degenerative bone disease, which affects my joints causing my toes not to bend properly, thus causing excruciating pressure on my toes with every step I take. Shortly after I began treatment on my left foot I had began to get an ulcer on my right foot as well. I have applied for disability but am still awaiting a determination from Social Security on that matter. I am so far behind on bills that it is depressing, I had lost my health insurance due to not being able to work and with Dr’s appoints weekly, and some being out of town, it is extremely hard to get the funds for the Dr’s fees, and fuel/ transportation costs to get to these appointments. Every little bit of a donation could help.

Thank you in advance and my God bless you.

Thank you so much for clicking on my plea!

I have been happy independent and full of energy my entire life this is the last possible thing I thought I would ever have to do. I was diagnosed with Lupus recently. It has been a five year journey to discover what was wrong with me. So you can imagine all the doctors and testing I have had to endure. I had an amazing job as a phlebotomist at my local blood center. I was so blessed I got the job offer two hours before my final for my phlebotomy certificate. My illness was triggered from a back injury I had at work. Working as a phlebotomist became to challenging and painful for me . I was fortunate enough to transfer to the lab within my company. I missed all the donors that I had built incredible relationships with. I knew being in the lab was worth it so I could continue working.  I was working in the lab about a year when my doctor decided to start a new treatment plan. The medication I started made me very dizzy and forgetful. I have very few memories from the two months I was on the medication. We decided I needed to stop the medication. I ended up having serious withdrawals. I had brain zaps and severe full body pain. I had to go on medical leave at that time. It took two months for the claim to be approved so I had to use my credit cards to survive. I was unable to return to work at the blood center. I found a desk job with an insurance company. I was adapting well to my new position and I had amazing co workers. My rheumatologist decided to take me off one of my medications he didn’t feel was helping anymore. Within ten days I had completely relapsed I had full body aches and pains a full body rash I would describe as a bad sunburn. It took two months for the medication to start working again in that time I had severe anxiety and panic attacks. I developed a tremor in my right hand. I was placed on medical leave again it took 3 months for my short term claim to get approved. My long term has not been approved yet I have maxed out all of my credit cards. When my long term gets approved my wages will be cut down to 60% and I will have to pay $400 a month to keep my health insurance. I have so many medical bills I need to pay. I am the person in my family that members come to when they need help so I have no one to reach out to. I tried to get a personal loan. I did not get approved due to my debt to income ratio. I am doing my best to adapt to my illness and not let it beat me. I have done physical therapy , chiropractic care, counterstrain Thearpy, And pool Thearpy. I have had many cortisone shots none have been effective. I pushed passed my fears and went in for an SI joint injection. That experience was humiliating and extremely painful. In the end I got very minimal relief that did not last long.  I just need help to get back on track. My next step is to put my house up for sale and pray I make enough. I am so grateful you took the time to read my plea. Any help you could offer would be so appreciated. I wish  for you continued success and amazing health.

This has been a horrible year for me and my family. At the end of January, I had to go to the ER due to extreme, lower abdominal and flank pain. It turned out I had kidney stones and uterine fibroids. Two weeks later, my dad passed away very unexpectedly. Exactly one week later, my nephew was born and shortly after taken from his parents and placed with me.

It has been a struggle (emotionally, financially and every other way) for myself and my family. We do not qualify for help to take care of the baby, from the state, because my husband and I make too much money (of course). My husband and I struggle to stay afloat, financially. He works two jobs and I work one. I would work another job, but one of us has to be home to take care of my nephew and our daughter. I have acquired over $12,000 in credit card debt, mainly due to my medical bills (despite having health insurance), a broken air conditioner in the middle of summer, infant care and the basics (groceries, gas, utilities, etc.)

