Cancer has taken it all for me… Please help!

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I find myself in a place I never thought I ever would be, asking for help, but I am in desperate need of financial help and I am hoping that you find it in your hearts to help me and my family. So putting aside my pride I am asking to please help me and my family.

I honestly don’t know where to even begin..I am at a loss for words, because the tears are coming down so hard that I just can’t believe I am at this point in my life that it has become this bad. It has taken everything piece of me, my laughter, my smile, my body, my being and I am lost..

Well, here is my story as best as I can tell it at this point.

I  have been struggling with so many medical issues over that last few years but the biggest being Stage IV Melanoma, though first I had stage 2 tumor, then two years later, it came back and came into my lymph nodes in my groin. With all that I was on a full year of chemotherapy. This took everything I had out of me. It was this worst of the worst and I just wanted it all to end, one way or the other. The chemo was $4000 a month and insurance only paid 1/3 of this, on top of hospital bills, doctors, therapy, so on and so forth! On top of all of that, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, severe depression, chronic pain syndrome, lymphodema in my leg where I can hardly walk, neuropathy and several other issues that have prevented me from returning to work. I have had multiple surgeries over the last few years including a broken ankle and neck surgery. Day after day of doctors, week after week, month after month.. I was always seeing someone for something.

We are over $60,000 in debt due to all of my illnesses, as we have come behind on all of our household bills, loans, credit cards, cell phones, insurance payments, you name it, we owe it. I have such a feeling of guilt over me and feel I have taken everything away from my family because we cannot afford to do anything, have anything anymore because cancer has taken it all away from us. I have no where else to turn and I am asking for help of your donation, whatever that may be, would be so greatly appreciated and would help our family get out life back,

The stress and anxiety that I have over this financial burden that is on me is so overwhelming, I feel like giving up most days. If I could just get some relief, I feel that I would be able to concentrate on my health more and hopefully start feeling better and one day in the future return to work and then I would be able to pay it forward once our family has our life back in order.

I am completely embarrassed to even put this out there for anyone to even know my business, but that is how desperate I am. I have no family or friends to ask that would be in any position to help us and we have no where else to turn. All I can say is please! Please and thank you, I thank you in advance for even reading this, and considering help me. I will be forever grateful for your generosity.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart – Jo

Help bring U.S. citizen home! Air ambulance needed!!

Faustino Vargas, 61 years old, was visiting his mother in Mexico to help care for her and their farm when he was brutally beaten and left for dead on the side of the road in the state of Guanajuato in Mexico.

What we know:
On the night of May 12 2019, Faustino was in the small rural town of Ojos de Aguas when he was jumped, dragged, and beaten with a hard object (doctors suggested a bat due to severe skull fractures). His assailants then left Faustino stranded in the dark. When the ambulance finally arrived, he was barely breathing and did not receive any proper medical treatment at the local clinic (it is a very small town with no emergency hospital). He was finally transferred to an emergency hospital in the nearest large city 5 hours later. Faustino was unable to breathe on his own and began to seizure, so the decision was made to induce him into a coma. It has now been over 3 weeks and he is still in critical condition. The doctors say that he still has brain activity, but all we can do is wait due to the physical trauma his brain has endured. There are many speculations as to what exactly happened the night of the incident, but we are currently seeking legal justice against those that were involved.

Faustino Vargas is a father, a husband, a grandfather, a brother, an uncle, and a friend.

Faustino Vargas is a U.S Citizen.

We are currently trying to bring him home to California, but the only way he can travel in his critical state is by air ambulance (i.e. by helicopter). Insurance does not cover these expenses and the air ambulance is requiring us to pay $30,000 USD out of pocket. This is the only way they will transfer him to a hospital in the states where he can receive the proper medical attention that he desperately needs.

What we are asking:
We do not have the sufficient funds to move Faustino on our own, so we ask if you could find it in your hearts to help us bring him home. We need $30,000 USD in order to transport him and any amount will help us tremendously. Thank you.

Drowning in it

Hey I’m Lin. It says I should tell you the actual story, so here I go.

 

I grew up in a poor family with a heavily abusive mother. I mean, she was abusive to all of us, but she mostly took out her anger on my dad and I. Eventually, my dad left.  After that, she was solely focusing her anger into me. I was already being bullied at school as a young gay kid, so I had nowhere to go and no one to protect me. I started cutting, I would have anxiety and panic attacks. As everyone does, I eventually moved away and moved closer to my dad in Texas. I worked and lived my life.  I tried to give my mother a second chance but that didn’t end well. I officially cut her out of my life October 2018 and I’m not looking back, but the scars are still there. Before that, i had landed a good job and moved in with my best friend in Austin, but I was still miserable and sick all of the time. Things just got worse and worse until February 2019, when I attempted to kill myself. I spent 10 days hospitalized for the attempt and when I got out, I found out my friend wanted to break out new lease and leave. This put us in a decent enough debt already, and I also had to quit my job and move in with my brother. I get calls and emails everyday about a shit ton of different debts I’m in. Im in the negatives in my bank account. I’m past due on credit bills and hospital bills and I’ve yet to be able to find a job. I feel like I’m already dead.

 

to cut it short, I just need help. I don’t know how this sounds to others but I know how it feels and I can’t breathe. Anything that you’re willing to spare would be so deeply appreciated you don’t even know. At one point, I even tried selling fetish porn and I hated myself for it. I just need help.

Chronic Pain Hindering Career & Study Goals

Hi everyone, I am really hopeful that this will resonate with others that suffer from chronic pain.

I’m 27 years old and have chronic pain that is getting in the way of my goals. After suffering from hormonal issues my weight ballooned to 308lb, which I thought was the reason for my pain. Since 2016 I have lost 110lb and am sitting around 198lb, which is AMAZING and I am so happy with how hard I have worked to lose it. Unfortunately, even with losing the weight my chronic pain issues are getting worse and not better.

I take 4 different medications every day to ease the pain. One is an anti-depressant, one is an NSAID, one is to stop the possibility of ulcers forming in my stomach and the last is for energy. I have found that a spray originally made to desensitize the male “downstairs” area is the cheapest way to ease neck and back pain with topical anaesthetic as it’s active ingredient. I see a physio every two weeks, I try and walk 5km once a week, do bodyweight exercises once a week and stretch/foam roll every single day.

I really enjoy doing a lot for myself. I have studied graphic design at university and event management through an online college. I have completed both courses. I would like to continue studying, doing short courses on sustainable living and horticulture some day.

I have been working as much as possible through my study to keep on top of normal bills and rent, and without the medical bills I would be able to afford the basics in my life with no issues. These excess costs are overwhelming!! I wish I could say that I’m not in debt over ongoing costs, but I am – and I can’t keep up with repayments and the interest is getting the better of me.

I am trying really hard to be able to do everything I want to do – work and study, pace myself, but still not miss out on living my life. To try and save money and still be social I volunteer with some really cool organisations that plan events for people that like either science or fitness. The 5km I walk once a week is usually at Parkrun (which is a free timed 5km that happens at 8 am on Saturday morning in parks all over the globe!) and that is a bit of a community event so I can be social then too.

I have just started getting more tests done to help find out if there is anything that can be done further or differently, as I don’t want to be stuck on anti-depressants if I’m not depressed. The tests are going to cost a lot of money, and on top of physio appointments and medication, I don’t know how I’m going to afford it all. I just can’t give up yet.

I’m young, I have so much I want to do.

That said, I am stuck in a vicious cycle of not having enough money to do the things I need to do because of medical bills. Sometimes I have to spend more than what I get in my paycheck. My chronic pain is a pain in itself, but my financial situation is holding me back from finding a way forward to achieve the things I want to achieve.

Maybe you can relate. Maybe you had chronic pain when you were younger and understand how much of a financial burden it is. How much of a mental burden it is. How much it would mean if someone that understood and could afford to lend a helping hand, helped in a way that you couldn’t thank them for enough.

Thank you for reading, and I am so grateful for any support you are able to provide.

