Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to read this request.

My name is Chelsea and I am a 26 year-old woman who has fallen on hard times as I am sure most of you can relate to one way or another. I have no family help and am looking into a change in career.

I haven’t live the easiest life but always seem to see the positive parts of even the most devastating experiences. I would consider myself a generally happy gal, my friends call me Sunshine, after all.

Despite my positivity and personal growth, sometimes life has other plans.

This year I was diagnosed with a rare disease called Narcolepsy with Cataplexy.

For those who don’t know what that is, a brief description is below:

 

Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that causes persistent sleepiness and additional symptoms such as brief episodes of muscle weakness known as cataplexy, vivid, dreamlike hallucinations, brief episodes of paralysis when falling asleep or upon awakening (sleep paralysis), and fragmented nighttime sleep.

 

Upon diagnosis, I felt scared, unsure, and didn’t know how to control many things in my life – resulting in low self-esteem, schedule shifts in work, relationships, friendships, and family life.

I wouldn’t wish this disease on my worst enemy to be honest.

 

My goals in life seemed unattainable.

I made a change in my life and began meditation, self-care, and reading more and more about how to overcome that with which we cannot control and taking control of what you can in order to change your life.

This has not been easy but I am growing every day.

That being said, Medical bills are expensive and work has not be booming so I am in considerable debt.

My goals are to get into clinical trials and to start my own nonprofit.

Those sound great but I have to pay rent first.

Anyone who has been through, well, anything less than forward moving, can understand what it is to get the help you need to push you over the humps of life.

I hope you’ve read this well and if you do decide to support me in this endeavor, know that it will never go unnoticed or unappreciated.

I am 22 years old, in my prime but cant get past something that I’ve struggled with since middle school. Body image.
I am 195 lbs, 5’5. I dont care much about the number on the scale. I just care about how I look and feel. I constantly feel uncomfortable. Everytime I get dressed everytime I leave the house. Even just laying in bed at night. Everyday, every hour it’s on my mind. My fat makes me feel so self conscious and uncomfortable. It’s not even about what people say. I feel this way, I dont like my body. I dont care if other people like my body or not.. but I dont like my body. I never have.. I just want to feel comfortable in my body. I want to not hate every inch of my body. I want to love and appreciate my body. And no matter how hard I try to mentally get over this I cant.. i always come back to wishing i was thinner. It is so mentally torturing to constantly dislike your body on a daily basis. Some days I dont even want to leave bed. I just want to hide… and I’ve dealt with this since middle school. It’s hard and it doesn’t get any easier. If anything I feel more pressure now because I wont be 20 forever and I want to be happy in my body at least once.. I constantly watch people online get laser lipo and finally get the body and confidence they’ve always wanted.. and I dream for that as well. I want to get that confidence. I want to not worry about my body image every 10 mins. I want to shop without crying. I just really really need a blessing in order for this to happen… I will be hoping and praying about this constantly. I pray that someone understands… I feel I’m alone on this. I have tried everything under the sun to fix this but nothing has helped. The only thing that ever helped is when I water fastes for 25 days… which I know is something I cant do forever.. I just want to feel comfortable in my body. I hope someone understands ❤ thanks for reading

Hello all,

I am a mother of 2 girls. I am currently a nursing student finishing up my last semester hoping to graduate in December 2018. My youngest, 8-years-old, was born with a right pulmonary atresia congenital heart defect. As of today, there is an outstanding balance of $3358.41, which I’m not able to pay in full or anywhere near my budget.

She has undergone 4 surgeries. All of which were extremely successful. She usually follows up with her cardiologist every 6 months. Recently we were denied in seeing her physician due to an “unpaid” balance from December 2017. At that time she didn’t have a primary insurance coverage, I was sure insurance didn’t kick in until January 2018, just like everyone does. When scheduled to see her doctor on December 2, 2017, her only insurance was Medicaid, that I was aware. Here we are in the office, drove a hour to get here, took the children out of school, then told she was not able to be seen because of an unpaid balance. My daughter has been under her care since she was in the womb. Never had any issues. Turns out, that my health insurance started 12/01/2017, and Medicaid denied the claim. No calls were made, no notices were mailed, therefore it was too late to refile. Shocking news, we were told SHE CAN NOT BE SEEN! As a parent, I do not want to change hospitals and doctors because her TEAM as been at this facility since I was 7 months pregnant with her.