My nephew ‘s pediatrician recommended he be fitted for a cranial helmet. He doesn’t have an extremely flat head that would require surgery.  His head is not as flat as it was, because he is able to roll around and sit up. After an out of town visit to a specialist, we were informed that insurance would not cover the helmet. In order for my nephew to receive the helmet, we would have to pay $1,800 up front. I don’t know how we’re going to come up with the money, when our savings is completely gone, all credit cards are almost maxed out, we don’t qualify for a loan, and we can’t ge any kind of assistance from the state. On top of all of this, I have about $20,000 in student loans, that I’m desperately trying not to default on.

I keep hoping and praying for some kind of help. This year has been horrible and I feel like we’re sinking. After the loss of my dad, who I feel like I haven’t had a chance to mourn, and the stress of raising another child, when I feel like I’m failing my own child – it is beyond depressing. There are many nights that I go to bed wanting to give up, but knowing I can’t because my family needs me.

If someone could please help in any way, with at least a little bit of our financial struggles, it would be very much appreciated. It is so hard to live with such emotional and financial strain and just a tiny bit of relief at this point, would help tremendously. Thank you so much.

Almost one year now I was diagnosed with a Dural Venous Sinus Thrombosis. Which is basically a rare form of a stroke. So, let’s start at the beginning.

https://www.paypal.me/haguekm

I have PCOS….a common diagnosis. The most common way to help it is to regulate your period, what better way to do that than to go on “the pill”, so I did. Two and a half weeks later I am driving, complaining of minor headache. I stop at a gas station, pick up some Tylenol. When I get home, my headache hadn’t gotten any better. I decided to lay down, I’ll sleep this off. I woke up the next day with an excruciating headache. I thought to myself, this is what a migraine must feel like. Since migraines can be hereditary, I didn’t think to much of it since it runs in the family. I was asking friends and family what they do for their migraine headaches. Nothing was working. Everything was only getting worse. The next day I camped out on the couch once again to rest and sleep this off.

I couldn’t take it anymore, I called my mom and had her bring me to the urgent care, they couldn’t help me. The medicine they gave me didn’t do anything to help. I was then taken to the emergency room. I wasnt there very long before I was taken via ambulance to United Hospital.

I spent 14 days in the neuro ICU. I had a breathing tube in. Not a fan. When I passed my breathing test, they took the tube out….only to put it back in an hour later, I could no longer breathe on my own. I was home about 2 weeks, and had to go back.

My vision was starting to get blurry, not a good sign. Turns out I had a blood clot in my behind my eye. I spent another 5 days in the neuro ICU at the University of Minnesota to see the Opthalmology specialist. I was then released home once again. Only to go back, yet again.

This time it was for blood transfusions. Since I was on blood thinners I had to be careful about cutting myself. Well, I’m a 28(then 27) female. The worst thing that could happen…happened. I got my period. My hemoglobin went from 9.5, to 6.8 in a very short amount of time. I needed to blood transfusions to get caught up.

The culprit for all of this…. The birth control pills. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone, for any reason.

I am asking for money so I can finally feel relieved. These medical bills are ridiculous. Thankfully I have insurance… But that only covers so much. I have about $10,000 to pay. I hope you can help. Thank you

I live with my mother, who is disabled, and my 90-year old grandmother, who has dimentia. I am 34 years old. I have worked since I was 17, around the time my mom became disabled. We struggled for as long as I can remember. Sometimes, we only lived off of $10,000 to $12,000 a year and government assistance. 3.5 years ago that changed when my mom was able to start drawing more social security from my dad’s retirement. They were divorced when he died, but they had been married 22 years, and she got his retirement. Then 2 years ago (this month), things got better still, when I got a wonderful full time job at a cell phone store. But it’s half commission based, and things have been slow lately, plus I’ve had to miss some due to medical issues.

When I first got this job, and things were good for the first time that I could remember, I spent more than I saved. Part of what I spent, though, was helping out those around me who needed help, since I had received help from others in the past.