Medical Costs and the constant No’s I am needing just a little break

Hello My name is Melissa. I started working at the age of 14 and continued until I was 36.  During this time I suffered 2 strokes as a result of a violent strangulation attack from who I though was a friend and within 6 months was back to my call center job. However at 36 I was diagnosed with a rare bone disease called Avascular Necrosis or AVN for short. I am 43 and I am positive in 8 joints for this disease both wrists, knees, hips and ankles and need joints replaced or removed which because of my age and lack of knowledge of the disease doctors are resisting I did manage to get one knee replaced..but it didn’t go so well and i am now disabled. Due to the fact I worked hard for my working life I have to pay 279$ to the state of Missouri for what is called a spend down…that brings me down from my SSDI income to SSI income..however Snap benefits and section 8 still use my original income to calculate benefits so …I don’t get a lot of help from either. I have been struggling through the last few years trying to just keep going..and to be honest I am tired..tired of being in pain that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, tired of going to doctors only to be told yeah no..you have to wait 10 more years though my pain doc says there isn’t more we can do, the appeals to try to get my income adjusted to try to get more benefits..and on top of all of that the only open MRI closed in my town and now where I finally do have a doc to operate at least on my wrists I can get there but the cost to stay the night and food I can’t afford it is 3hrs away and my body cannot handle a 9hr day like that. So what am I asking for..well to be honest..help to make the trip happen for the MRI would be awesome..we have priced that at about 200-250$ depending when I am able to go. But if not even that much every penny I can get that can go toward a bill lets me breathe a little easier..I don’t do anything but eat one hot meal a day and sit on my computer..I have mental illnesses so I don’t go out and really don’t socialize. It would be nice to get a small break from some of the bills so i can get some clothing that fits (I have lost 50lbs in the last 2yrs) or a cane that is covered by medicaid and medicare but no organization will order it because its a rare type and its not in their catalog. I guess all I am asking for is a breather..Each week something new comes up and I fight to get through the best I can for no reason..just that I don’t know anything else TO do. So if my story reaches you I will tell you even .50$ will let me know someone out there read and cared enough to try. Thank you very much for your time and I wish that anyone reading this stays in good health..I would never ever wish this nightmare on anyone.

Major Surgery help

I am a twenty-six year old college graduate, and I am currently living with my incredible fiancée and our two year old little boy. My partner and I both work hard to try and give ourselves and our son an amazing chance and experience in life. This year at the end of October, 2019 I am having major surgery on my chest. For me, this surgery is not optional. However, this surgery is most certainly not affordable in my current situation. This medical procedure could be life saving for me, and certainly life changing for all of the people heavily involved in my life. However, it is not covered by my insurance and I am being given no choice but to come up with the funds out of pocket in order to have access to this surgery.

The total cost for my needed surgery is going to add up to over $10,500 dollars out of pocket. That cost is not counting the travel costs to go halfway across the country to access this surgery, as well as accommodation to stay in town for two weeks, one before and one after my surgery date for observation. We have been trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to drive to the state my surgery is taking place or to take a plane and fly there. There are pros and cons to both options and, as money is tight in this scenario, we plan to travel this most cost effective way we can find as it dawns closer to the day of my surgery.

Aside from the travel in and of itself, my partner and I would be out of state for several weeks. This would involve my fiancée and I both to take off work for the weeks I would need to be out of state, as well as myself taking off work for at least a full month after the surgery is complete. I’m struggling to come up with the money and can’t afford to take out loans or to not get this life saving procedure. I have been working to save as much money towards this surgery as I am able, however I have fallen incredibly short from the mark and need assistance to make this happen and not be denied or left in debt for the rest of my existence.

I work in a school setting, and while I love working with the children and seeing them learn, grow, and turn themselves into amazing people with unique traits and personalities, my wage is simply not enough to cover bills, family life, and medical expenses when needed. I am hopeful that I will be able to get this surgery and spend many loving years with my small family afterwards.

Please Save My Family / updated

Please save my family.

This is new to me, to my family. It’s hard to know where to begin or exactly how this works. In spite of the overwhelming stress and lack of hope I feel, I also have a strong feeling of gratitude. If you are reading this, you must be someone just simply looking to help others. That is extraordinary and your selfless acts will undoubtedly change people’s lives. If nothing else, know that I am grateful for the time you give reading this and for your desire to help those in need. Bless you.

It is the greatest joy in my life to be a husband and a father. Simultaneously, it is also frightening and an enormous weight to carry when true adversity strikes. Two years ago my family and I set out for a life changing new adventure and moved across the country not knowing exactly what would unfold before us. We did not know a single person in our new community but we knew we had found home. My wife and beautiful children immediately felt a sense of peace, belonging and even inspiration with this new start. What a relief. Nothing makes me happier than the smiles and laughter of my family.

Shortly after this move we were inspired to open a new business and put all of our efforts into serving our new community. After months of research and due diligence we found the perfect fit for my skillsets and our primary goal to incorporate service into our professional lives. Life was good and my family was thriving.

In that same timeframe we had more opportunity for advocacy work and volunteering. We have a philanthropic passion to end slavery around the world and I have dedicated every free moment of my life to this cause. I serve as a statewide volunteer leader for one of the largest anti-slavery organizations in the world and it has been the most rewarding work I have ever dreamed of. I wish I could continue spending my life saving the lives of strangers.

This upward trajectory of the amazing life my family was experiencing began to shift dramatically a little over one year ago. My incredible wife began experiencing horrific and unrelenting health issues. Suddenly, she was no longer able to consistently care for our children or completely take care of herself. On the bad days she couldn’t do any of it at all. The bad days far outnumber the good days now.

After more than a year of investigation, doctors’ visits, dozens of “specialists” and any so called remedy suggested we are left with too few answers. We know what some of the issues are but not enough to formulate a plan of attack any doctor can agree on. The only consensus from our local doctors seems to be that this is completely out of their depth. It is now recommended we go to the Mayo Clinic to see their specialists and seek proper treatment. Meanwhile, my wife lives in agony and life unravels around us. My children want to know why mommy is in bed all the time and always in pain. We all want to know.

With me having to spend most of my time taking care of my wife and young children our new business has been crippled. Our bank accounts and all our reserves have been completely depleted. Our family is now in crisis and rapidly losing hope. Our closest friends have selflessly given us what they can so we may eat and keep our electricity on but this is not sustainable. Shockingly, we have found the wealthy people we know too afraid to part with any of their excess to save a family so desperately in need.

I now look to the kindness and generosity of strangers, pleading for help. Above all I want to get my wife the help she needs. I need to work so I can provide for my family. I need to pay off our debt so we aren’t choking on credit card bills, medical bills and completely destroying any future our children might have. I need to pay for the medical care she needs which means going out of state to the Mayo Clinic and our insurance will not pay for a dime. Our health insurance only provides coverage in our state.

We are now $43,000 in debt. We have very little income due to me being a fulltime caregiver. I need to pay someone to help my wife while I work and hopefully salvage our business. I need to raise money to travel to Minnesota for a one week stay at Mayo. I need to raise money to pay for those doctors since I have not help from the insurance we have paid thousands for. My prayer, my hope, my plea is that somehow we can raise $70,000 to make this happen.

I have nothing left. Nowhere to turn. Please help.

Helping My Beloved Mom Pay for her Surgery

My name is Chase and I am 19 years old. I am starting this campaign on behalf of my family, more specifically my mother. For the longest time I’ve placed myself at the center of everything, as I struggle with my health and well being which caused me to seek out attention and support instead of earning it righteously. It took some time to get back on my feet, but eventually I did, and I have all of the gratitude in the world for my mother for helping me through my tough times. My mother is the type of woman who will do anything and everything in her power to make everyone around her smile even when her life is in shambles. It breaks my heart to see that my mother is going through a hard time of her own right now, and there doesn’t seem to be much I can do to help out, at least not nearly as much as I’d like to. She quit her job to take care of me when I was sick, and hasn’t been able to find another job since, and now that I’m about to graduate high school she’s going to need me even more around the house. She is very passionate about fitness, exercising every single day and tries to eat right- but after being diagnosed with a throat condition that prevents her from eating the majority of what she used to eat to stay healthy and after suffering yet another leg injury, I am worried that she is going to start to lose herself even more, falling deeper into a depression. My father is the money-maker, and my parents have a rocky history that has over time bled into my life, creating a rift between him and the rest of the family. I’m going to have to go to college soon and start working, which on its own scares me. I care about my mother so much, and I just wish that there was some way that I could prove to her how much I care that goes beyond “I love you”’s and an extra hug at night.

