Dear friends,

 

I’ve never been the type to ask for help, but today I find myself at a point where I don’t know where else to turn. I’m reaching out to you all in a moment of great need, and with the hope that some of you may be able to offer a little bit of help or support in whatever way you can.

 

My wife, Elisabeth, is a beautiful, strong woman and an amazing mother to our kids. But right now, she’s facing a health crisis that’s threatening to change our lives in ways we never imagined. For the past few months, she’s been struggling with severe heart issues—specifically aortic arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia. These conditions have been terrifying and life-altering, and after numerous tests and doctor’s visits, we’ve finally received the recommendation for surgery. The surgery is not just a suggestion—it’s something that will literally save her life.

 

The cost of the surgery, however, is a staggering $7,000. And the truth is, I can’t afford it. I’ve been doing everything I can to keep our family afloat, but between the rent for our small apartment, monthly bills, and taking care of our kids, I’m struggling just to get by. We don’t have a lot of savings, and what we do have is being eaten up by the rising costs of everyday life.

 

To make matters even more difficult, the insurance company has refused to cover the surgery, citing her heart condition as a “pre-existing condition.” It’s something we’re both devastated by, and honestly, I feel like I’ve hit a wall. I’ve spent hours on the phone with them, trying to reason with them, trying to figure out any way they can help. But, as of right now, they’ve made it clear that there’s no way they’ll cover the surgery.

 

I’ve tried to look into every possible option, but nothing seems to be working. The hospitals offer payment plans, but with my income, I just don’t see how I can make the monthly payments on top of everything else. I feel like I’m drowning, and no matter how hard I try to stay afloat, the weight keeps pulling me down.

 

This isn’t just about the surgery—it’s about my wife. It’s about the woman I love, the mother of our children, the person who’s been by my side through thick and thin. She’s scared, and I’m scared. I don’t want to lose her. I don’t want my kids to lose their mother. And I don’t want to be in a position where I can’t do everything in my power to help her.

 

I’m reaching out to you all today to ask for help. I know that this isn’t something anyone likes to do, but I don’t know what else to do at this point. If there’s anyone who might be able to donate, whether it’s $5, $10, or anything you can afford, it would mean the world to us. Every little bit helps, and I’m so grateful for anything you can give.

 

I know times are tough for everyone right now, and I never want to make anyone feel obligated. But if you can, please consider donating to help us cover the cost of this surgery. We’ve set up a Paypal.me account, which is the easiest way for you to donate. The link is below:

If you can’t donate, I completely understand. But even just sharing this post with your friends and family would mean so much to us. The more people who know, the more likely it is that we can raise enough to give my wife the care she needs.

 

I’m also asking for your prayers. I know that sounds cliché, but in a time like this, when everything feels uncertain and out of control, I believe in the power of faith and community. If you could keep my wife in your thoughts, and send good energy our way, I would appreciate it more than words can express.

 

I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has already reached out to offer words of encouragement. It’s been overwhelming and humbling to see how much love and support we’ve received. You all have made a huge difference in helping us stay positive and hopeful during this difficult time. Even if you’re not in a position to help financially, just knowing that we’re not alone means everything.

 

Please, if you can, help us in any way you can. I’m doing everything I can to keep my family together, to keep things from falling apart, but I can’t do it alone. With your help, we can get my wife the surgery she needs, and we can hopefully get back to living our lives without this constant fear hanging over us.

 

I don’t want to let this be the story of our lives. I want my wife to come out of this stronger than ever, and I want to be able to continue to take care of our family. So, I’m asking for your help, not just for money, but for hope. For love. For my wife.

 

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your time, your support, and for being part of this journey with us. It means more than I can ever express.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’m reaching out with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for help. My 11-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a chronic and painful inflammatory bowel disease. Watching her endure this has been the hardest thing I’ve ever faced as a parent.  

For years, she suffered in silence. She experienced constant headaches, severe stomach pains, and extreme fatigue that left her weak and unable to enjoy her childhood like other kids her age. We visited countless doctors and specialists, but no one could figure out what was wrong. It wasn’t until recently that we finally got an answer that she has Ulcerative Colitis.  