Please I am begging you for help, please help me help her and allow her to live her best life. This donation will help to pay off the bill so she can continue her normal care plan to avoid any mishaps or threat to her condition.

I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you so much.

Hello,

I was diagnosed with  Stage 2 breast cancer not even a month after turning 40 and boy did my confidence take a hit. My breast cancer is hereditary…my mother lost her battle to Stage 4 five days after her 50th birthday. She turned 50 in the ICU so I always made sure to keep up with mammograms and monthly self exams. I discovered a knot in my right breast in September and immediately notified my Gynecologist. I then put off the care of myself due to working and taking care of everyone else. I was not diagnosed until June due to my own negligence. I am now going through Reconstruction, and dealing with depression. I feel like I am being born again similar to the phoenix rising from ashes. I have some medical debt and other financial debt as a result of not working since July. I am requesting any amount of assistance to help me pay down my medical debt ($6000) and other debt ($5000). I have had to make a lifestyle change. Healthier eating, hormone therapy, and physical fitness. This has added up to additional financial obligations and I work in an industry where I am underpaid (foster care system). I still have goals like becoming a first time homeowner. I am in the process of getting back up and walking my path.  If you are reading this, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Be blessed.

Today I am doing something I never imagined I would be doing. I’m asking for help. For hope. For kindness. Today I’m asking complete strangers to help me where my family cannot. I’m asking you to help me keep my promise I made to my Grandfather 2 years ago which was to take care of my Grandmother. I come from a very unstable family. I have never met my father and my mother was a drug addict. I was blessed to be raised by my two grandparents who were separated but always came together to make sure my siblings and I were taken care of. Money was always a struggle for them after raising three kids of their own and then taking in four grandchildren to raise. They always put us first. My Grandfather passed away when I was 16. He was my best friend. He taught me so much about love and about life. Because of him I know that love is greater than anything. Real love can make the coldest heart warm. Real love is when you would give up everything for another person and that’s the love I have for my Grandmother. She is not doing well and needs to be taken care of. My two older brothers live 3 hours away and my sister lives 2 hours away. I am the only one here that can take care of her. The only thing is that all of it adds up and cost money. Medicines, doctors appointments, at home care, all of it. I’m only 18 and I work so much trying to take care of her and put myself through school. School is expensive. Books are expensive. Access codes are expensive. It’s hard, it’s been hard. My brothers and sister help when they can but it’s hard for them my sister is a single parent and doesn’t have much left at the end of every month to help and my brothers give a little every month but it still isn’t enough. I know I’m young and it sucks having all this responsibility but I feel like the least I can do is take care of the woman who gave up so much to raise me and take care of me for the past 18 years. My grandmother is one of the most selfless, kindhearted, and most giving woman I have ever met. She represents everything that strength stands for. Some of you may read this and say it’s just like every other story you’ve heard and some of you may read this and understand the pain I feel watching the woman who has always been so strong and independent have to depend on help for everything. I just want to be able to be the one to help her but I cannot do that without you. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my story. I will be forever grateful for any amount you are able to give. 

Hi I’m Matt

I was driving home one night and swerved to miss a dog on the highway. Slid into the grass and hit the center guard rail at 75mph. I totaled my car, flipped it multiple times. got a broken ankle, separated shoulder, along with other minor injuries and my medical bills from the ER are outrageous. Every little thing comes up like doctor follow up visits, and side expenses associated with follow up care. I had no long-term disability at work and missed 2 months of work while I healed. The Ambulance charge and car insurance deductible alone are over 3,000. I totally made a mistake having my deductible so high. Im asking for help to get me out of this downward spiral of my credit cards being high and fees associated. Then I can fix the problems without being in a hole I can’t get out of. Im a hard worker and not lazy, but i couldn’t not do anything for months with a broken ankle at my physically demanding job. Thanks to all who listen!   paypal.me/mattgrassia

September 21 was just like any other day until my precious daughter Lacee came home from being at the fair for less than two hours . I immediately knew something was wrong because she was counting down the day’s until she could go hang out with her friends.