My father does his best to provide for us, but the bills have been piling up and I am beginning to worry that we are in over our heads. I’ve been saving up for a long time, and most of my savings have been directed towards a car of my own, to drive myself to the doctor or to run errands for my mom. I am constantly being told not to stress over the finances of my family, however I am still a member of this family and if there is any chance I can help them, I can rest assured knowing that my concerns haven’t gone unnoticed.
If anyone would be so kind as to donate, the proceeds will go towards helping my family pay bills, sort out medical expenses, and most importantly, help pay for my mother’s leg surgery so that she can get back to her best self before I have to leave for college. I’ve decided to take a gap year to save as much as I can, and this is only a small gesture, but still a gesture, which goes a long way.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I promise you that your generosity will never go unnoticed.

Family in Financial Crisis…I Never Thought I’d Be Here..Please Help me

Hi, I’m Jacqueline…and I’ll state again, I  never thought I’d be here…asking for money. I’m putting aside all my pride and ego, because I’m so lost at this point, I don’t want to stoop to something I’ll regret later on in life.

I’m a 24 year old girl, well, 25 in 2 weeks…with Major Depressive Disorder Which I’ve dealt with for the past 8 years. Everything started last November…I had a good paying job, I was happy. I then lost my health insurance, because I’m considered “medically frail and disabled” I had always been protected under my state’s health program…they discontinued coverage because of my income being over the limit. Mind you, I was being paid well for my family and I’s lifestyle, which is pretty humble and simple, so $15 an hour was decent for me.

Once I lost my insurance, I lost my ability to see my psychiatrist, and my GI…I also have severe chronic IBS, which needs to be kept under control. I used credit to cover medical costs for the first couple of weeks after losing coverage while I tried my best to regain it. Well…those credit cards soon got maxed. I no longer could afford my medication for anything, or even my appointments. I started getting really sick at work by January, extremely sick. I was in so much pain all the time because of my horrible GI issues, and mentally I was distraught. I started having withdrawal symptoms from not taking my anti-depressants, I started missing work, and the cycle began. I ended up losing my job in march of 2019.

I started struggling further and further..I take care of my mother who is very ill. She has rheumatoid arthritis, and I take care of my younger brother who is also disabled. My mother and I recently got bronchitis somehow, and I’m freaking out because I don’t know where or how to get money anymore. I’ve done the loans, I’ve pawned what I could, but nothing is really helping me ge out of this loan. I’m terrified of losing my home…my credit took a hit..it went from 700 down to under 500 in just the past couple of weeks. So when I saw I’m spiraling, I literally mean it. I’m behind on ALL my payments, including mortgage, car note(I only owe 2k on my little car and cant even make a single payment on it) I need medication mostly for my mother right now, I can hold off for a while, but she’s too delicate in health(yes even more than myself) and I’m afraid for her.

I just started working..literally just yesterday..I have 2 more weeks before I get paid, and I’m not even making as much as I originally was, but I don’t think she can wait for medications any longer.

I’m still working my insurance issues out..(Indiana freaking sucks) I have an appointment today because they need to process me through as a disabled working person..because they ‘forgot’ to do so years ago.

I don’t even care about the rest of my debt with my medical bills…I just want to get my mom to get proper care…she almost died pneumonia when I was 11, I don’t want her to go through that again.

All in all, it’s May 28th 2019, I’m asking for donations of any amount. I can tell you all the debt I’m trying to clear before my house or car get taken…my car being the only ride I have to continue working.. I owe 2100 on my car. my Mortgage is behind $1K, my living bills and medical bills add up to about $11K. I’m not asking for you to donate 11K, I’m only asking for help with whatever is possible…even a $1 helps. I’m so desperate and depressed and I feel useless, I don’t understand why this happened to us at such a horrible time. My Bank account is approx. -$140 ..in RED.

And as I’m typing this my mother just asked me if I could take her to the hospital tomorrow morning if she doesn’t feel better…which I obviously will, but I know she’s worried about the cost it will incur..

 

If you’re reading this, I don’t know if you’re legitimate, if there are any kindhearted people in online that could see this and help, so I’m begging you….please  help me out this crisis. I’ve done everything I can and continue to do so. I just need help with paying bills, I’ll be attaching pictures soon, there are so many bills its ridiculous. I pray this gets to the right person, I hope it touches your heart and if you can’t donate, that’s okay, just share for me please. I’m truly lost at this time, I’ve no other idea what to do.

Thank you for reading through this, it really means the world to me at this moment in my life.

Temporary Help Needed

Hello,

My husband and I have always lived paycheck to paycheck and despite that fact, we were always able to pay my bills on time. Recently, my 19 month old daughter came down with an illness that an unvaccinated child brought to her daycare. My daughter is up-to-date on all of her vaccines, yet she still got sick. Because of the unexpected impact of her illness on our finances, we have fallen behind on our bills. We need help catching up otherwise we will continue to be behind. We have health insurance, but there are still amounts we have to pay.

We owe the following amounts:

$2102.83 in combined medical bills for my daughter and I. I had it set up under a payment plan, but they discontinue it once you miss a payment.

130.62 for WE Energies bill.

1040.50 for our mortgage. That amount includes our past due balance of 527.51.

I can provide proof of all of the bills, if needed.

I just need a little help trying to catch up, so I won’t keep falling behind. Any little bit will help.

Thank you,

R.C.S.

Urgent breast surgery

My names Sarah and I never thought I’d be in the position where I am telling my ‘sob story’ and asking for help online but hey here we are.

Basically, I have breast implants, one of them has ruptured and I need to have them replaced as it is slowly poisoning me as it leaks.

Unfortunately I am in no financial position to have this surgery and my family are fighting their own battles medically so I am unable to get any assistance from them.

On Friday I was told that the company I work for are going broke and I have 2 weeks left of employment so have the added pressure of looking for another job so I can continue to pay my rent and bills and try to save for the surgery.

For my surgery I need close to $11,000 and am doing all I can to get it. I am doing side jobs where I can as well as my normal Monday to Friday (while that lasts) and where my health allows it. The leaking is making me quite ill so I have to push myself through to keep the money coming in so I can get the surgery done. It’s bit of a struggle but I just want to get better so am focussed on the solution rather than the problem.

My credit isn’t great and I am unable to get a loan on top of the minimal credit card I already have. This is what happens when you trust a boyfriend (now ex thank goodness) who turns out to be a drug addict, takes all your money, leaves you to default on loans and basically sends you completely broke and starting again at the age of 30.

I’ve never been one to ask for help, I’ve always been the one to give it. I believe if you give out good, good will come back to you. Even though I don’t have a lot I always help those around me where I can.

This is the first time I have asked for assistance from anyone and to be honest it is killing me to do so however if I don’t get the money I am slowly physically dying so it’s bit of a catch 22.

I am single and don’t have that support of a partner to get me through this and I want to be able to live the rest of my life happy and healthy and find that person that is right for me but while I am so sick and working so many hours and basically just trying to survive I can’t find that and get that support.

I don’t want people to feel sorry for me, I am just hoping there are people out there who read this and just want to help someone who is really struggling, who is a regular person, with a regular life. I would be so appreciative to anyone who can help no matter how big or small your donation. Every little bit helps.

Spinal Surgery Needed!

I should start by saying what a hole I have dug for myself. I have suffered from low back pain since my teens. I have battled my weight in determination to stay healthy and mobile. My worst fear is becoming my mother. I didn’t and don’t want to be disabled in my 20s or now. I am 32 years old and have been diagnosed with a sequestered herniated disc and osteoarthritis. Symptoms include severe left leg pain from irritated nerves. The pain has pretty much been debilitating. I was able to see a spine surgeon and get an MRI done with bill money I had in the bank.

