Medical Bill assistance

I am requesting donations to assist with paying off an ambulance bill from the hospital from a few months back that I had to endure due to a foot injury and no one was able to drive me. I was in severe pain from some broken bones in my foot. I had to take an ambulance and stay to be admitted in the emergency department for processing. They took x rays, assisted with other tests and assisted with casting and crutches. I was able to have someone pick me up so at least I didn’t have to endure additional charges.  Total for just the one bill is $1,174.00 During this time I was forced to leave my job the same week that I was injured, since I did not qualify for Family Leave at the time,I was not able to commit to continuing my job,  my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and needed assistance to get to appointments and daily care and needs. She also assists with caring for my adult child which becomes full time for me as well, she is disabled and autistic with severe delays in development.  I was left uninsured at the time trying to assist with her care, and tried to work out payments but was not able to comply due to the financial burdens of household bills to keep my home going and mortgage paid. This bill left unpaid will force the county to levy my bank account. I am currently working as a freelancer but have not been able to catch up to make these payments and am not in a place to get a loan at this time. I am asking that any donations would be greatly appreciated and a true blessing be upon the giver. My intention will be to be diligent, pay this debt off and pay it forward. I do not like to ask and I have prayed on this over time as I have many more large bills to cover, but I’m starting with the oldest and one I’m concerned will affect my living if they start to garnish wages or seize my bank funding at this time. It’s a difficult time of year and it’s been a difficult situation dealing with the hurt that comes along with cancer and families especially managing through the holidays as we have. It’s a new year and I hope to be as productive as possible.  I’m requesting assistance with the bill attached. I’m truly working at getting my life on track after the things that plagued my family this year and pray for blessings and love for everyone.

Compassionate medical financial assistance

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am seeking for compassionate financial medical assistance. My son is diabetic and my husband who is the bread winner of the family is diagnosed with glaucoma and their health insurance coverage is exhausted in April, 2022. It has been challenging for me to purchase my son’s insulin pen and strips, my husband’s eye medication, paying tuition fees for my daughter that is in college while taking care of my two other children’s needs. My problem is compounded by the fact that I am unemployed for 19 years and have to stay home to take care of my another son who has a condition known as AUTISM (impaired.)
Therefore, I am seeking for financial assistance which will enable me to fill my son’s and husband’s medical prescriptions also pay my daughter’s college tuition fees.
Thanks, in advance, for your consideration.

Help! Dogs kill me!

Help!

I have exhausted all avenues for care here in Alaska  I am trying to raise money so I can go to the Cleveland Clinic. Once I am seen there hopefully they will have some doctors or treatments. October of 2016 my life changed for what looks like forever now. I was at work at a High School in the special education department as a teaching assistant, in my last year to get my master’s degree in special education for kids that have behavioral problems. I was happy pursing my dream. Then that day happened. I had never felt this feeling. I had pressure in my chest, shaking, almost gasping. Then it started to feel like I was being choked out and I could not see because of the tunnel vision. I collapsed. I had iust had my first anaphylactic reaction. While there are so many layers and incidents that have happened since the first time, I will keep this short and if you would ever like to hear the whole story. I am open. It is a doozy: it leaves every person I have ever told flabbergasted

Back to 2016. The only difference that happened that day was someone brought in a dog and all her puppies. I had a slight allergy I thought. I was injected with epi and swept away via EMS to hospital, not just once but three times. This is the golden ticket to an ICU stay. Anything over three epinephrine is an ICU stay. This happened two more times and then 1 had to quit my job for safety reasons. I have had reactions at every workplace since. You are still a little bit confused, what caused the anaphylaxis. Dogs.

Does caused it. I am allergic to dogs, dander, fur, hair saliva. I do not have to be in the presence, just be on a person, in a small, enclosed space. Within minutes anaphylaxis and I am getting iniection after injection. I lose consciousness.

Since that day I have had thirteen anaplastic reactions. Yes, 13 ICU stays, 12 EMS rides, my last reaction it took seven epis to get four miles to the hospital. Now, these are situations before EMS and hospital arrival. So, who is injecting me and giving me air? My husband, and my two teenage children. They are first to react and have saved my life so many times.