I asked her what had happened and she said that she just had a really bad headache and was nauseous so she just wanted to lay down.  That was about 4:30 pm.

I checked on her often before going to bed trying to get her to drink some water,  to no avail.

I finally got to bed around midnight and was woken up by Lacee about 2am  she had been vomiting . I went to the bathroom with her and held her hair.

As I sat trying to keep it together , buy I was terrified when I saw what looked like coffee grounds everytime she got sick.

As soon as she could get her robe and socks on I rushed her to St.Johns in Broken Arrow. They immediately knew she was bleeding internally but they didn’t have a clue what to do, so they transported her to OSU medical.

Once we got to OSU she was taken down for an Endoscopy. That was the longest few hours of my life.  Once she was in recovery the Dr came and took me to a conference room where he proceeded to tell me that Lacee has a very rare condition called Budd Chiari syndrome as well as Jax 2 blood mutation.

Dr James also informed us her main portal artery that runs from the liver to her spleen,  is full of blood clots. Her liver is almost non functional and she bas varcies from her esophagus throughout her entire stomach and most organs.

Since being diagnosed she has seen more Dr’s than I can count.

She’s had appointments with the Liver Specialist in Oklahoma city , but after looking at all her scans and Endoscopy photos he decided because her spleen was so large and pushing all her organs into her back causing her terrible pain.

But, I have to say, she never complains about anything.  All the poking prodding, bone marrow biopsy just everything really. She’s definitely an inspiration for me,  she’s scared of course, but she’s been so courageous I’m just in awe of her strength .

After about a month we found a Dr. At Integres Baptist Liver transplant.  I was finally able to breathe again until we got there that is.

Once we arrived we were told her health insurance wouldn’t cover her any longer because she was high risk.  They were still very much wanting to see her, but it would have cost 4000.00 that day.

I’m on disability due to an accident that broke my tail bone, shattered my sacrum and so on. There’s just no way possible for me to pay that amount.

Since then,  I have been down every single Avenue I can think of.

Please please please help me keep my daughter she’s so very young and has so much more to do.

I want to see her get married,  have babies all the endless dreams a Momma has for her child .

From the bottom of my heart to the top, thank you so much for your time.

Take care and God bless 🌷⚘❤💚❤💚🥀⚘🌷

 

 

My name is Dennis and I wanted to tell you a little about myself and my story. I am happily married to the most amazing woman who has been my rock and savior since we have been together. My wife suffers from a sleep disorder that borderlines narcolepsy and from having 2 failed back surgeries. I on the other hand have had 3 heart attacks at the young age of 46. The first one was when I was 32 and the second one 8 years later. The 3^rd one happened at the beginning of this year. My second heart attack caused me to have open heart surgery with 5 bypasses. Spent a couple weeks in the hospital then a few months at home before I could return to work. The 3^rd one wasn’t as bad and only spent 30 days at home. The surgeries that I received plus all the time missed from work has put my medical bills thru the roof. At the time I was managing everything ok until it got to where my wife could not work anymore. She has been turned down for disability twice now and with me being the only one working it is getting to be more than I can handle. We live paycheck to paycheck and even then sometimes it’s not enough. The house we are living in we have been renting for 6 years now and absolutely love it. We are currently 2 months behind on our rent. Because we have been there for as long as we have and never had a problem until now our landlord has been working with us as much as he can but is getting to the point of wanting some else in there so he can make his money. I really don’t blame him but it’s kind of got me and my wife in a hard situation. Getting all the medical bills paid off would be a long term solution while getting the rent caught up would be just a quick and temporary solution. We are desperately in need of help and don’t know which way to turn. Both of us have no family around anymore that’s willing to help even a little which breaks my heart. I would definitely help out any one if I was in a situation to do just that. Any help would be greatly appreciated and the both of us thank each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts.