Her diagnosis came as a shock—not just because she’s so young, but because this disease is uncommon in children her age. Doctors told us it’s unusual for someone so young to develop Ulcerative Colitis, which made it even harder to diagnose. While we’re relieved to finally have answers, the challenges ahead are daunting.  

My daughter’s condition is so severe that it requires constant care—frequent doctor visits, specialized medications, blood tests, colonoscopies, and even dietary adjustments. While I have health insurance, it covers only a fraction of these costs.

Despite the challenges, my daughter remains resilient. She loves gymnastics and dreams of becoming an Olympic gymnast someday. But her condition often leaves her too weak to attend school or enjoy the activities she loves. This illness has affected her both physically and mentally—she struggles with anxiety about her health and often feels isolated from her peers because she can’t keep up with them.  

As a single mom with no additional support, I’ve done everything I can to provide for her on my own. I’ve taken on multiple side jobs—anything I can do to supplement our income while we figure out a long-term plan for sustainability—but it’s still not enough to cover everything she needs. I’ve already exhausted my savings trying to keep up with her medical bills, and the financial strain is overwhelming.  

I know there are others out there facing more severe health issues, but this diagnosis has completely upended my daughters life. Watching your child suffer is heartbreaking, especially when you feel powerless to give them the care they need.  

That’s why I’m asking for $5,000. This amount would allow me to pay off her outstanding medical bills and cover the costs of her ongoing treatments for the foreseeable future. It would give me the breathing room I need to focus on managing her condition without constantly worrying about how I’ll pay for it all. Most importantly, this support will help ensure that I won’t need to ask for financial help again in the future as we work toward long-term sustainability.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to giving my daughter the care she deserves and a chance at a brighter future. Please consider donating or sharing our story with others who might be able to help.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can provide. Even if you’re unable to offer financial assistance, your prayers and positive thoughts mean everything to us.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!

Thank you for understanding that asking for help can be difficult, but I will do whatever it takes to prioritize my daughter’s health. To maintain our anonymity, I’m using my Cash App $Thankyou2912 for donations. My photo is of a pink flower. Again, thank you so much!

Greetings,

Thank you for reading! My name is Meg and I am an disabled 44 year old woman.

I used to live a happy and well balanced, active life. However, one night shift at my job changed my life forever. I’m forced to rely on the US gov’t to live, and my company’s insurance provider for treatment, there has been none in 2 years. This is my story (and paypal dot me.

 

The first part is sections of an email that I never sent. An explanation follows.

Hi Mr. _ _ _ _ _:

My name is  https://www.paypal.me/megx and I am an employee of yours. I was with A_ _ _ _ _ _ for over 7 years. However, I was injured just after my second anniversary. And fired while on disability just after my 7th anniversary for “job abandonment” even though I was told I can never work again and am on SSDI. I have worked in two large Fulfillment Centers. I started on the east coast, and then later transferred to the west. I have worked in 5 different processes including Pick, Pack (single large and single small), Pack (restock), Pack (AFE), Quality, and as an Ambassador. 

Working there changed my life. I got into fantastic shape, was earning a decent wage and was hoping to earn my CDL or degree through the programs offered to associates. Prior to working there I spent over 15 years in customer and financial services. I also have both retail and retail management experience.

 I took the job because the pay and benefits were better than most other employers in my area and in addition, offered me the chance to better myself. As a mother of two, the option of not only returning to school, but doing so while working was an easy choice. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to start.

On December 15th, 2019 my world was changed completely. I was working in Pick at San Bernardino that night and seeing that a quarter pallet full of productss was a mess of empty boxes and trash, I set to clean the mess while I picked an order of approximately 120 items. On my final trip back, I took a different route from the conveyer belt and slipped on a piece of cardboard. The pain in my low back, right shoulder and right leg was instant and terrible. But since I had been injured on the job at least five times prior, I thought I could handle this time too. Turns out, this time was different. I went to Emergency Care onsite and after accepting treatment, I attempted to return to work. I could not do my job. 