The past five years have been brutal. Doctors throughout diagnosis and medication because they have no idea. I am passed from provider to provider. Over 150 medication changes, at least twenty doctors Then my last hope on this one provider, called me at 9:30PM in April of 2021. She found something! I have what is called Selective Immunoglobin M and G with all subclasses, it is extremely rare. My body is in a full-on revolt against itself. On top of SIGM, I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Ehlers Danlos, Celiac disease, severe fibromyalgia, along with others. I have good days and bad days. I have flair ups often and am having to take medication that makes it impossible sometimes to even get out of bed for days. This includes food sensitivities, one day I will have an allergic reaction to certain foods mangos, apple, meat) and a week or so later I am fine to consume. The only constant is canines. Certain breads are worse than others

In March of 2021 I was in a car accident. I went to the ER twice; I was given a chest Xray the first time and an ultrasound the second (to which the DR wrote the results of my US as a CT and I had to argue with my PC that I had not had a CT. The attending ER nurse told me I did this to myself; I am a junkie). Finally, after two months a CT was done, I had a dual spinal fracture on my L5-S1 and a 3mm slipped disc. I needed surgery quickly. I had surgery with OPA in June. I have a hiatal hernia now and my liver is enlarged still and above my diaphragm. It still is almost unbearable.

One year ago, I began Immunoglobin Infusion Therapy ($15,000). One time a month I go into Anchorage and get my infusion. I am there for three hours. This last month the DR added another medication (Xolair $34,000) and it is injected to my belly, and I am there for two hours. The cost of these medication is obscene, and I need them every month for the rest of my life if it works. On top of the dailv medication. I must take. All treatments, visits, and medications are in the hundreds of thousands, and this is just my medication care, my children and hubs need care as well

Since 2016 when this journey has begun, we have been on a financial roller coaster. I am unable to work and still waiting on Social Security (been over a year) and that really made us take a huge hit financially We took out a $40.000 escrow loans for medical visits and treatments. We have maxed out all credit cards $25,000, $8,000, $500, $6000, $1000. We even have had to apply for more cards just to pay for services or they will not see me. The medical care prices in Alaska make it impossible to get ahead because once you get sick then you are pulled under for your debt and they do not work with you.

Matsu Regional put a lien on my home for medical bills. On top of those bills we have our normal bills; house, utility, gas, food, phones ect..

In addition to all this we have been granted custody of my teenage niece  she fled her home for safely  from illicit substances. She will be with us until she is an adult

Please help. My family is begging for help. We need the patience and understanding from a business that understands when patients are sinking but need care. We are trying so hard to pay everything, but we cannot.

Thank you for your time. Please consider my family for financial hardship.

Need To Get My Rx

I lost my health insurance this month and I screwed up my application for the marketplace insurance so my new one doesn’t kick in until next month. I know it’s my fault but I really, really need my prescriptions and I have a lot of them. My night table looks like a pharmacy most of the time. I need like $800, and any help would be incredibly appreciated. I hate doing this, but mental health is important and health insurance sucks.

Thank you so much.

I need my smile!

Good Morning! I’ve never asked for help before, so I’m not sure how to. I’ve decided to just tell my story as I’ve lived it. I am 50 years old with 2 grown sons, my husband is medically retired from the Army. My husband and I have been married for nearly 20 years, and have just recently moved to North Carolina. In October of 2020, we had a house fire. We were renting at the time and didn’t have insurance, so when we moved to our new home, we started with nothing. It has been a long journey to date….

In 1996 I had an abscessed tooth that needed to be removed… The dentist that I went to didn’t completely numb my mouth and pulled the tooth anyway. The pain was immense and lasted almost a week, I lived on cat naps and protein shakes. Since then, I have a fear of all dentists that I cannot get past.

In 2009, I took my 2 boys to New Mexico for some “fun in the sun”, that day caused 2nd degree burns over 2/3 of my body. I was ill with sun poisoning for nearly 3 weeks. About 8 months later, in 2010, I was diagnosed with Lupus (SLE). According to my physician at the time, it was the severity of the sunburn that triggered my Lupus.

Later in 2009, I had 8 teeth pulled while my husband was still in the military. Thankfully, because I was also on his insurance at that time, they were able to put me completely under and surgically remove those teeth (which is covered by TriCare), and provide me with medication for pain.

It’s hard to know what questions to ask when one is given so much information all at once, so I never thought to ask how the constant vomiting would affect me. (3-4 times a day, since 2009-10, for as long as my flares last (up to a month at a time). I am learning now, that it has caused devastating and non-reversible decay in my teeth and gums.