We are family of 4. My husband and I have been together for 6 years and we have a 2 year old boy and a 4 year old girl. We have been doing good for the past 6 years. My husband had a good job and we bought our first house in December. He got a new job offer in May making more money but less overtime ( he used to work up to 80 hours a week). He decided to take this new job so he could have more time with his family. We knew it would be hard at first because he had to go a month without a paycheck. At the end of August I started having some severe stomach pain and decided to go to the emergency room that night. The pain ended up being kidney stones but they did a CT scan and a lump in my left breast was detected. I was urged by the emergency room staff to follow-up with my doctor. I made an appointment and he went ahead and done my yearly and sent me for a mammogram and ultrasound. My yearly came back abnormal and I had to have a cervical biopsy which came back with some cancer detected. I had a conization done October 1st and the results came back that it had not spread. My mammogram and ultrasound were worrisome so I was referred to a surgeon who decided to remove the entire lump on October 12th. I am awaiting those results now. We have had to come out of pocket nearly $4000 in the past couple weeks. All of this on top of already being behind from my husband switching jobs, has put us in a tough position. We are behind 1 payment on our home and 2 or 3 payments on most of our credit cards. I also have medical bills I still owe for and it is all just beginning to feel like a downward spiral. Any help we could get would be very much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.

Hi Donors,

The photo you are seeing is that of my mother, Jennifer. She was admitted to the hospital on August 17, 2018 for what doctors described as a left thalamic intracranial hemorrhage with intraventricular hemorrhage stroke. Fortunately for us, the medical staff was able to stop the bleeding in the brain but it took some time before the drain tube attached to her skull was removed. She was in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit for about a month before being transferred to another hospital specializing in inpatient long-term acute care.

As of today, she has been there for two weeks. She is currently in rehab trying to regain as much function in her body as possible. Currently, her right side of the body has very little movement and because of that, she has trouble sitting up. She cannot target the food with her spoon at times. Also, she is not able to speak since the bleeding as affected her speech abilities. The therapists recommended continuing physical rehab and speech therapy and at the rate she is progressing, it looks promising according to them. That said, we do not know what condition she will be in once they deem it necessary to stop the rehabilitation process.

In the meantime, we are awaiting supplemental security income benefits (SSI) and Medicaid to come through and were told it could take a while before benefits would aid us. My family cannot take her in at the moment because she needs around-the-clock care. After consulting with the social worker and therapist, the services rendered for continuing care and rehab will come to about $5,000 per month for the first 4-6 months. Once the hospital decides their work is complete, they would then discharge her to a nursing facility, which doesn’t offer rehab, and the costs would come to about $1000 per month for several months. We must pay these costs until SSI/Medicaid coverage kicks in. I estimate these costs to come to about $20,000-$35,000 ($20,000 if we wait just 4 months vs $36,000 if we wait the full 6 months followed by a transfer to a separate nursing facility for 6 months at $1000/month). Of course, the actual amount that would be paid to the hospital is unknown and this all depends on when we actually receive the medical benefits to assist us.

Taking into account our financial limitations (my family members are making enough to make ends meet; I work overseas and can manage to help the younger brother with utility bills and his car payment), we have come to the conclusion that we cannot afford these costs. Even though my family and I cannot afford such services, declining continuing rehab treatment is not an option for us. We want what’s best for our mother as she enters the later years of her life. We want her to have as much mobility as she can so she is able to move on her own free will. We want her to recover most, if not all, of her speech abilities so she is able to speak freely and say what’s on her mind. We would like to have our mother close to 100% as much as possible so she can live a close to normal life.

Thank you for reading my plea, donors. Anything at this point would be appreciated and I would be eternally grateful.