At this current point in time, though,, due to bills getting further and further behind, recent and upcoming medical conditions, new medicines, and similar issues, I am now about $1,000 behind on current bills. With another $1,000 that I need by October 29th for my deductible so I can have the surgery on my esophagus. I am also working with National Debt Relief, trying to avoid bankruptcy on other loans I’ve received in the past several months trying to catch up, which only made things worse. All together, it totals about $15,000

But, the main thing I’m concentrating on right now is current bills and the medical deductible for my surgery. I know I’ve caused a lot of my own problems by being frivolous instead of saving when things were good. So, I don’t expect much help due to that. But I promise, whatever is given to me, will be payed forward when I get back on my feet. I never forget anything done for me, and I always strive to pay it forward.

Sincerely,

Hello friends, my name is Ashley Robertsen, and I am writing today to inform you that our dear Grandma Lillian Mae passed away yesterday peacefully at home surrounded by her family after a short battle with lung cancer. She was a fighter, but was confined to the hospital for an extended period during treatments, and recently discovered the cancer had metastasized to her bones and was only given a short time to live. We are so grateful to the doctors and nurses who could make her comfortable in her last few days with us. Watching a loved one pass on is the hardest thing ever, but we have trust in God and believe that she is in a better place. We hope that you may be able to help us, and a donation in any amount is greatly appreciated. It has taken a lot of strength for me to ask for help, but need to settle her medical bills (currently at 35K) and upcoming costs of burial (estimated at 5K), which are beyond our ability to handle alone. Grandma Lillian was a farmer’s wife and homemaker who spent her life sharing joy with everyone she met. She put everyone first, even before any of her personal needs were met. It was important to her that every person felt special, no matter their personal situation in life. She loved everyone, baked cookies for every occasion, made homemade cards for every birthday, and just wanted to make sure that you knew she cared, especially with free hugs and kisses! If you are not able to donate, will you do us a favor? Please share a bit of love or act of kindness today with a stranger, just to help us pass on the legacy of my Grandma. We will be sure to pay-it-forward as we celebrate the life of our beautiful grandmother. Peace and love from my family, Ashley <3

Ben is smart, loving and determined. If you take the time to know and understand Ben, you will fall in love with his quirky humor. Hes a peanut for a 6 year old and just spent his birthday in the hospital for the first time. Ben was found this past week to have abdominal cancer, despite all of the doctors telling us he was fine. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma, a rare cancer (only about 200 children a year are diagnosed at this stage.) The doctors believe it is still very treatable, especially for a fighter like Ben. In the first 5 days of learning the news, Ben has had 3 different ultrasounds(abdomen and heart), two different MRI’s, two Xrays, a biopsy of bone marrow and tumer tissue and a port installed near his heart to start the treatment. He is receiving his first round of chemotherapy tonight. His brothers and sister cannot wait to bring him back home. Our current plan for treatment collaborates with both Hasbro and the Children’s Hospital in Boston. Six months of his treatment will be spent in Boston, as well as day trips to receive treatments and testing. We are thankful to everyone who has been supportive of Ben and our family. Our family is in need of assistance. We are hoping the insurance will cover a lot of Ben’s treatment. We have been told that some of the “trial” medications and treatments that Boston has to offer are expensive and some insurances will not cover especially if they are experimental medication. We are willing to do whatever it takes to get him the best treatment to improve his odds of living a normal life in the future. Our Family would like to ask that you make a donation to help our family get by financially while we all fight alongside Benjamin to cure his Cancer. No child should have to go through this ever. Thank you for your kind thoughts and support https://www.paypal.me/helpsaveBen