In 2012 my husband medically retired from the Army with a brain tumor (oligodendro glyoma of the right parietal, very rare) and I put my own care to the side and have been taking care of him since then. Because of the nature of his discharge, I am not included at 100% on his retired medical insurance. If you know anything about the cost of medical treatment, you can understand the strain this has put on us financially, and for myself, psychologically, as I feel I can’t spend on medical for myself when other needs need to be met.

In 2018 Lupus and a few other morbidity factors caused my doctors to recommend gastric bypass for me in order to lessen the number of medications I was taking. Due to this, my body is not as capable of absorbing calcium and Vitamin D, which has made the condition of my teeth even worse.

Since moving here, I have experienced 3 Lupus flares, one that had a horrible affect on my gallbladder, which I had to have removed in March of this year.

The medical bills just kept adding up and I was unable to see a doctor for several months, when I did she (very wisely) told me that I needed to take better care of myself if I intended to continue caring for others. With Lupus, I am exhausted all of the time, but add to that the constant debilitating pain from my teeth and the resulting headaches, I can no longer keep doing things the way I always have.

Having not worked, except to care for my husband, I do not qualify for any loan, I have tried extensively. I don’t know what else I can do but to ask for help in any way I can. paypal.me/fixingme

I’ve been told multiple times that it is going to cost anywhere from $9,000 – $20,000 to repair my teeth, gums and reset my jaw, which has shifted causing a severe overbite. This has caused relentless depression for many years. I am so very close to giving up hope, so here I am, in a position that I never in a million years could have seen myself in. Asking for help. paypal.me/fixingme

Please understand that I am not bragging or condemning anyone that I have given my time to, however, I have put those I care about in my life first for as long as I can remember. I plan to continue doing so for as long as I am able, I just need help repairing myself so that I can.

I sincerely thank you for your time, I know that it is precious to us all!

Help single mother cover rising medical expenses

Hello everyone, and thank you in advance for taking the time and energy to read this. My name is Sara and I’m raising funds for my dear cousin and closest friend Maria Godinez, who is currently in the hospital battling for her life in ICU. Maria is a single mother who is going through a very traumatic time not only for herself but also for her 4 children, she could use support and prayers from anyone able and willing.
On March 3rd, 2021 Maria was involved in a near-fatal car accident, her vehicle was t-boned by another driver while on her way home from work. Her broken clavicle, arm and orbital bone have since healed but the significant damage to her spinal cord and surrounding nerves has lingered now for the better part of a year going on two and has progressively worsened. Pain from the spinal injuries is so severe that it causes temporary loss of motor and sensory function in her lower body for weeks at a time. Multiple nerve block procedures and a Vertebral Augmentation surgery have had a minimal effect. The pain experienced can become so uncontrollable that it’s caused her multiple seizures and intubation, without having a history of epilepsy. Maria amid a global pandemic was in and out of the hospital for the remainder of 2021 following the accident and has been hospitalized as an inpatient for most of 2022 with her family and kids unable to frequent due to covid restrictions. Unable to work and having no source of income she shared fears of losing her home that she has worked so hard for because she cannot pay the mortgage. That recently evolved into a family’s fear of losing her on Dec. 15th, 2022, a pain-caused seizure led to a sudden cardiac arrest. The heart attack resulted in her being in ICU where Doctors had to perform life-saving measures. Recommended emergency heart surgery to try and prevent future heart problems has now been scheduled, with future spinal surgeries down the road to focus on the root of these medical issues. She currently has no health insurance and medical costs continue to add up, our family is helping in any way we can. We’re currently working with a social worker to try to get her on Medi-Cal CA with some form of retroactive coverage but there is a good chance she will have to pay out-of-pocket for her medical expenses up to this point. Her children are still fairly young and most are still in school they can’t offer much financial assistance. I and other family members are doing what we can to aid financially but we can only offer so much with limited resources. As of now, she’s looking at medical costs totaling upwards of $200,000 for all the surgeries had, including hospitalization and ICU visits. What that doesn’t include are the pending heart and future spinal surgeries. Not to mention the additional follow-up visits post-surgery and outpatient physical therapy required to regain her strength and mobility. Our entire family as a whole has had to endure one nightmarish year, earlier this May, Maria’s mother and my aunt passed away and she was unable to attend funeral services due to her health condition. Two days after her mother passed, Maria’s brother-in-law passed away after years of battling cancer. Mourning a family member is never easy but losing two in three days took a toll on our entire family in more ways than one. With her children’s consent and permission, I’ve created this fundraiser to help alleviate some of the financial pressure and stress of the increasing medical bills this family now faces. A long road towards recovery awaits her and that alone is a tall order, she doesn’t deserve to also have to worry about potentially losing her and her children’s home. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards her continuously growing medical expenses including saving her home and supporting her children while she recovers.