Regards from her son,

Tony Vu

Please help if you can!!

I have been struggling for about 4 years now with a progressive autoimmune disease of my connective tissues and bones. Which has caused horrible pain, and a lot of other problems. I am 35 and have held a good job for 15 years, but have now been off and on disability for the past few years. I have an 11 year old son who was diagnosed with temperal lobe epilepsy when he was 8. He is doing well now but between the medical bills for him and all my medical bills for lab tests MRI and CT scans as well as all the specialist visits and surgeries. It has been really hard to keep up with my rent and medical bills and living expenses. Especially because my disability does not pay much.

I was served with papers a few weeks ago with medical bills that had gone into collections and I know there are more to come. I have tried so hard to keep things together and be responsible but it’s just not enough latley.

I worry constantly about food, gas, clothing for my growing 11 yr old boy and I just can’t take it any more. I never ask for help I’m embarrassed to even be doing this. But I’m so tired, sick and stressed which is not helping the situation.

For a long time I kept hope that everything would work out. I would get better and I would be back at work permanently. But unfortunately I know this is not going to get better only worse.

I know I could budget a lot better and that is definitely my goal. I know i could have done a few things differently so i wouldn’t  have fallen on such hard times. No one thinks they are going to be suddenly unable to work to a chronic illness. I did have some back up for a while in savings but it’s been drained by rent, bills and other living expenses.

I just need a good amount of money a little help to get my financial situation back on track. Pay my medical bills and other past due bills I have been unable to pay due to my being unable to work.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

The May family ❤️

After my son died, I became very depressed and had a hard time functioning. I didn’t keep good track of my bills or expenses. In addition to medical bills and funeral expenses, I spent more money than I should have on convenience food and dining out because I didn’t have the energy to cook for my family. I took on more debt than I should have. Then when unexpected bills came up (dentist, car repair, flat tire, surgery for daughter, etc.), the only way to cover them was to take on more debt. Because my credit was now bad, high-interest loans and payday loans were my only available option.

I signed up with a debt settlement company, but they are unable to settle my high-interest loans because the companies will not work with them. My husband is unable to work so I now have more bills than I can afford to pay each month, and I don’t know what to do. I have $9,100 in high-interest loans that total $1,100 in minimum payments each month. I’m also paying $1,230 each month to debt settlement companies for the ones they are covering, $200 monthly car payment, along with living expenses (rent, utilities, gasoline, food). I struggle to pay these bills each month and can’t handle any extra expenses without taking on more debt.

I feel stupid, horrible, embarrassed, and guilty for getting into this situation. I’m under a lot of stress and feeling hopeless. I’m seeking help for the following two items.

1. $200 for new glasses for my daughter. She had eye surgery and needs to be fitted for new glassses after the surgery, but I don’t have money for the appointment or the glasses.
2. Paying down a high interest debt with a balance of $3,300. It has a 240% interest rate and  $580 minimum monthly payment. $540 of the monthly payment goes to interest.

I promise to pay it forward in the future when I am able. Thank you for considering.

  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 

I am a young woman and I have worked my whole life to be strong and independent. I have been estranged from my family since I was 18, due to unpunished abuse. Now, at 28, I have made something of myself, live below my means and even became a homeowner, however; late this summer, I had to be hospitalized for a pre-existing  medical condition and lost my employment for not properly notifying them in time. After 9 years with the company, I found myself lost. I have had no luck finding a similar job, even drove through Uber and Lyft 40+ hours/week and picked up odd jobs to supplement my income as I continued my search. Even applying for entry level positions/jobs. Unfortunately, as my medical bills and living costs continue to grow and pile up, I am falling drastically behind as I have used all of my savings now.

Asking for monetary help with out being able to earn it is a very humbling experience. I intend to continue to pay it forward, as soon as I can and as I have done so in the past. Being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and an independent female, I have always been a believer and supporter of all who just need a helping hand.