I was sent to Concentra for xrays (my back only) and then sent home. I explained that I was in a great deal of pain and was advised that there were no fractures and that I should return to work at my next scheduled shift. When I returned the next day, I was advised that I could not be accommodated and to go home. 

I will save you the next few weeks, but I was sent to a non profit to “work”. This business was not open, there were feces on the floor and rats in the walls. The roof leaked and there was mold on most of the items. It was a generally unsafe environment and I was unable to continue to work there due to the ongoing pain and my lack of mobility.  

 

Concurrently, the insurance company approved 6 physical therapy sessions. When I advised the PTs that the exercises were painful, they did not take me seriously and I was laughed at. On my last session, a new therapist stated he could help me and proceeded to manipulate my hips, spine and legs. I was in bed with excruciating pain for weeks after that. 

 

Following the therapy, I was given acupuncture. I attended 5 sessions before the pandemic took hold. 

 

In February of 2020 I was finally given an MRI. This revealed “L4 and L5 disc herniations and spinal cord injury”. I was given no further treatment.

 

In February of 2021 I had a terrible exacerbation and was sent to the ER after my doctor said I didn’t need treatment. The ER wanted to perform surgery after an MRI with contrast was done and revealed that my L4, L5 disc was fractured and torn. That there was spinal cord compression at 2 other levels and I was in extreme pain. They did not want to perform surgery due to the injury being work related. Every request for treatment subsequently made by my neurosurgeon has been denied, aside from being allowed a single injection in April of 2021. 

 

Not much has happened since then, I have been home, taking my medication (which I pay for out if pocket because it is denied by Sedgwick) with no physical therapy, testing or procedures to help me at all. I was determined to help myself, but all I could do was stand for maybe an hour each day, and do some very light stretching. My condition has worsened without treatment and now I am mostly bedridden.

 

I am still not getting any help. 

I have lost my health insurance and my shares of stock. 

I was a top performer. 

I am 44 years old and living on 1400 monthy.  

My lawyers say that a settlement will require me to resign. 

They tell me that my injury, which now will certainly surgery and includes bone spurs that have developed along with the constant pain is “worth” a single years salary. 

If I can’t find someone to help me, my life will be forever filled with pain and financial hardship. All because I slipped on some trash at work whilst trying to “do the right thing “.

I deserve to be taken seriously and for these issues to be made right. I would love to put my customer service skills to use, I would love to be a liaison who helps other injured workers get through their experiences. I would love to stay, but I feel like I am unimportant and disposable.  

 

This is why I am appealing to you. I understand that workers comp. is a slippery slope, but if there is anything you can do to work with me on a settlement that includes payment and treatment for my injury and keeping a job, I would be eternally grateful and so would my family.

I was told that writing to you was unwise, but I am taking a chance because I have nowhere left to turn. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my (lengthy) email. 

Respectfully,

MVC

 

This is the email I never sent to my company’s ceo. I updated it because it has now been ovwr 5 years since my injury.

Since then, I’ve lost almost everything. I had to move back East to live with my parents. Then,  last year my mom passed away. I can’t afford a home and I can’t work. I’ve developed many other symptoms and no longer have medication to help with all of my symptoms (pain,muscle spasm,nerve pain, depression and anxiety,  foot pain amd leg mumbness, bowel issues due to the L4 compression).

Here, on the East coast,  no doctor is willing to take on my case. This is due to the company’s insurance company not wanting to pay the state rate here, or approve any treatments that doctors have suggested.

I now have bilateral nerve root compression, and have a hard time walking, even with my cane. I sometimes fall because my right leg goes numb or stops working. Additionally, the disc injuries now extend from L4 to S1.

My fiance believes that stem cell therapy will help me. I would like to try that so I can get my life back and start my own business! I have so many ideas and it’s so hard not being able to make any of them come to fruition. I don’t want to spend my life in bed or on the couch at home. I try to take supplement for my symptoms and move my body as much as possible, this often leaves me worse for wear. It’s so difficult watching life pass me by, year after year. I was injured at 39… I’ll be 45 in a few weeks.