My spine surgeon suggested surgery as my best choice. A herniated disc fragment has migrated down my spinal cord and needs to be removed. Conservative treatment may help temporarily but the continuing pressure on my nerve may cause damage and the result being loss of feeling in my left leg for good.

Surgeon’s cost $3609 plus surgical center and anesthesia. Which may run me another $3000.

I am at my last resort and trying to utilize all options available. I am a surgical technician who’s employer provides the worst insurance available. My reason for staying is my boss. He is amazing. He has been kind even allowing me to work from home so I can keep paying bills. I recently took out another installment loan to help with my medical bills. With all the loans I have taken out I barely have enough to pay for my rent. My bank account is currently at $130. I took out a loan of $1000 to put towards my medical bills. Then after all is said I will be so far behind I will probably have my lights and water turned off.

I am praying that this works. I am begging that I am blessed with a some financial help. I am drowning in bills and pain.

In advanced, THANK YOU! Thank you from the deepest most sincere place in my heart. If you would like to check the validity of my story check out my instagram. Some before and afters explain the reason for my fitness journey. One reason being the health of my spine. @fit_amandarae

Brother & I Fallen Behind

I would like to thank all of you who take the time to read this. I have never needed to resort to this before, but I am running out places to look for help, and I’m not sure what else to do, so I am humbled to be here and speak to you.

I have fallen behind on a lot of financial responsibilities; keeping up with rent, student loan payments, credit card payments, my car, standard bills, etc. and I need help at this point to stay on track.

I’ll do my best to give you the best short version of the story I can offer, as not to be long winded. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis back in 2016. My twin brother was diagnosed back in 2009. Since my brothers’ diagnosis, he has developed several other medical issues that have left him unable to work, so he lives here with me on disability. I am in much better shape than he is with my UC, and I have been blessed so far to keep my ability to work. Because of this, I bring in the majority of the money between the two of us, so I cover anything I can manage. Our rent is $1,200 per month and we’re also responsible for electric on top; about $200-250 per month, depending on the weather. I pay $800 of the $1,200 in rent, $183.86 per month for a student loan payment on almost $5,000 of remaining debt, just over $500 per month in credit card payments, about $100 per month for my car insurance, groceries, etc.

These past few years have been tight, especially this past year. I started to get sick more frequently. I ended up in the hospital for a month back in September of last year, and was out a lot of pay from not working. I went from being 1/3 diseased “left-sided colitis” to 100% diseased “pancolitis” we found out on that stay at the hospital. My treatment was no longer working, and we decided to look into a new treatment. I started building up credit card debt to keep up after getting out of the hospital. My insurance covered what they could from that stay, but I’m still looking at over $16,000 in medical expenses that I’m responsible for.

Things were really bad for me financially for the rest of 2018, and this year has proven to be the year of the snowball effect. I began a treatment called Remicade for my UC, as I’m no longer responding to previous treatment. I have just begun my full dosage after my “warm up” dosages that started back in January. Although Remicade is about $10,000 per infusion, I only have to pay about $200 after they signed me up to a special financial program. I have continued to build up credit card debt, amounting to just shy of $8,000. I ended up back in the hospital for one week in January, and again for two weeks in March, and I just got back out of the hospital again this past week on the 23rd. I started seeing a rheumatologist for severe pain that I’ve been developing, which looks like something new developing, and the bills keep piling up. I can feel the pressure just rising and rising day by day. Just thinking about how many things there are to take care of is so overwhelming, I just want to curl up in a ball and turn everything off. I can’t get ahead. I went to take out a loan today to consolidate some of the credit card debt and make it easier to pay. I couldn’t even get a loan because my utilization is too high. They offered to look into an option for a secured loan where they would hold my car as collateral, but I drive a 2002 Hyundai, which they weren’t interested in holding as collateral, so I was denied my loan.

My goal is to pay off the credit cards first. Just knocking those out would save me over $500 per month to put towards other debt. I would then take care of my student loan debt, which is about another $200 per month that can be focused elsewhere. Just those alone would provide tremendous relief!

At this point, I am desperate for anything. It doesn’t matter what amount it is. I am grateful for anything anyone can do, and I want to thank you all a million times over for even taking the time to read this. I’ve simply fallen way too far behind, and I can’t bail myself out faster than the water is pouring in at this point. I love my brother, I care about his health more than anything, and I need to continue to support him, and keep our living situation stable. Thank you so much, and all the love in the world to you.

The First Time asking for me.

Hello, I am an 18 yr. Army Veteran. I got hurt in the military & was not able to walk, nor have full range of body function for 3 yrs. In that time, I gained a lot of weight, not being able to move or exercise. My Fiance left me because I couldn’t have sex. I went into severe depression. So adding to what I was already going through I was in a very bad place in my life. With lots of physical therapy & injections I am back to being able to walk with no pain & do so many things I couldn’t before. I lost a lot of the weight & trying to gain my confidence back, although when I look in the mirror, I dont see the girl that I was. I have much loose skin now & it drapes down my front, it’s hard to feel comfortable & I have other issues that the skin arises like shaft skin & odor due to the over lapping skin. It is hard to fit in my old clothes & I went to the Dr. & he said it’s stretched skin which won’t go back to place, so it has to be cut. Last year I had the money (15G) but my aunt told me they had diagnosed her with Cancer & I flew her to live with me & began taking her to good Dr.’s to do test on her. She started treatment here and Thank God one of the Cancers they found is gone. Before she left the Dr. told me she had a yr to live but I am faithful that she will be here with us for more than that. She is strong & thanks for the treatments & God she is doing well. The year before that, I took care of my sister that fell into kidney failure. This is the reason I have no money in the bank for me. What I had saved when I was able to work was spent on them for their health. My friend was the one that told me to come here. she said “You have gone to countries & helped so many & I watch you be kind to everyone & anyone, you never do anything for yourself, let other’s do something for you for once”. I never do anything for a reward or a trophy. I love being kind. I like to see others be happy & well. I live in a Fixed Military Pension which at mid month Im broke by paying the bills & food. I have an introvert teen that I solely support. I just want to take my life back. I don’t want to keep hiding because my ex Fiance told me that my body was disgusting. I became fat because of my injuries for serving my country. The procedure to cut the drape of skin costs $15,000. $13,000 for the cutting of the loose skin & $2,000 for someone to take care of me & help me to shower & cook for my kid. I have re written this 3 times, because I feel no one will listen. But maybe someone is as kind as me and will understand my situation and will help me.? They say Karma gives you back what you give to others 3 times fold. I will pray you all will hear me & I can cut this hanging drape of loose skin that it’s also a part of those dark day of my life. God Bless you all. Thank you in advance and I am sorry for being forward with this. I really hope someone helps me like I do help others. It will be beautiful to see that there’s so many other’s with a heart like mine. I love helping other’s and I have always paid blessings forward. Please help me look in the mirror and not feel disgusting. It’s not only hanging loose skin, it’s a whole mental & physical challenge.

Please save my family.

Please save my family.

This is new to me, to my family. It’s hard to know where to begin or exactly how this works. In spite of the overwhelming stress and lack of hope I feel, I also have a strong feeling of gratitude. If you are reading this, you must be someone just simply looking to help others. That is extraordinary and your selfless acts will undoubtedly change people’s lives. If nothing else, know that I am grateful for the time you give reading this and for your desire to help those in need. Bless you.

It is the greatest joy in my life to be a husband and a father. Simultaneously, it is also frightening and an enormous weight to carry when true adversity strikes. Two years ago my family and I set out for a life changing new adventure and moved across the country not knowing exactly what would unfold before us. We did not know a single person in our new community but we knew we had found home. My wife and beautiful children immediately felt a sense of peace, belonging and even inspiration with this new start. What a relief. Nothing makes me happier than the smiles and laughter of my family.

Shortly after this move we were inspired to open a new business and put all of our efforts into serving our new community. After months of research and due diligence we found the perfect fit for my skillsets and our primary goal to incorporate service into our professional lives. Life was good and my family was thriving.