Any little bit helps, and all are appreciated beyond words. Thank you to everyone for your continued love and support.

Happy holidays, God bless.

Medical Bills, Car Bills OH MY!

Family! Can’t quite get there! HELP!
We are a family of 5 with three children. My husband was laid off from work for two years and during that time we accrued a lot of debt. He would work side jobs, but it just was not enough. With three children I bartended at night and would get 3-4 hours of sleep maybe and take care of the kids during the day. My husband got a new job but that put him on the road and unable to help with taking care of the kids. We could not afford daycare at this point and were unable to find someone to watch the kids while I worked late nights.
We had to sell our home and move in with my parents. We have been desperately trying to get our finances in order. My parents are small time farmers and have very little income coming in. This has been very trying on our marriage and family as we are now raising the kids with how my parents feel it should be and what we need to do when we get home from work on the farm. We help so much that a lot of times I don’t get to spend time with my children.
My husband and I both have full time jobs and are trying everything to get our debt paid off and buy our own home again. We just seem to take three steps forward and four back.
Our oldest broke her arm twice this year and needed to see a specialist because the bone shifted. We have had more medical and travel expenses along with this.
Our middle child was diagnosed with a muscle issue that was causing her feet to feel like they were broken. After boots and custom Orthotics this became another financial burden for us.
I needed to have surgery on a hernia and was out of work for 3 weeks because of internal Sepsis that they were unable to get control of right away.
My children came down with Influenza A and I have used all my vacation up. My mother and sister ended up in the ICU with COVID for 3 weeks, so I took care of both of them.
Finally, our vehicle broke down with timing chain issues and power steering issues, we can’t afford the almost $9000 to fix it, but we need two vehicles because my husband works on the road.
We would appreciate any help that we could get. We love our family and extended family. We just can’t seem to get anywhere!

Please consider helping us.

Thank you and God Bless.

Medical Emergency

Hello, I’m a 19 year old female who is suffering with many problems. I have been through so much since a very young age and ever since then I’ve been coping with it all by myself. I’ll keep it as short as I can…

From a young age I have been facing problems such as bullying, getting harassed both verbally and physically and have been sexually abused. Alongside this I have had many family problems and problems in school too. I never spoke of this to anyone until the age of 15/16 where I tried to commit suicide and even then I didn’t get much help. I didn’t speak to anyone after and just kept it all within me….
Going forward to 2020, I have lost both my Grandma (who has brought me up as well as my parents) and my brother (who I was really close too). Both died months apart my Grandma in hospital who I wasn’t able to say goodbye too and my brother passed away right next to me. I have been traumatised ever since and it still makes me cry to the point where I can’t even breath….
I have only had education up to my GCSE’s and couldn’t study ahead… I started working when I was 18 and just recently I have been off from work due to my bad health both mentally and physically. I have depression and anxiety which seems to be worsening over time, and makes me want to end myself at some points…
I have Tmj (Temporomandibular joint dysfunction) and severe orthodontic problems this is also a cause of my migraines. I also have very low iron and vitamins which causes weakness and passing out sometimes (I do take medication). I also have very bad back pains and Knee problems (Genu valgum) and is leading to my arthritis, I can’t even walk without pain or having to stop as my hip gets dislocated sometimes which is really painful. This has all been getting worse over time and has made my depression get worse. I have tried to get medical help, and have been getting referred here and there from age 16 and was told to wait for 2 years for my surgeries on the NHS but won’t be free if the waiting time goes past my 18th, and I did wait but as of COVID the waiting time had been extended and delayed. I had to then go back and get referred again but as of the long waiting list i have to wait another couple of years. Now I am 19 and suffering with my problems getting worse and worse, with this all going on I have not been able to find another job.