Hello everyone. I never thought I would have to do something like this, but I have no other option. Before I explain, yes I have a job, and no I’m not lazy. I’m a juvenile diabetic who simply needs some help with medical bills and paying off a loan. Millions of people around the world live with diabetes or know someone living with diabetes. The majority have type 2 diabetes, but an important minority have type 1 diabetes. Contrary to popular belief, type 1 diabetes is not a childhood disease.  It occurs at every age, in people of every race, and of every shape and size. In fact, there are more adults who have type 1 diabetes than children, although it was previously known as juvenile diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin at all.. Insulin and other supplies are not cheap, even with insurance. Then if you ever get sick, it’s multiplied times 10 because diabetes affects multiple aspects of your body and life. On top of that I have other supplies and medicine I have to take and use along with my insulin. Without these things, I simply wouldn’t be able to survive. I also pay rent and many other bills, so yes I’m financially struggling.  I have dealt with this disease since I was 7 years old. I’ve gone from 5 shots a day to using a new insulin pump. It can be manageable, but the financial burden is starting to take a toll on me in many different ways. A surprisingly large number of people with diabetes are using less insulin than prescribed because of the rising cost of the drug, putting themselves in danger of serious complications. Everyone with Type 1 diabetes needs to take insulin. It is just sad. And this isn’t a disease that is reversible or can be managed lightly. You have to watch yourself every single minute of every day. You have to watch what you eat, how you function on a daily basis. It can be exhausting mentally and physically. I have had a lot happen in my short 24 years of life. From losing my dad at a young age, to being diagnosed with diabetes so young, abusive relationships, you name it. Anything helps, and thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to help a girl get back on her feet and deal with this disease the best I can. 

My name is Megan. I never wanted to be the person to ask for help from anyone. I’ve always worked hard to be independent and to take care of myself.

Growing up, my mother was always a controlling person. I was kicked out at 16 simply because I didn’t want to sit at home one day. I was kept away from the world. I was never allowed to go and do things with friends. She kicked me off of her insurance at 18 and I managed to get my own place, two hours away after everything I went through with her.

After recent hard spots in a toxic relationship, my family convinced me to move back with her. While away and not having health insurance, I got into a car wreck. I had to go to the hospital and I have $8500 in hospital bills. After moving back, I tried to find a job but my mother made it difficult. I have two dogs I love and try to care for. She will not allow me to leave them for more than an hour, making it difficult to find any sort of work. I’ve fallen being on car payments totalling $1500 as well.

She’s requesting rent from me now and with no one to turn to and already being $10000 in debt with just two things, I may be out of a roof over my animals and my head. I’ve been trying to talk to her, trying to call family for help, but with no where to turn, I found this.

I have severe anxiety and severe depression that I need to get help with and medication for, but with no insurance, it’s only a dream. I want to get my life back on track but I have no place to start so I thought I might start here. If you would like to help me in any way, it would be more than appreciated and I couldn’t thank God enough for any form of help I can get in this current situation.

My mother, 58 years old, has type 2 diabetes. She has been a diabetic for over 23 years, and shows no signs getting better. She raised my two siblings and I on her own all of our lives, she’s our world. She recently underwent surgery two days ago for her to start her Dialysis, because her kidneys are starting to fail which is very upsetting for us as her children to deal with because she’s helped us all of our lives ,and we can’t financially help her because her debt from her medical bills is to far out our hands to handle. I’m her youngest son and youngest child. I have a 3 year old daughter my self, and fiancé. My fiancé and siblings are trying to help keep my mothers debt to a minimum but with her having to do dialysis every 4 days she isn’t healthy enough to keep her job, and is 2 years away before being eligible for her to receive her retirement funds. Please assist me and my small family help assist my mother it’s hard paying for my mothers bills, medical bills, and on top of that my daughters daycare and my own bills, a young man and his small family can only do so much. Not to mention me and my fiancé used our entire savings,for our down payment for us to get our first house but that was spent on my mother’s expensive medical bills. Please help us sincerely, we won’t don’t have any extra cash for food, utilities, her house note or her upcoming medical bills and no savings for our first house down payment.