In that same timeframe we had more opportunity for advocacy work and volunteering. We have a philanthropic passion to end slavery around the world and I have dedicated every free moment of my life to this cause. I serve as a statewide volunteer leader for one of the largest anti-slavery organizations in the world and it has been the most rewarding work I have ever dreamed of. I wish I could continue spending my life saving the lives of strangers.

This upward trajectory of the amazing life my family was experiencing began to shift dramatically a little over one year ago. My incredible wife began experiencing horrific and unrelenting health issues. Suddenly, she was no longer able to consistently care for our children or completely take care of herself. On the bad days she couldn’t do any of it at all. The bad days far outnumber the good days now.

After more than a year of investigation, doctors’ visits, dozens of “specialists” and any so called remedy suggested we are left with too few answers. We know what some of the issues are but not enough to formulate a plan of attack any doctor can agree on. The only consensus from our local doctors seems to be that this is completely out of their depth. It is now recommended we go to the Mayo Clinic to see their specialists and seek proper treatment. Meanwhile, my wife lives in agony and life unravels around us. My children want to know why mommy is in bed all the time and always in pain. We all want to know.

With me having to spend most of my time taking care of my wife and young children our new business has been crippled. Our bank accounts and all our reserves have been completely depleted. Our family is now in crisis and rapidly losing hope. Our closest friends have selflessly given us what they can so we may eat and keep our electricity on but this is not sustainable. Shockingly, we have found the wealthy people we know too afraid to part with any of their excess to save a family so desperately in need.

I now look to the kindness and generosity of strangers, pleading for help. Above all I want to get my wife the help she needs. I need to work so I can provide for my family. I need to pay off our debt so we aren’t choking on credit card bills, medical bills and completely destroying any future our children might have. I need to pay for the medical care she needs which means going out of state to the Mayo Clinic and our insurance will not pay for a dime. Our health insurance only provides coverage in our state.

We are now $43,000 in debt. We have very little income due to me being a fulltime caregiver. I need to pay someone to help my wife while I work and hopefully salvage our business. I need to raise money to travel to Minnesota for a one week stay at Mayo. I need to raise money to pay for those doctors since I have not help from the insurance we have paid thousands for. My prayer, my hope, my plea is that somehow we can raise $70,000 to make this happen.

 

I have nothing left. Nowhere to turn. Please help.

 

Thank you.

Couple Could Use Your Help

Hi there. My name is Rick. I’m sharing the following in hopes that someone will feel touched/lead to help my wife Sandra and I. Back in 2013 I was working as a caregiver, when I starting experiencing pain in one of my knees. I found out through a series of checkups that I had arthritis in that knee. It wasn’t too much longer in time that I developed arthritis in the other knee. It ended my work career, and I was out of work for one year. Lots of phone calls to work out payments with creditors. My wife was working at that time, thankfully, so we kept up on bills as best we could. I did get disability after some time, and we tried to get caught up on things. Sandra fully retired in June of 2018. So, we come forward to 2018. In December my wife took a fall, within our home, and hit her head into a wall, very hard. I had to have her taken to a local hospital by ambulance. She was then transported to another hospital, to handle her situation. She fractured 2 vertebrae in her neck, and 3 in her upper back. They tried to have bones heal with a long neck/back brace on her for about 4 months. They then did x-rays and found that healing had not happened. 4/26/19 they did the first of 2 major surgeries on her neck, and the 2nd surgery was done on 4/30/19. She was in this hospital for 7 days, then came home. I am the primary caregiver at home, as I was for that 1rst 4 month period. The result so far is that we are paying on 2 different hospital bills, and on an ambulance bill. We have not gotten a total hospital bill, as to her 7-day stay, so that will bring about one more payment. We are trying to keep things paid up but could use some help. I’m also trying to catch up on some credit card balances, as I was out of work for about one year, after I had arthritis, before getting disability. If you can help us, I would greatly appreciate it, and it would be a big blessing to Sandra and I. Thanks in advance.

Suicide Hospital Bill

Last month, I tried to take my own life due to depression, this being my first and only attempt. Thankfully, I was taken to the hospital and I survived. However, with the cost of the emergency room, hospital, ambulance, and psychiatric hospital bills all piling up and my parents being too poor to pay it, they told me I had to pay it. I agree with that because I made the attempt, but after taxes I only get paid $9.06 per hour, and with other expenses like toiletries and vitamins and medication, it’s a slow process. The payment dates are coming up soon! I need 317.79 by June 7th, and 1,298.48 by June 19th and I know I won’t be able to pay it off in time. Please help me. Please! I put a picture of the costs from the medical website. Please, help me out.

Credit Card/Medical Bill Help

Hello,

My name is Austin, and last year my wife and I had an incredible opportunity to introduce a beautiful little girl into this world, Lyla. During my wife’s labor, we ran into some difficulties which led into an emergency C-Section. Luckily, my wife recovered well, and our little girl is completely healthy. Fortunately, we have health insurance that paid some of the bill, however with the difficulties added in the labor, and having to remain in the hospital for 4 days after, the medical bill still had to get paid by us, so we placed it on our credit card. What I didn’t realize was how high the APR was and so the interest fees balance out our minimum payments. Right now, I’ve sought to sell some things I no longer use to help pay it off, because this is our last thing before we’re debt free. This being said, we still have a remaining balance of about $5,100 on the card left. Some of this money has been utilized to purchase groceries and gas, but most of it . I figured I’d post this to humbly ask for helm in paying this last balance off in order for my wife and I to finally begin saving money again. Thank you so much for your consideration.

The Name of Father Is Another Name For Love

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for taking the time to read this personal request.

My father is average man with 4 children who strives hard, never shy away from responsibilities, determined to give University education to every one of his children which he has successfully accomplished.
Everyone of his children has good careers and unfortunately, he now has stroke and has had mini strokes and a major one which he requires intensive medical attention abroad. Doctors have advised to take him abroad for immediate medical care.
With the problem at hand, none of the children except me (the only girl), are pulling their weight, or willing to help with finances. It now clear they do not want to participate and the burden is just on me.
In order to raise funds, I have sold some personal belongings here and there and I have been able to raise about £6000 and now requires about £31,000 and I just hope someone can help.
It is very unlike me to reach out externally for any kind of help. However, the present circumstances seemed insurmountable. Hence my appeal to those that can help to show compassion as I am at my wits end at this present time. Its my utmost desire and wish to give back the respect and all the love my dad deserves. I hope I can find someone who can help me give him this love he so much needs now.

I am willing to pay back whatever it takes if you leave your details via the same platform as long as the contributors leave their details via the platform.

I have created the following “Paypal Me” account for all donations –

Hospitalized while Volunteering Overseas – Medical Expenses – Please Help

I need to ask for help, I’ve gotten myself into a situation I thought I had planned for, and I’ve ended up in a lot of trouble and debt. My medical bills here in Thailand are already over $46,755.00 USD and I haven’t been discharged yet. I also have bills from back home in the US, although they are much less and I can get a job and pay those off when I am healed and allowed to go home.

Honestly, I planned for this volunteer trip responsibly and for a long time. I worked through University, applied and received some academic scholarships, graduated with very little debt, then worked two jobs until I paid off my student loans and saved up to go on this volunteer trip. I don’t have savings or anything after paying off my student loans and for this volunteer placement. Before arriving in Thailand to volunteer at an orphanage school, I took all the recommended vaccines, I checked in with the embassy, and I bought medical insurance which was required by the contract to volunteer. I mention this so that you can see I had planned to be personally responsible for myself and not be a burden or reckless.

So why do I have medical bills?

The insurance company will not honor their policy, they say for two reasons. They claim I was involved in a dangerous activity, as the motorbike operator who caused the accident falsely claimed I was driving the motorbike and not on the bus which is untrue. He gets a new motorbike out of doing so. My personal bag and passport could not be found at the scene of the accident and I was knocked unconscious, so I could not identify myself to the first responders. The insurance company was not notified within 48 hours, and I was unconscious longer than that, during which time medical treatments were carried out without their approval or knowledge, and that negated the policy.