I have now started this page for my surgeries which I now need to get done privately I am in such a difficult and stressful situation, getting no help at all neither from family or friends. I need to get the surgeries done urgently as day by day it’s getting really difficult for me, and is making my life hard and tough taking my youth away from me. I’m in need of urgent help right now hence why I have made this page, I hope you all understand my situation and the difficulties I am going through, my depression is getting worse and the stress of trying to work out how I can do this is making me want to end my life, but I stop myself trying to find a way, or giving myself this hope that I can achieve this and not to let go that easily… please i have only a week left until i can get the surgeries.
PLEASE HELP ME AS I AM REALLY AT MY LAST STAGE!!!

Wife with late end liver disease and unable to make ends meet. We are in desperate need of financial relief 🙏❤️

To whoever charitable/philanthropist kind stranger who may be reading this,

 

*Breakdown of our financial needs at the bottom*

 

My name is Caleb and I’m 33 yrs old, my wife T (for anonymous purposes) is in her early 40’s. We moved across the country over 3 years ago to start a new life in this southern state. The timing of the move was around the time covid begun to break out, which was a very unfortunate time to start a new journey. We made the decision to move due to my wife’s medical needs, thinking that this state would fulfill those needs with better medical care. To explain more of our situation, T for diagnosed with stage 3 liver disease prior to the move and hospital visits and doctors offices were weekly routines at the time. From the move to today, her has has declined, to where her disease has progressed further, leading to more complications, more medicine, and more doctors visits. The only end goal doctors have for her is getting a transplant, along with a procedure called TIPS, and of course being mindful of the foods she eats and the things she drinks, along with keeping her on her medications. This will all help her prolong the disease until we can hopefully get her a new liver. One thing preventing her and us from getting closer to this goal, all goes back to financial needs. We are currently awaiting disability along with federal Medicare programs to help ease the burden of the healthcare system in this state and the nation as a whole. In the last 3 years, I’ve had various different jobs, nothing that will be anywhere close to covering the medical debt we already have, but I’ve been able to support our needs for the majority of our time here. I recently got a new job in a procession that I really love, and I’m going to turn this job into a career one day. Until that point, I’m still an apprentice, making not the best of money. In the end of 2022 all of the financial stress and lack of money has caught up with us and the bills are falling behind, and the mail is coming in. The amount of stress of it all is unbearable at times, and I as a supportive husband need to assure T that everything is all good because her body cannot take anymore stress than she already has because she physically cannot handle it. Out of  pure desperation and googling, I stumbled across this site thinking I should give it a shot, hoping that someone with the ability and heart, would give us both a hand. Due to our financial circumstances and not having insurance, T has had to miss some doctors appointments and has had to stretch out medicine longer than she should. To add to it all, we both tested positive for covid yesterday. Ain’t it strange how when you think things can’t be any worse, it does. Lol 😅 As we await her medicare, being free of this financial grave would do amazing things for our lives and give her and us hope for a brighter future. Down below is where we currently stand as far as debts, late bills, etc.

  • Rent late including fees (before December 3rd)- app. $1,300
  • Dec. Rent (was due the 3rd)- 1,050 +$10 a day capped at $200 extra in fees
  • Utilities w/late fees (trash, water, electric all together)– $330
  • To fix vehicle (our only vehicle needs a new starter, and relays) – app. $300 new, or can find online for $150 range
  • Medication- cost app. $200 a month with good ex and generic 
  • Upfront doctor visit cost just to see doctor- $35 for non specialist, $50 for specialist (GI, liver doctor)
  • food-$250-$300 a month is what we are trying to budget, need to balance out healthy foods for health

Medical debt for her is in the 100k range, we are applying for any grants available to help clear some of this debt, as we await her medicare.

All together to get us caught up with our necessities we need around $4,000.

The income from my job after taxes is about $2400 a month.

I don’t know how this site works and if you can’t contact me directly if you have any questions or anything.

Medical bill

Hi all,

Before my son turned one, I found a job at a company I loved that was flexible enough to accommodate the demands of parenthood: “Daycare called to say your son threw up? No problem- go and get him.” I worked hard, earning several promotions over the 6 years I’ve been employed with this company. For the first time, I’d made it to the middle class! But it wasn’t the relief I was hoping for.