NOW I’m left feeling so guilty that my fiance is now my caregiver.  These years are so crucial, we should be traveling, loving ome another, happy. But no, he’s taking care of me and working full time. He deserves a life with the fullness we planned on. If I can find a way to get better, I believe we can reach our goals and live the life we see in our dreams.

I believe that I will need living expenses, money for stem cells and travel and some startup capital for my business in the future. I don’t know what to ask for, I’m kind of embarrassed to even be here but I wasn’t sure where to go.

Any and all help is so greatly appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Dear reader, [Read more…]

In 2018 I was in a severe car accident that has lead to many medical issues and surgeries through out the years.  Medical bills piled up and no matter how hard I worked nothing is getting me ahead.  I took out loans to pay bills that I now can’t afford and barely making ends meet.

Then over Christmas my vehicle died and now I am having trouble getting a car with bad credit due to all the medical bills that I have accumulated.

I am just looking for someone to help me with the $15,000 that I have swirling around my head.  At 56 years old I never expected all of this to be happening.  I work a 45 hour a week job but still living paycheck to paycheck with no extra.

Please someone help.

I am writing to you with a heartfelt plea for help as I struggle through an overwhelming financial crisis. As a 100% disabled veteran, I have proudly served my country, and while I am grateful for the benefits provided, my family and I are currently facing financial difficulties that have become too great to manage on our own.

My only sources of income are Social Security and a little pension, as my disability prevents me from working. This income is stretched to its absolute limit to cover our basic living expenses. Unfortunately, recent unforeseen events have pushed us to the edge. Both my wife and my oldest son were hospitalized, and the resulting medical bills have amounted to over $58,000. Despite having some insurance coverage, the majority of these costs remain unpaid and weigh heavily on our shoulders.

In addition to these medical expenses, we are also burdened with a significant student loan debt of $123,000. This debt was incurred in an effort to improve my skills and secure a better future for my family, but my disability has made it impossible to pursue those aspirations. Adding to this financial strain, I have maxed out credit cards and a personal loan totaling $63,000. These were initially used to cover basic necessities and emergencies, but now they have created a never-ending cycle of debt.

Our daily existence revolves around living paycheck to paycheck, heavily relying on credit cards to pay for food, utilities, and other essentials. I make the minimum payments on these cards each month, only to immediately use the renewed credit to cover living expenses. This vicious cycle has left us without a clear path to financial stability.

Despite these daunting challenges, my family and I remain hopeful. We have taken steps to budget our limited resources and cut down on expenses, but the burden of these debts and medical bills is far too much for us to manage alone. The stress of this situation has had a serious impact on our mental and physical well-being, and we are desperately seeking a lifeline to help us regain our footing.

I am humbly asking for any financial assistance or support that can help us address these overwhelming debts and medical bills. Your generosity would allow us to stabilize our situation and focus on rebuilding our lives. Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a significant difference and bring us closer to a sense of relief and security.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your kindness and understanding mean more than words can express. I hope to one day repay the generosity shown to us and help others in need. Until then, we are deeply grateful for any help that can ease this burden and give us a chance to move forward. God bless you.

Last year was an all time stressful time. There was a lot going on which meant my life was on autopilot and filled with multitasking.

I took the day off to pick up my elderly dad who was released from the hospital after breaking his hip and needing back surgery. He needed lots of support so I was taking him to my home to stay with my family for a while. In two minutes of chaos my life changed.

I was helping my dad up the stairs, holding some of his belongings, my phone was ringing which took my attention away for a minute when my dad pulled on me unexpectedly and I fell face first onto the step in front of me.  I fractured bones in my face, my jaw and lost some teeth. My face does not look like me.

I have undergone the emergent procedures while racking up many medical bills but I want to work on improving my smile.

i am looking for financial help to pay off the rest of my medical bills so I can continue to support my family and elderly father. This would give me a lot of relief from stress AND allow me to save money to seek extensive dental work to make my smile look so much nicer.