Incident: That morning I was on a songthaew, and open air type of bus, on the way to the orphanage school to volunteer as an English teacher, when a motorbike ran into the back of the bus I was on. I was standing at the back with other adults so children could sit. I was thrown off the back and apparently into the motorbike, however I was knocked unconscious and I woke up in hospital.

The owner of the motorbike said I had rented his bike, and placed a claim with the police department. He took my passport from the accident scene, claiming I gave it to him when I ‘rented’ this bike. The logic here is missing – I don’t know how to ride a motorbike, I was going to teach a scheduled class so I couldn’t have used the bike that day to go anywhere even if I knew how to ride it! My personal bag with passport and wallet was ‘missing’ from the accident scene, so at first the hospital didn’t know who I was. The motorbike owner is claiming in his police report I owe him for the motorbike to the tune of 29,000 baht (about $900USD) and because I did not get the contacts from others on the bus for their account of the accident or photos from the scene as I was unconscious, I can not back up my side of events.

I don’t yet have the final bill for the hospital as I am still here, the English speaking nurse showed me the bill in Baht and did the conversion which was almost $47,000USD on Monday. I started to cry.

This was supposed to be a lovely way to give back some of my talents and teach children who didn’t have much, as I didn’t either growing up and education really gave me opportunity and community. Being at the school was amazing for me, but this accident has turned into a nightmare.

I am including a photo of me and my students, as well as a shot of some of my injuries healing and the type of songthaew (bus) I fell from. The doctors had to shave some of my hair off because of the head injury, so I’m a bit emotional about a selfie right now.

I will update this with a selfie and the final medical bill when I get it.

If you can help at all, all I can say is I would be humbly very, very grateful. Thank-you and many blessings.

Need Help Paying Materinity Bills

My wife gave birth to our first child recently & because of an issue with her employer, her health insurance ended without her knowledge just days prior to giving birth. The hospital recognizes that she did nothing wrong, but after pleading her case for her, the insurance company still declined to pay. They were able to find us help but it still left us with about $5,000 to pay. They have given us an extension & I managed to make about $1,500 selling things. Things I loved, some irreplaceable family heirlooms, but my family comes first. Our savings has been virtually non-existent since we found out a baby was coming & right now it’s just my salary, the bulk of which is going to rent & utilities. About the only way we could save from my pay is by cutting out groceries. We’re just about $3,500 short of getting rid of this nightmare debt.

Getting this bill off our backs would be a great relief & it’s getting harder to hear her crying every now & then because she thinks it is her fault that this happened & that if she went back to work before she’s ready everything would be okay. She’s not ready & honestly paying for childcare for a newborn would create another mess, & I can’t take her away from our baby when they both need each other so much. I’d attach a more personal photo but my wife doesn’t know I’m doing this & I am trying to keep things as anonymous as possible, knowing this will probably hurt my chances here. I know a lot of people need help & I don’t profess that we’re any more deserving of generosity than others. If you can help, please do. Thank you.

Final Transition Surgery!

My name is Aydian. I’m doing this to ask for help because I’ve ran out of options. If you can’t tell by the title i am female to male Transgender. I have been my whole life which hasn’t been easy as I am the middle child of 5 and not accepted by a lot of my family. I’ve been on my own since for years now. The most supportive person in my family was my mom. But financially she couldn’t even support herself. I helped pay her bills since 2008 when I was still in school. My mom opened bills in my name and since then they have been been put into collections leaving me living paycheck to paycheck go negative in my bank account every two weeks just to pay these payments. Since then she has passed away at 43 years old on 1/15/2019 leaving me with all this debt. And I live with my disabled non verbal autistic brother that takes most of my money each paycheck from his medical expenses. I’ve been on hormones for 3 years almost that I’ve been able to pay for because that’s the cheapest part of my transition. I’ve had my top surgery that I’m currently doing payments for on a credit card out of pocket. I’ve tried insurance,credit cards,everything to try and find a way to get the money for my final surgery but it’s to much money for insurance or a credit card. The surgery is $120,000 dollars. Since insurance won’t cover any of it. The surgery is called Phalloplasty. I’ve had an appointment with the surgeon that will be doing it but even he said he only had a couple people have insurance coverage for it. My insurance is through my work which I’ve even tried to ask them to cover it but they denied it. I work 160+ hours every two weeks as a provider for special needs individuals. I work 7 days a week and that does help at all I’m stressed to the point I cry and scream because I see myself as a failure I would never ask for help if I wasn’t needed but so I can finally feel happy in my life and pay for my brothers medical bills I need to get mince covered first

I will be forever grateful of anything.

Thank you to anyone that will help!!!

Desperate but hoping

My story isn’t the most moving, but I’m running out of options. I can only hope that even a few of those reading this may be willing to help.

I have been struggling with bipolar 2, anxiety and panic disorder, and PTSD for a long time, though diagnosed officially 6 years ago. I’ve been through various programs, to various psychiatric facilities, see a therapist every week, and a psychiatrist every few months.

I am working hard on being able to manage it, and to be able to function as well as anyone else. Unfortunately, I have had 15 jobs over the course of the last 6 years because when the episodes hit me, I’m unable to handle it, and lose the job. I’m really close to my music therapy degree, but have had to drop college more than once for the same reason.

Debt and bills are piling up. If I can pay off all the debt, and get my bills under control, that would be a wonderful relief. Medical bills, college loans, rent, utilities, etc.

There’s a mental health program that keeps patients there for a month or two that I believe could be extremely beneficial. They assist in everything from counseling, medication, and cbt/dbt classes to being there to help you learn how to better manage the symptoms and illness within work and school environments with the goal of helping you become a functional member of society. This program does not take insurance, however. It’s private pay and costs $49,000 a month.

I’ve tried a lot. All I want to do is get better, find ways to manage it all that’ll work, and be a functioning person. School can come after things are in order, and then I’ll be able to help others. Between the debt and the program, I’d need between $60,000 and $100,000. But to be honest, right now, I’ll take any help I can get.

The picture is of a screenshot from the website for the cost. I can provide pictures of the bills and debts as well if needed.

I’m sorry for the trouble. Thank you, even for just reading this far.

I hope you have a great day.

I’m terrified, please help me

My name is Kylie. I’m an eighteen-year-old college student raised in an extremely Christian household with a conservative family. I’m sexually active and I recently found out that I’m pregnant, even though I always use protection. I’m so insanely scared. I’m already struggling to provide myself with student loans and car payments and insurance and food and my job barely pays minimum wage. My medical insurance doesn’t cover abortions. There is absolutely no way I can support a child, and I know if I go to my family for help, they will force me to keep the baby while not offering me any backing. I can’t do this on my own. It will destroy my future.

I know this is asking for a lot, but I’m desperate. I don’t want my life to be ruined by one mistake, and I’m scared my parents will disown me if they find out I’m pregnant. Since my school year is almost over, that means I won’t have anywhere to live in the summer. I can’t end up pregnant at a women’s shelter. I don’t have any friends nearby where I go to school, and I’ve lost all of my high school friends to stay with. I’m so scared. I don’t know what to do. I can’t tell the father. He’s not well off either and I don’t want to put any pressure on him and I don’t want him to try to convince me to keep it or try to marry me because it’s the ‘right thing’.

I’m so scared that this will be the end of any life I had planned, the end of both of our lives. I’m studying to become a nurse and I’m almost done with my first year. I’m about eight weeks pregnant now and I’m trying really hard to afford the pill, but it feels like my paycheck is gone before I even see it. Please help me, if you can. I don’t know what to do. At my nearest clinic in Texas, an EMA costs almost $700. I don’t have much time before I can’t get an abortion at all in my state. It’s illegal at twenty weeks, and at sixteen, it has to be at a hospital and will cost thousands of dollars. It feels like my life is falling apart. I’m so scared. Please help me.

Help Maria Beat Brain Cancer

PLEASE DONATE NOW!!!