I make enough that I don’t qualify for government assistance anymore. However, my income hasn’t been enough to cover all of my expenses. Daycare costs were more than my rent. Healthcare costs are overwhelming. I had good credit and a decent income and wound up in a debt cycle to make ends meet. At my peak income, I was finally making enough to make ends meet and even save money and have spending money from time to time– if it weren’t for all the debt I was paying off. I was at least at a level where I didn’t have to continue taking on debt, but the debt payments are a significant part of my income and don’t leave me wiggle room for savings and emergencies.

2022 has been full of challenges. One of my tires had a blowout, and I had to replace all 4, costing a little more than my savings. Dipping into my regular account started a cycle of being behind. Overdraft fees, late fees, etc. make it difficult to recover on a very tight budget. Not too long after replacing my tires, I got a rough case of strep throat and missed a lot of hours at work. This combination of events crushed me financially.

I know something has to give. I made a decision. I stepped down from my position at work. I still work at the company, part-time. I’m now in college full-time, learning computer science/data analytics. I love this type of work, my current job dabbles in these categories. This can also lead to higher-paying, flexible, remote jobs that I need.

My income is still okay- my generous boss did not reduce my hourly wage, but the reduced hours reduced my income. Student loans are helping, but I’m still on a rice and beans budget.

I’m asking for help with some medical expenses, and possibly bills.

My most immediate, urgent expenses:

My son has cavities and needs fillings: $180.

I need an eye exam and glasses: $200

Any help is appreciated. If by chance, I receive more than these needs, money would go to a few different things:

I need some things for around the house and some clothing for my son (mainly kitchen supplies). I don’t have much room in my budget for spending aside from necessities.

Payments toward my $40,000 debt.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Donations can be made to:

Doctors don’t know what’s wrong, and my life is in tatters

Compare 2 years symptoms before and after.JPG

Hi there, I’m Rachel.

Don’t get me wrong.  Compared to other people around the world, I am fortunate.  I am lucky to still have family around me, but things have got inexplicably tough this past year, and for no obvious reason.   I’ve gone from the left-hand side person- a happy person, who hiked miles every day, worked full-time in the performing arts, and was (before the pandemic hit) applying to teach in Japan and hopefully volunteer with a refugee charity, to the desperate, right-hand person, who has to sit with frozen cans on her head just to calm the pain!  Now, it’s a miracle if I can get through the days without crippling pain.  I rely entirely now on family, and honestly don’t know what I would do without them.

I won’t lie… some days, I can handle the pain itself.  But what I can’t handle, what keeps me awake at night, is still not knowing what’s wrong with me.  Last August, seemingly out of nowhere, I suddenly got a searing pain in my spine and right side.  Since then, my entire torso has progressively become painfully rigid, often waking me in the night with excruciating spasms.  I have had a chronic, unilateral headache since February, recurrent full body paraesthesia, eye inflammation, amongst other recurrent and seemingly inexplicable symptoms.    I’ve blown through so many vital savings, having to seek private consultants, and so far, all my tests have come back negative/clear.  But I can’t give up.  This cannot have come out of nowhere, and I want my life back.  And if I can’t have it back, I want to be able to at least name the monster that has stolen it from me.

Any money raised from this will go directly into trying to help me afford further tests and hopefully, treatment.  Anything you feel able to afford would honestly be HUGE right now.  Thank you so much.

Hope for Lipedema

The quick synopsis:
I am vibrant, youthful, fun, nurturing, creative and only recently found out why I’ve had debilitating pain in my body for the past 14 years: Lipedema. I’m eternally optimistic and believe we can heal from anything which is why, despite every medical professional in the area telling me there is no cure, I found a doctor 3,000 miles away that knows how to reverse this incapacitating condition.

I also look forward to sharing, as a living example, that there is a cure for Lipedema. Doctors who told me I’d never be cured, and other patients suffering with this ailment, do not need to feel hopeless.

I’m asking for a total of $110k to help cover the cost of these 3 procedures, which my insurance has declined to pay for. And what I want you to know is that by helping me, you’re helping others. I am committed to dedicating my pain free life to giving back – to my family, to my community and to those in need. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

The longer version:
I only recently found out why I’ve had debilitating pain in my body for the past 14 years: Stage 2 Lipedema (see photo below).

Even though multiple Lipedema ‘expert’ MD’s in Manhattan say there is no cure, I wouldn’t accept that answer. I’m eternally optimistic and believe we can heal from anything.