In conclusion, anything will help and I appreciate your time and generosity. I am currently struggling to pay over $10,000 in overdue debt with a negative bank account. I do not want to lose everything I worked so hard to achieve, it may not be much, but I did it on my own. Thank you and God Bless.

Hello,

I’m $9000 in debt and I need help.

In the past two years my financial debts have spiraled and I’m overwhelmed and at a loss as to how to recover. In that time, I have had two surgeries and an ER visit. Both of my surgeries were related to cancer concerns and were proactive measures. That said, I am fortunate that my surgeries did not show further cancer development but their costs were high, and necessary. In between my two surgeries, due to financial and other stressors I called my nurse to explain some acute symptoms which lead to me to drive myself to the ER for a potential heart attack, though the results showed that it was not a heart attack and likely my body’s response to the extreme stress. It was also during this time that I, for the first time in my life, cried in a doctor’s office because I was just so overwhelmed. All of these have contributed greatly to my current situation. Further unexpected costs, such as over $900 for vehicle taxes in a new state, continue to add to a growing total.

The stress continues to burden my daily life and I know is negatively impacting my well-being. I am concerned that future medical issues could come up because of it. I can’t see past the current debt to make a plan for my future and I know I am falling behind with each passing day. My debt is $9000 from the past couple of years and I cannot successfully keep up with the payment plan. I started working when I was 16 and consider myself to be a hard worker but I’ve reached a point where going at it alone is not working anymore. As a single individual I have a limited number of resources and I know the longer this goes on the worse it will get. I can’t thank you enough for your consideration and I know that once this burden is lifted I will be able to help others as you have helped me. I truly believe that if we can’t pay it back, we can always pay it forward.

Hello Everyone,

Let me tell you about my current situation. Back in July I found out that I was pregnant! My fiance and I were extremely excited to be starting a family and a future together. I went to my appointment and everything seemed to be going good! Then I went to work the one day and things were not so good. I started cramping and clotting. I made an appointment right away to get into my doctor. I went to the appointment and they did an ultrasound. The baby had stopped growing and the doctor said I was in early stages of miscarriage. I had lost the baby.

After this happened, I went into severe depression and my anxiety was worse than ever. I couldnt seem to want to move. I didnt want to see anyone or do anything. I literally couldnt even bring myself to shower or eat. It was the worst thing I have ever experienced. I took the time off work because I had paid vacation days and they seemed to understand the situation. I was institutionalized because my friends and family thought I was seriously going to hurt myself. I ended up losing my job, I cant seem to make ends meet. I am so far behind on bills and I just cant seem to bounce back. I have applied for loans, asked for help from people and I am seriously running out of options.

Just when I thought things were looking up, things just crash back down on me. Im in need of some help from someone and anyone. Please help get me back on my feet so I can try to have a fresh start. Anything is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My story starts about 7 years ago my family was robbed from our home and we lost over $20,000. Now two years ago I found out I have brain tumors and lupus. Still living at home with the help of my parents, for medical expenses, and the problems I face everyday will these illnesses. I decided to further my career as an artist painting on canvas. I have always enjoyed creating art and I wanted o share it with the world. However this day and age getting your name out there can be difficult. Its hard enough when someone judges you based on how you look; but now I’m judged on my illnesses. Jobs will not hire me because I’m up front with them about my illnesses and the effects they have on me daily. I’m a hard worker creating my own website to try and sell my art as well as putting in my effort to create something unique every day. But, my illness, and medical bills are only adding up. My family tries to help me as much as they can with bills, but having an MRI every month among other doctors appointments is really putting a dent into the amount of money anyone has left. I try my hardest on all social media outlets to put my creations out there more for the world to see. But, I haven’t been able to make my big break yet. I hope on day I will be able to pay back my parents; not only for all of the money they have provided to be with all of my medical bills, but for their support, and patience while I work my way down the road to recovery. I ask for help from those who can with their donations. Without donors like you, I would be lost and not know where else to turn. Thank you for you support.