First of all, I want to say thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this. Let me start off by saying this is the first time I’ve ever done something like this- I like to count my blessings and not the struggles. A bit about me, and my diagnosis: When I was 26, didn’t realize how good I really had it. I had a great job (lots of stress and responsibilities for someone my age) and I had finally found something I was truly passionate about that helped me escape the stressors that came with my job…I started going to circus school in my spare time- I was taking classes for aerial acrobatics, trapeze, Lyra, Ariel silks etc. i absolutely loved being in the air. I was happy. Then my grandmother who lived with me my entire life had passed away….she was very “blunt” and before she had passed she had told me “out of all the grandkids- your the weirdest (lol) but you, my dear, are going to make something of yourself if you keep embracing what you love”…next to her hospital bed she had a picture of me flying through the air on a trapeze with my best friend and that picture went with her into the ground lol. Several days after she passed I experienced what I thought was a “severe panic attack” and I ended up in the hospital that night. I had been diagnosed with “panic disorder”. I then continued to have the panic attacks about 1-2 times a month following the first episode. They were awful, uncontrollable, unpredictable, and embarrassing. I would hyperventilate, my vision would go out completely and everything would get very bright. But honestly, it was nothing I couldn’t handle. I decided to move out of my moms and get an apartment closer to my circus school. And I had a vision for myself- i would live alone in an apartment with no furniture (lol not thr typical vision) and I would have my Lyra (circus ring)hanging from the ceiling and another room with just a yoga mat so I could meditate. That’s kind of what happened but I ended up with a bunch of roommates (lol) and taking in too many people/ “friends” to try to give them a calm place to live during hard times. I started going into debt. It was like financially  supporting  a small family. Anyways, my panic attacks became severe and the company I worked for was going into the ground and I could feel it. I put in my two weeks at work and was paid out for my 2 months of vacation I had saved up and was going to use that time to find what truly made me happy. I started my job at a spa and I focused on healing peoples aches and pains naturally with aroma therapy, reiki (energy healing), ect. I was happy but it didn’t pay the bills. Financially things got worse. I was about to lose my apartment. Then I reconnected with my first boyfriend I ever had. He had been going through a divorce and severe depression- he ended up moving in, and fixing my life. He moved us out into a better neighborhood (so it was better situation for his beautiful little girl as well) and he continues to live in an apartment with no furniture and my circus ring hanging from the ceiling. October of 2017- I found a new job- to help me fix my credit, and I would be making almost as much as my first and I would have my health benefits back. I felt like I was finally fixing every and on my way to “adulting” properly. March 22nd of 2018- I ended up going to the emergency room with a severe migraine. I thought I had “meningitis”. I demanded a cat scan of my brain even though they wanted to just me anxiety meds…..the doctor came into my room after my cat scan and said “sorry, were going to need to transfer you to another hospital you have a lesion on your brain”…..my heart dropped. I thought maybe it could be an infection? Or an error? A few days later I went for the mri. A few days after that a nurse came in and said “you have a brain tumor we need to move your rooms so there will be more doctors to help you”…..I’ll never forget being pushed into that hallway reading the sign that “oncology”……I realized it was the cancer hallway…..I thought it was a mistake….I felt fine, so what If i get migraines sometimes and have panic attacks sometimes ….I’m active- I’m healthy- I didn’t feel like I had cancer…..i was trying to have a baby…..I was scared I would never  experience being a mom.   I was there for a week and had a team of doctors coming into my room talking about brain surgery and chemo and radiation and “treatment”… I was then discharged. I went to a couple neurology  appointments, met up with a few neurosurgeons- was told even just for a “biopsy”, the “access point” into my brain going through my temporal lobe would most like cause permanent side effects and the “panic attacks” I had been having were really non- convulsive seizures the entire time….so the seizures may increase after the surgery…and I may lose my sense of balance. I took the “wait and see” approach because BALANCE is all I do….I wouldn’t be able to continue my passion performing aerial acrobatics.  They had scheduled a follow up mri for a few months down the road to see how fast the cancer was spreading. I started on a raw vegan diet and was determined to heal myself with my food. Long story short…. my follow up mri was approaching and I wasn’t feeling so great…..I then recently found out….I’m pregnant. I’m currently 13 weeks. I’ve missed a ton of work because it’s a high risk pregnancy as well as trying to keep seizures under control without medication….I have no more personal time off….so when I miss work- I don’t get paid. My medical bills from all of this have been piling up…..my normal bills are piling up….and my checks are now smaller……I can’t reach out to family….because I haven’t told them I have brain cancer….because I want to be happy about my pregnancy and I don’t want the focus to be on the cancer I want the focus to be on being happy I’m having a baby.  I’ve been stuck in a never ending cycle of payday loans….and I can tell my boyfriend is struggling. We can’t make our rent this week…..and are scared to see that eviction notice on the door….it’s been a financial struggle every day to “eat for two” in a healthy way……but I won’t give up. I would be eternally greatful for any help and I’m a firm believer in always “paying it forward”. Thank you so much for your time.