I FOUND A HIDDEN GEM OF A DOCTOR WHO HAS BEEN QUIETLY HEALING LIPEDEMA FOR 25+ YEARS!!!

His name is Dr. David Amron and after 2 procedures this year (April & August) I’m almost pain free in my legs and arms for the first time in 14 years.

But I’m deeply in debt from these 1st two procedures and need $110,000 to cover these 2 procedures as well as the final procedure (my insurance company will cover nothing).

To put this in perspective, my body has ached for 14+ years after any type of exercise (including hikes, power walks or gentle squats or weightlifting). I’ve shied away from living an active lifestyle because of the pain, even though I’ve done everything in my power to live a healthy life.

For example, to eliminate inflammation I’ve cut out gluten, dairy & sugar and I even follow intermittent fasting which allows my body to heal at a rapid rate. But my hips & torso down to my ankles (plus arms) have kept spreading in girth with multiplying diseased fat cells & inflammation, my lymph is blocked from the fat cells, fibrosis & nodules… and the pain has kept growing.

Not only that, but issues like arthritis in my SI joint and slight arthritis in my knees have been unable to heal because of all the fibrosis and lipedema issues. Now there’s a chance for my knees to get much better thanks to the 2nd leg procedure from Dr. Amron.

Remaining are my torso and hips, which are spreading and aching from the multiplying diseased fat cells. This is the reason for the final procedure #3. Once procedure #3 is completed, I’ll have a better chance of healing the sciatica and SI joint issues because the congestion from diseased tissues will be removed.

Dr. Amron performed the first procedure for me in late April (calves, ankles and arms). The swelling and pain are gone. And in August he performed the procedure for my knees & thighs… and finally, once I’ve paid off the first 2 procedures and have money for the 3rd one, he will be able to do my torso and hips.

It’s difficult for most people to ask strangers for money, but my thought is that I’ve found a solution with Dr. Amron that will help me be able to continue living an even healthier more vibrant life after I’m able to get the full 3 procedures with him. And as my health, mobility and vitality increase, I’ll be able to give back to society.

I also look forward to sharing that there is, indeed, a cure for this little known or understood condition. My story can give hope and healing to many others.  Looking at Dr. Amron’s website and instagram page show his dedication to helping those with lipedema to heal.

One of my favorite everyday ways to ‘give back’ is to help the people around me (cleaning lady who barely knows English and works hard to raise her two children after leaving her alcoholic husband, the handyman who works with a smile but I can see he’s in a great deal of pain, my nephew’s 70 year old nanny who has very little but gives anything she can to those around her in need…).

I have an empathetic gift of being able to sense the pain of others (both emotional and physical). I have so much to offer and care deeply for those around me.

Completing these surgeries with Dr. Amron will allow me to thrive and be the best human I can be on this planet.

I work in my personal life as a holistic healer and energy medicine practitioner. I also sell Medicare Supplement plans to seniors and the disabled. So I am paying for as much as possible on my own, and the inclusive cost is over $100,000:

Surgery fees are $89,500 + air travel, hotel and manual lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) twice a week for 6 weeks – after all 3 surgeries! So it’s 18 weeks of 2 MLDs – at $300/each totaling $10,800).

I’ve already seen how much better I can be and feel with the 1st two surgeries. Please help me pay off those first 2 surgeries and get the final procedure.

It won’t be possible for me to get that final 3rd surgery until my first 2 are paid in full.

I am asking for a total of $110,000 to help me fully heal from Stage 2 Lipedema, as the insurance premiums I paid thousands of dollars for will not cover these lipedema surgeries.

I guarantee this will help many more than just me because I am a nurturer by nature.

I’m looking forward to how much more I can accomplish and become without this daily pain; including raising awareness with Lipedema Doctors & Patients that there is, indeed, a cure.

Much gratitude to those who are inspired to help after reading my story. Thank you.

$110,000 total requested

  • $89,500 for all 3 surgical procedures
  • $10,800 for MLF (manual lymphatic drainage twice weekly for 18 weeks)
  • $10,500 ($3500 each surgery for travel from NY to CA, taxis & hotel)
  • $5,000 (pre-op labs and procedures for all 3 surgeries)

Medical Surgery loan repayment

WhatsApp Image 2022-10-25 at 12.33.31.jpeg

I never needed to do this and never imagined I’ll go throw this.

but everything is blocked my way I don’t know what to do,

it is the only way I can raise and stay with my family and my little girl

under one roof.