I am seeking $25,000 to help me towards my goal and truly appreciate any help that can be given.

Hi,

I am newly divorced after 17 years of marriage.  I have been a homeschooling, stay at home mom during that entire time and now.  My ex-husband constantly cheated on me.  In 2015, my ex-husband and I got into a fight about another woman he was cheating on me with.  During that fight, he threw me across the room, and I landed on my left hip.  When I got up from that fall, I noticed that my left leg was shorter than the right.  After some time had passed, my psoas muscles suddenly tightened with bone on bone arthritis.  My hips are now locked, and I can’t open my legs.  I have gone to numerous chiropractors, orthopedics, massage/physical therapists, acupuncturists, and none could help me.  A few of them have told me that I need hip replacement surgery.  I didn’t have the money nor did my ex-husband’s insurance cover it, so I tried other ways to help myself, but nothing worked.  Now that I am divorced and a single mother of 2 children, these mobility limitations make it very difficult to perform my daily tasks.  I also have not been able to get a job because I’ve been out of work for so long and because of these mobile limitations, where I am having a hard time paying bills.  I don’t have medical insurance, nor I can’t afford it.

I am reaching out for donations with the prayer that I will receive the money that I need for a total hip replacement surgery for both of my hips, and to help me catch up on delinquent bills.  I am requesting $100,000.  This request is for $40K per hip, current delinquent medical and utility bills, because I no longer have my ex-husband’s income to pay them.  The judge in the divorce did not award me enough money to support myself and my children, and I don’t have the money to appeal the judge’s decision, so I am really in a financial bind.  I really need this hip replacement surgery so I can walk and stand upright again and get a job to support my children and myself because I have no help.  If you help me, I will be eternally grateful.

I have attached a video from almost 5 years ago when I went to a chiropractor in Los Angeles to see if he could help me, but unfortunately, he could not help me either.  Your donation will be greatly treasured.

Hi. I’m a mom of three wonderful children. Last year I had my third baby and almost a week later I almost died from having her. They said it was from placenta accreta. I was in the hospital for 8 days. I had an emergency hysterectomy to stop the bleeding and two blood transfusions. I got pneumonia in the hospital after being in the ICU for a few days. Luckily I pulled through and survived for my babies. I’m still recovering but I have all these bills now and it’s really hard to keep up with them along with everyday bills. I’m on this website for your help. Please and I thank you! Happy holidays1

I usually do not ask anyone for assistance with anything but i am now in need of assistance with medical bills I have received after my hospital stay in September 2024 for a cardiac condition I have had since March 2024. There is no way I could pay this amount in the time frame that the hospital wants it all paid in full. If anyone is able to assist me in any way, I would greatly appreciate it very much. Every little bit helps get the debt paid off. Thank you to anyone and everyone that can and is able to help me in this financial situation. You will be blessed for helping those that need financial assistance, etc. It never goes unnoticed in any way. Have a wonderful day! –Becky-  Here is my link- https://paypal.me/Kidd613?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US

I’ve dedicated my life to serving others, helping kids achieve their dreams in sports (mainly basketball). Here I am now at 43 years old, I never thought I would be fighting heart problems. It started almost two years ago when I had my first heart event on the track coaching hurdles. Severe chest pains and extremely high blood pressure led to an ER visit. Further testing revealed that I had a significant block in my LAD (widow maker), which led to a stent. No problem, stents fix this. However, nine months later (Feb 2024) I had another heart event. That led to another cath, which revealed my original stent failed. A second stent was inserted. In August 2024, that both sites had to be ballooned. So now I’m staring at a pile of medical bills, and bypass in 2025 to ultimately fix this issue. As a teacher and coach(I’m primary breadwinner in my house of four), I’m working long hours and cannot pick up extra work to pay medical bills. With the price of everything else going up, I’m unable to not only pay nearly $60,000 in medical bills. Several have gone to collection.

I’m reaching out for help during this holiday season. Anything helps here. My cashapp is $jcarson831. God Bless!