I could use all the help I can get. In July of 2016 I had a knee replacement. Everything seem to be going go and after two months of rehab I went back to work. After 4 days at work my knee was hurting to the point to where I had a had time walking. My store manager sent me to the emergency room and I found out I had a infection in my knee. They had to remove the knee and put spacers in my leg and I was put on 12 weeks of iv antibiotics. On my 3rd surgery the infection was still there so they changed out the spacers with new ones. Two months later I received my 2nd knee replacement, surgery number 4. This time I had 3 months of rehab and I went back to work. Everything was going fine. The same thing happened again. After working for 3 months my knee started hurting again. I had another infection. On December 16 2017 I had surgery number 5 to have the knee removed again. In March of 2018 I had the knee put back in.

This has left me and my family oweing so much money to everyone. I missed a total of two years of work.

My wife and son don’t deserve the headache that all of these surgery’s have caused them. I’m begging for all the help I can get to get back on my feet. I don’t want to lose my house. The two years out of work and the 6 surgery’s has left me and my family about 45,000 in the hole.

Thank you,

My name is Sora. I am an indie game developer for steam. I’ve made five small games in the past year. These games sell less then 5 dollars each and steam takes 30 percent of each sale. People complain about my games and always want them cheaper or them to be worked on more. They only buy them on sale or barely buy them at all. I hardly make any money for my hard work. I do work hard, updating non early access games frequently post release and trying to appease them. I make their lives easier while mine gets worse. Recently I was scammed by a false check and it bounced. I didn’t have any evidence so I had to pay it back. It was worth 2000 dollars. Years ago, before I was even able to comprehend the bills of the internet. My mom left a comcast bill with my name on it. I owed for years 200 dollars without me even realizing it. Here is the thing. I grew up around emotionally selfish people who have made me suffer at their expense all my life. They took everything from me, didn’t teach me a damn thing and expected everything from me. I lived their version of my life as I grew up. One day, when they all abandoned me. I was taken in by a friend about last year and I saved up my ssi money to try and afford an apartment. Apartments in Mass are super expensive and I had other things I had to pay for like my phone and the fact I was scammed out of 700 dollars last year. I also wanted to buy things. I finally had enough to move out and when I did thats when I found out about the comcast negative balance and shortly after was hit with the bounced check. My rent is basically the cost of what I get per month from ssi and my job’s funds have been going straight to my bank. I was cut from my vermont food stamps because I had to take shelter in mass. Now I get less money a month. I have cut down my debt from 2000 to just 500 dollars. I paid off the owed comcast debt even though it was my fault and I’ve been working really hard ever since. I cannot get a physical job for another year because I don’t have a mass ID and cannot get one until my vermont ID expires. So I am in debt, mostly starving myself trying to get by each month. On top of that, my eye sight is very poor and I can lose it within the couple of years. Yes, I have glasses, but no they don’t really help. I’m practically blind. I really could use lazer eye surgery. I live now in a dangerous neighborhood, all alone with no insurance and live beyond my means struggling to make ends meet. I don’t know how much I’d need to get out, but anything helps. I know I probably won’t get anything for writing all of this and I know the days are still going to continue with nothing changing. But I do hope that something can change for the better.

In the depths of darkness and in the sea of despair she rose up from a prison she once called home. In the purest of evil she frowned, in the happiest of moments she stood still, motionless but not yet emotionless. Death has called her countless times but even through that she did not die but yet became stronger. Her fate is what determines her future–her fate causes her to struggle to suffer nameless crimes. She does not claim the word “victim” but masters it into her own definition. Survivor. In this world pain and suffering is our middle name. In this world it is not just the essence of evil that claims our pain. It comes in different shapes and forms. It is also its victims that make our pain greater. Mother, father, sister, brother, friend, best friend, acquaintance, lover, stranger. Its power is limitless. We have two options do we choose to BE mastered or TO master?-Jonai Whitehorn