Maria Johnson started life as an ordinary child up until her teens when all of a sudden her life changed for the worst and she developed a large Tuma in her head and neck.
She went through sevearal major surgeries to remove the cancer and had nerves taken from other areas of her body to replace feeling in her neck and cheek leaving her severly scarred for life down one side of her body. Even with all this going on she fought through it all and had been cleared of the cancer untill she recently hit 50yrs old.
Maria kept getting dizzy spells and repeatidly went to her GP to complain about them. He was not much help and diagnosed her ear canal from her previous surgery was very narrow and caused a build up of wax that was causing the problem. She had several appointments cancled by nurses saying there was nothing in her ear, untill Maria argued the pain was getting unbearable and to do something, when they finaly did they clearded the wax giving Maria some form of releif.
However the dizzy spells remained and finally she was sent to St georges hospital to have a CT scan, this was when she got the news the dreaded tumer was back and in exactly the same place as before. Since this news she has been back and forth to the Marsden and St Georges Hospital for disscussions on the next form of action which has taken over six months for them to act. Maria has slowly become more and more fatigued.
She has been told the Tumer cannot be removed this time as its in a very dodgy place near her brain which would be too risky to opperate. So instead they have suggested chemo and medication to deal with treating only the symptoms of the cancer. This means Maria will have to live with this for the rest of her life growing slowly inside her head.
In the meantime she has a daughter aged 8 who passed out in hospital this week due to worry and not eating right because she is so worried about her mums illness. And now Maria has to give up work and can no longer collect or take her child to school as the journey is too much for her. The bills are mounting up with hospital visits – parking – rent and its all getting too much to cope with even with the small amount of benefits and grants available.

Lost Everything, Please help save us

Dear everyone who is reading this. Please help me. I am in a situation where I have to ask anyone out there for help and that is how desperate I am.

Here’s my story, a year of hardship

A year ago my mother was admitted to the hospital due to a severe asthma attack followed by a cardiac arrest. This was an unexpected medical emergency. It was so bad that she has to end up In hospital for over two months going on three. She wasn’t a citizen or resident in Australia, so her bills were in huge amount. This where our bills started stacking up, and we cannot keep up.

I had to put my life on hold on paused to perform as a caregiver for her in which all my bills were overdue and went to debt collections. I need help for both our bills to be paid.

This was the hardest decision I have to make in my whole entire life was Choosing my life or my mothers. It took me nights and days to think of what’s the right thing to do, and it came down to choosing her. No one will ever know or understand the struggle was real at the time and up to now and how it was like for us. However, the only thing I know is to choose what’s most important and that’s life. Being a caregiver and not earning any money was hard but I did it because of love, care and respect.

Today my mother is getting better and that is a massive achievement Therefore I am now looking for job but still no luck. The debt collectors are after me now to make payments asap, or it will go to illegal activity in the next few weeks if I don’t pay something and I don’t want this to happen. This is why I am writing this and seeking help. The little change you give it will help change and save us.

My mother’s bills is between $300,000 – $250,000 all for her medical bills at two hospitals.

My bills is between $30,000 – $20,000 for bank, phone, medical bills at hospital and money owes to government.

Scammed Instead of Loan for Medical Bills

Hello, I appreciate you reading this. My name is Caitlynne, I’m 23, and I am struggling right now. Over the past year and a half, I got $7850 in medical bills after a bunch of gastrointestinal issues where I was not keeping down any food and had to be hospitalized for malnourishment. I also have complex PTSD from childhood abuse which, with all the medical issues, came back in full force and I had to be hospitalized a second time due to suicidal thoughts.

To make matters worse, when I applied for a $5000 loan, I was scammed. I did my research and the company looked reputable, but I was being contacted by someone pretending to be them. They asked for a few google play gift cards after doing a “Credit boost” even though I have decent credit and their deposit ended up not going through and so I was out $1,000. The person then took almost $3,500 of my personal money out of my checking account, making me so broke I’ve barely been eating. I work as a medical transcriptionist but am not able to make enough to pay my medical bills and living expenses. I absolutely hate to be asking for money but I’m at a loss on what to do. I don’t want to apply for another loan and my parents are out of the picture. I so appreciate anything you’re able to contribute and will be sure to pay it forward once I have found my footing again.

Grandma really needs help

About 2 months my sweet loving cookie baking, feeding the birds and stoking up a strong cigarette smell grandma was now diagnosed with Stage 3 Lung Cancer. She is now 80 years old and has a long road of chemo and radiation coming. The MRIs crowd her days with constant tests, every morning She would get a good dose of chemo for about 15-20mins. She is depressed and really needs a positive look on life and to realize not everyone is bad. That people can come together. I could really use this money to take her out. To buy her high protein food, new wigs, to get her nails done, to pay her medical bills and utility bills for the next few years. It would really mean the world to me to help her and to make sure she was no longer under stress, that she was relaxed and free to do what she pleases without worrying that her SSI check was going to be the only way she would be able to get food. If I was able to cover the cost, she could finally save up for herself. She would be able to have that weight fall off her shoulders. I would take her on trips, buy her anything she wanted. I would just want to see her smile when I hand her the money, to see her cry and know she wont lose the house to property taxes or have the electric turned off. She is so caring and has always been there for everyone, I think now its time to give back to her and to show her, it’s going to be alright. My grandma is the most important person in my life, if I could do this for her. It would complete me. I just want enough to make her comfortable and be able to cover the cost of her bills just long enough.. for her to pass. To make her old painful age sweet. I want to give her the dream my grandma wanted to give to her before she passed on, to show her that there is still faith in this world and to comfort her and let her know that when she leaves this world, her family will be taken care of and to carry on her name. To show her that grandpa is waiting for her on the other side of that white light. She is my world. Please help me make this a reality.

Goal: 300/2,500$ needed to help her so much, any amount helps please.

I do not know what to do!!

Hello my name is Micaela and this is my first time asking for help. I am in debt and I really do need some help.

It started about four years ago when my mother passed away when I was 27 and it was a really hard time. After that I have been getting bad anxiety and even going beyond and having depression so bad that I was hospitalized for a couple of days and even thinking about suicide. Luckily I have been getting great help from my family and friends and I do not have those tendencies. Now with going to doctors, medication, hospital stay, loans I have put my debt up to $20,000. Now I wouldn’t mind paying this bill little by little, I do have a job but right now, I do not have the resources to pay my bills, rent, groceries, gas, car payment at the same time. I am going to be 31 years old soon and I live with my sister, brother-in, her two children and my father. I have never lived in my own before and with this debt, I cannot even think about living on my own for a very long time.

I do not want to be a burden to my family and I have already asked for what I need and I do not want my sister to spend what little money she has on me and instead give it to her family and our aging father.

Like I said, I have never asked for money from anyone because I am not a begging person but I am pleading to you to help me out. I know I need a lot of money but right now with bills being due soon, I will take anything.

If you decide not to donate, I completely understand. There are others who are in more dire need than me. All I ask for you to read my post and see if you can help in any way or form. Thank You.

Donations for Alternative Medical Treatments- Verified Documents

My name is Andrea, will not provide last name until I trust this site a little more. I’m 27 years old, I’m a full-time college student, and I cannot work until my chronic pain diminishes or decreases. I would have dropped out by now but the measly amount of financial aid I receive is enough to pay my bills and see a few doctors. My story has been documented by the online newspaper, MotherJones. I’ll retell my story here and provide the link to my verified story.

In October 2016, I was injured badly through the Amazon warehouse. I have multiple disc herniations, carpal tunnel in both wrists, and TMJ. Over time, these injuries have caused me fibromyalgia and I now have chronic pain and inflammation from morning to night. I wound up receiving a small settlement from Amazon which I used to fund a chiropractor, a physical therapist, a massage therapist, and a natural medicine doctor who practices acupuncture, herbal treatments, and something called Chuna and Acumata. After 7 months of treatments, my settlement is now done. these treatments have been working very slowly. I’m still in constant pain and need to continue treatments for at least another 3 months. I have calculated what the total would cost and it would be at least $4,610. The most important doctors are the natural medicine doctor and the chiropractor. Everything else can wait. In total, the cost is $5610 .

Natural Medicine Doctor – Deal of $2,950.

Acumata – $82.99 – 28 sessions (3 sessions a week). Promotes blood circulation within organs.