I need some assistance with repaying the loan I took to cover my medical surgery debts; it’s getting to be too much for me right now, especially with the medication I must continue to have every month for the rest of my life due to the heart surgery I had

 

I tried to work extra hours following the accident just trying to cover the loan, but my health was not helping me to work the extra hours.

Currently, I barely make my Family’s basic needs .

still didn’t mention the bills. /water/gas

I’m in utter need.

my debt of approximately £12,000 may not seem like much to some, but I am quickly running out of money, and it’s approaching the point where I have to declare bankruptcy.

I’ve almost sold everything, including my living room furniture, except the tv and a sofa… for now.

 

Is currently in the sights of debt collectors, as is anything I own that could be profitable to them.

I’m starting to lose hope,

I’m not coping well mentally, but I’m doing my best to find a bright side or ray of hope.

It’s really difficult right now, and I’ve never asked for help with anything in my life, but I don’t know what else to do but keep trying and praying.

I really know that others need far more assistance than I do at the moment, and many others are living in poverty, but I need some help.

And things have never been this way before.

I’m in a bind and don’t want to ask for money like this.

but, I’m at a loss for words.

I don’t have the emotional capacity to accept ongoing financial support from my parents.

My main objective is to relieve my family of the responsibility of helping me pay off my loan they are everything to me and have done so much for me.

Accepting the money that hardly gained from them feels awful, and I don’t want to add to their stress I feel like I’m just adding to that with my debt, which makes me feel terrible.

I’m sorry; I despise literally begging.

If you read this and decide to help, I thank you more than you can imagine and will be eternally grateful.

In any case, I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to read this.

Warmest regards,

No Way Out

Shall we start with the TL;DR version?
TL:DR- Got foreclosed after the COVID umbrella; have been fighting my way uphill since. And everything has been pushing me back, been living in cheap hotels to try to save and get ahead, but have no way to catch up; let alone save.

 

And now for the nitty gritty~

Prior to COVID the warehouse I had been working for got an out of state tax break and shut down to move it’s location. So I ended up landing a part-time retail job to bring in enough to pay some bills. I would fluctuate from part time to full time hours, at the then minimum wage in MA. Shortly after starting the job in October, we entered the pandemic and hours started dropping. Then in March we faced the shut down.

Due to the situation of having lost my job prior to the shutdown I had a ‘recent’ unemployment claim which caused endless hassles when submitting a new claim. I was stuck during the pandemic for the entity of the lockdown unable to claim any payment because of red tape and run arounds. During this we were relying on my father and grandmother’s income alone.

Well prior to the shut down in Feb of 2020 my grandmother ended up hospitalized, so on top of dealing with the looming hammer of homelessness I had to figure out her expenses for her housing unit and medical bills. So now I am budgeting two houses and moving expenses. She remained hospitalized until the lockdown started letting up in May, after a series of medication mix ups. They kept changing the medications, and she is still to this day suffering the after effects and I am still taking her to endless doctors to figure out the cause of her decline. At the end of October 2022 she was formally diagnosed with Dementia, and they are doing more tests to see if the series of seizures she suffered during her second hospitalization in 2021 due to medical negligence had a hand in it. So more medical expenses.

Currently on the most stable hotel after being ousted in 2020, my father and I have been moving between hotels leaving our belongings in storage, friend’s possession and even my grandmother’s housing unit. We’ve even stayed there in her living room for the allotted two week visitation a few times.

My father is visually impaired, my grandmother is unable to drive and my anxiety has barred me from getting my license. So transportation, phone, storage, hotel, medical expenses and other utilities. The list of medical bills keeps growing despite my best efforts to keep them, the cheapest hotel rate just bumped up, to no surprise the prices of everything is going up.

My family has always had trouble asking for help, but I somehow found my way here… after being out of work this year with COVID I completely lost what little buffer I had trying to catch up with IOUs and bills before I lose my hotel, my storage and my grandmothers medications do to high dues.

 

If you have a little extra we would appreciate it greatly; Every little bit helps… Currently I’ve fallen behind over 4k in bills and IOUS, not including the ambulance bills of almost 9k… Currently for the hotel I have to come up with another 300 in 2 nights or risk being asked to leave with no where to go again….20210802_112904.jpg