That is a poem I made in the midst of my depression and anxiety. I was diagnosed with “Clinical depression” and “Severe anxiety” over 4 years ago. Since then it has been a battle, attempting suicide more than I can count on both hands. I have struggled with self-harm, and I also have been in and out of hospitals for countless attempts of dying. I inspire to be more than my illnesses I inspire to overcome and be who I inspire to be. Which is a computer hardware engineer. Whether if its for my hospital bills, transportation fees for me getting to therapy, or for my school tuition anything will help.

hi, I’m a first year graduate student in a NY based medical school. I’m the first person in my family to graduate college and I want to be an oncologist. Growing up things were really uncertain in life because my father was not around and my mother has struggled with substance abuse my entire life. Recently, she had a seizure due to alcohol withdrawal and many medical complications which followed. While I was at school she allowed her health insurance to lapse, and so instead of paying for tuition on payment plan, I’ve been paying her medical bills, and can barely afford them. I have two jobs on top of school and am seriously facing having to drop out because of these financial issues. I’ve always wanted to see the positive even in situations that are trying, but I just don’t see a way out of this. My bank account is regularly overdrawn and I owe back bills for school, life and my mother’s medical expenses. My last hope is maybe the kindness of strangers. It’s sad to feel like you got so far and have to give in, but I’m also sure I would t be the first person to have to drop out of med school because of high costs. Also, my mother has been to rehab in the past but refuses to go again. We have a strained and difficult relationship and I’ve tried to manage or cure her illness many times. At this point I feel hopeless about that too. But she’s still my mom and I can’t just let her sit under all of this debt or worse, not try and get her medical care. I don’t have much but I’ve looked through some other campaigns here and donated a few dollars, maybe if we all pay it forward even a little bit everyone can end up where they need or want to be. Thank you.

Hi. I’m 43 years old and have been in poor health for the last decade. I’ve been a hair stylist most of my adult life and always worked. I suffered a massive stroke at 34 and spent 2 years recovering. My husband didn’t feel like supporting me through this so he divorced me. I also have severe asthma and COPD although I’m not a smoker. I lost my job and all my clientele not being able to work at all for 2 years. I’m as recovered from the stroke as I’ll ever be but my breathing gets worse by the day. I end up in the emergency room at least once a month. They stabilize me then write me prescriptions I can’t afford to fill. Without the medication my breathing deteriorates until I’m in the hospital again. I’ve applied for disability but I was denied. I apply every month for Medicaid but get denied every month. I have over 10k in unpaid medical bills.I’m asking for enough for 3 months of medicine. That would be long enough to be able to work long enough to save money to get them myself after that. I’ve always been a hard worker and self sufficient but being sick has taken that from me. I don’t even have the money for my living expenses like rent and food much less expensive medication. My prescriptions are over $600 a month. One inhaler alone is $425. Being sick has drained what little money I had. There’s nothing left. I’m asking for help so I can in turn better help myself and others.  I need your help to get better and to just breathe. Thank you.

I was in an atv accident 10 years ago. I was 17 years old and, was extremely lucky to walk away alive. Unfortunately my brain and, eyes were my main injuries. I had a fourth nerve palsy in my left eye, requiring 2 surgeries over three years. I still have double vision when I look up, down and, to the sides. Forward is perfect though! There was shearing of my brain and, quite a bit of hemorrhaging in my frontal lobes. This has left me with a non-stop headache ever since. Some days get taken away from me because of the pain but, I have learned to deal with it for the most part. I try to live life as happy as possible and, smile through it every day! With all of that being said, I did not know at the time that when I turned 18 those medical bills were now my responsibility. I have tried making minimal payments over the years but, have never been able to come close to the end..let alone catch up. I am going back to college for electrical engineering. I have not let the pain stop me but, all of my previous medical debt plus tuition is overwhelming. I don’t like asking for help. I know others are in need more than myself but, I’m in a hole that I can not get out of. I want to move forward and, get rid of this burden. Anything would help. I would be forever grateful. Thank you for even taking the time to read my story. Stay safe!