Ive included my mri picture of my brain “glioma”. It is the illuminated “lemon” shaped mass.

I’m hoping to raise $2,000 for rent, medical bills, and my new baby to come- but of course anything is very much appreciated :)

  Where do I start??   Luck hasn’t been with me at all. …93 we had a house fire.  Had bad insurance and was forced to live in it …96 I had to go back to work.  To help pay bills.  Then I hurt my back on the job.  Compensation was nothing.  Like 35 a week    So I started doing crafts and babysitting ….2010 I went to the ER.  Had lots of pain.  Found out I had kidney cancer.  Renal carcinoma.   Ended up going in for surgery and having my kidney removed.  After a 12 inch incision, 62 staples.   He was hopeful he got it all out. …2011 I finally settled with compensation and I took what money I had and invested in a repossessed double wide    Yeah it took my money but I had a nice house to live in finally …..2012 I woke up and found I was hemorrhaging really bad.  Went to the ER to find out I had cancerous fibroids.  So I had a total hysterectomy and a bladder tvt.  But my doctor got the tvt too tight and a week later of being home with a catherer, she had to do a revision on the bladder. ….2018.   Still doing what crafts I can.  Babysitting my grand daughter for little to nothing.  I managed to save up enough to buy a used starter embroidery machine. One night while my daughter was here, the electric surged like 5 times.  And the surge protector did not save my embroidery machine.  I was heartbroken.  I have a change in doctors since the one I had is teaching now.  And the new one is not understanding at all.  Since all of this my anxiety is off the roof.  I’ve become a prisoner in my own house.  I’m fine staying home. But my son in law was stationed at fort drum. And he said mom, this guy is relocating and has to sell his car.  It was a 2007 Impala.  But it was a nice car and something I could drive and be ok and not stress when I go somewhere and have it broke down.  Well I hit a deer with it this spring.  And since we only had liability insurance I didn’t have the money to get it fixed. My husband is working double time just to pay the bills.  So I’m out my car and my machine. I was going deeper in that black hole. Then my doctor said I had three nodules on my right kidney.  I could not believe it.  Why me.  But with my luck, of course.  Already paying lawyers monthly for medical bills, no credit.  My doctor decided to go in and cut off the nodules and since July I have been taking chemo pills and IV chemo once a week.  But since I don’t have a car, I’m glad I have a understanding doctor and a nurse that comes to me.  I’ve lost my hair like three times now. But my levels are going down.  He wants me to get an mri to see what we are facing.  But I don’t have a car. So as I sit here.  I have been reaching out all over. https://www.facebook.com/events/262154201085450/?ti=icl I have a benefit I’m October.  I’ve pleaded on my groups and had an angel in Washington state send me an embroidery machine.  I’ve been asking Scrapbox if they would donate a sewing one, and they said they had to go up to the board, but it probably another no.  I’ve pleaded with all kinds of car dealerships.  No they only donate to organizations.   I’m doing everything I can. I’m not sure of my future.  But I’m trying to make what life I do have happier.  I have three beautiful grand babies. One I watch.  But two are two hours away.  And each day that goes by, I miss time with them because of no car. I have a cousin in North Dakota that has an appliance store and he is working on sending me a washer and dryer. Mum asking everyone for things to finish my craft room.  Since it’s just one thing in my life I enjoy and feel worth something when I do my crafts. So im pleading for any donations to help with medical   I need donations for a car   I need donations to finish my craft room   Anything is better than nothing