Chuna – $45.99 – 10 sessions (2 sessions a week). Stretches muscles and tissues and promotes strengthening.

Herbal Treatment – $400 (30 days worth). Promotes healthy gut and digestion.

TMJ Chriopractor Total – $1,190 – 2x a week for 7 visits

TMJ specialist/Chiropractor – $85 a session (2x a week) –  Adjusts my neck and stretches my jaw muscles and tongue muscles.

Massage Therapy – $280 monthly

Massage Therapy – $70 a session  (1x a week) = $280. – a months worth.

TMJ Dentist – No more than $470 total.

TMJ Dentist – $170 a visit – $300 for the appliance. I only need to see him once or twice for an appliance.

Physical Therapist – $720 total – $80 a session 3x a week for 4 weeks.

**This is not as important as the rest. I can’t rebuild my muscles until everything else is healed.

Please help me with funding my Pectus Excavatum Operation

I have a chest condition known as Pectus Excavatum (sunken sternum) which I noticed I developed in my teens. Having this condition affects my confidence knowing my chest is not as it should be, so called friends make fun out it if they see it, I’m not confident taking my shirt off around other people because of it and it probably does affect my cardiovascular system from having less space around my heart & lungs although I haven’t had testing to confirm this.

Living in England, UK I was offered an operation called the NUSS procedure on the NHS, which is where a curved metal rod is inserted through one side of the ribs/chest and out through the other side, underneath the sunken part of the sternum pushing/holding it upwards into a normal developed shape. This bar is then left in on average of 3 years in hope that the chest will then mould into the flat shape.

Out of fear from my thorough research of reading into it I declined having the NUSS procedure. It is a very painful operation, and devastatingly there are cases where the bar moves out of place in those 3 years and causes damage to the lungs, nerves and heart. Some people have even had the bar taken out at the end of the 3 years or so’ of having the bar in and the chest goes back to the way it was in the first place!

I obviously didn’t want to have the risk of those things happening to me so I’ve just continued to put up with it. Anyway now to get to what I am asking help with financially.

There is another operation/procedure which fixes Pectus Excavatum called Pectus Up/Taulinoplastia, which isn’t available in England, UK it’s only in Spain. This procedure is far better than the NUSS, because instead of using a bar which goes underneath the sternum sitting above the lungs & heart, it uses a metal plate which goes on top of the sternum and the sternum is pulled up and tightened into position, so there’s no risk of damage to the internal organs like the NUSS does. Like the bar, the plate could be removed after 3 years but it can also be left in forever, in which case theres no need to be worried about the chest going back to the way it was, if the chest hadn’t solidified into the shape by the time the plate was taken out. The pain & recovery time is much less than the NUSS, but as it’s not available on the NHS. It is only available on the private health care system.

I’ve been quoted it would cost around £13,000 if done by Dr. Laureano Mollins in Teknon Barcelona. I don’t have this sort of money and probably never will do by myself. So although it may be a hell of a long shot asking for help with thousands of pounds, I’m aware there are people out there who have so much money they wouldn’t even notice much of difference in their bank account if they donated thousands of pounds. Which is what I’m hoping for could be the case with me.

What I can say is I believe my life would truly change for the better if I were able to get this Pectus Up procedure done and would just love it if my Pectus Excavatum were a thing of the past. I want to be confident in my self/body and really hope that there is someone out there that could take this burden off me once and for all.

Recovery. Please help.

This is a painfully honest post… but.. I’m willing to try any option that I have. ( ethically ).

A couple years ago, while being a supervisor at one job during the week, and bartender on the weekends for another, I began to make more extreme choices in my life. At least, more frequently. I’ve always been a bit more of a “risk” than my friends.

I ended up becoming addicted to gambling. After creating myself a hole, I finally quit. I haven’t gambles in 2 years now.

I have a good paying job at the moment at $25 an hour  honestly… things have slightly gotten better, but, with bad credit and high interest rates from credit cards during my darkest times, I just can’t seem to recover

A couple months ago, I considered suicide  however l, do to my best friend, as well as having a BS in therapy, I decided to check into a mental hospital. It was a positive experience, one that seems to have changed and even saved my life. But even that came at a cost of a $3000 bill after insurance, not to mention my already existing debt.

There, I found out that I’ve actually been living a bipolar life without medication for 27 years. I am now adjusting to the medications, making clearer and better decisions, and really trying to recover from the times that pulled me down financially and mentally.

Im not saying I deserve anyone’s help, but I am begging. This suffocating feeling of not being able to clear up a couple things in my past to allow me a brighter future has been a true depression pit of my life.

My goal is $5000, however, ever dollar counts  even 1 dollar.

 

If anyone one who sees this is willing to help someone making an effort to recover, even if not deserving, I would greatly appreciate it beyond what I can describe

 

if you have taken the time to read this, thank you

 

i added a picture of my face, so that you can have a face for the person begging you.  Again, thank you for your time

Financial Assistance for Medical needs.

22nd March 2019

I have had ongoing health issues and have not been able to work for 5 years. I live in a regional area and have to travel back and forth to the nearest city which is 500kms away in Western Australia to a larger hospital for medical reasons to see Specialists that I am currently under for medical conditions and needing treatment.

Due to not being able to work and having to travel often for medical reasons this has put me in great debt in excess of $40,000.Not all treatments are covered as in having to have biopsies and minor cancer surgeries that are costly. More biopsies may be needed which means more financial cost with money I don’t have.

As I have severe obstructive sleep apnea who I am under a Sleep and respiratory Specialist for.  I need to be able to buy a CPAP machine and equipment to help me sleep and to get the oxygen through so I can sleep as currently I wake up 36 times an hour as I stop breathing and without it I have a high chance of having a heart attack or stroke.

I am also under a Neurologist for nerve pain and Migraine treatment in which I also have to travel back and forth to the hospital in Perth for.

I am not able to drive to Perth as my vehicle needs a lot of mechanical work done it, which would be around the minimum of $1500. I am also not able to drive on my own being long distance due to my medical issues. I also need my vehicle repaired so I can get to my hospital visit in my own town and for medical tests and local doctor visits.

I have had to borrow money off a few people which I am not able to pay back in my current situation at this time which makes things even harder.

I also need to find $1000 in the next week to get cancer cells cut out.

Any financial assistance would be of great help and greatly appreciated.

Thankyou , for your time.

Too Many Curveballs

My dad killed himself a few years ago and ever since then it has been hard on my family. My mom has been trying her best to take care of my younger siblings, but sometimes she just can’t handle it.

My husband and I decided to move closer to home to help her out and for my husband to finish school. So he was working part time and going to school for a little while. I struggled to find work for two months, but eventually did. Now I work full-time. However, during our move and me not working and taking care of the kids we racked up some credit card bills.

A few months after moving here my car was totaled. It was parked on the street in front of my house and one night a drunk driver plowed right into it (he was on the wrong side of the road). The police, fire fighters, and EMT all told me he was drunk at the scene (and you could clearly smell alcohol on him and just tell by his demeanor). However, when the police report came back they said he had just fallen asleep at the wheel. So I was furious, and lawyers told me I probably wouldn’t recoup anything more than what insurance would pay. He was driving a company car and it did have insurance, but they did not want to give us the company name or anything. So I ended up claiming the loss on my own insurance, so I did receive money from it, but it took almost 5 months. My husband and I have been sharing a car ever since.

The money that I got from my car settlement should have gone towards buying me a new vehicle, but instead it went towards helping my mom and trying to keep us caught up on rent, food, and other necessities.

Not long after the car incident, my sister tried to kill herself by overdosing. I came home and rushed her to the ER where they kept her overnight and insisted she be sent to  a mental hospital since she was a minor. They said they HAD to transport her in an ambulance to the other hospital. (At the time she did not have health insurance) So on top of an ER bill, mental hospital bill, we also have an ambulance bill (which alone is over $5000).

Life keeps throwing me curveballs and I try to take them one day at a time, but I support my family and it is getting hard. I feel like I am drowning in debt, my credit has been ruined and I am trying to take the steps to rebuild it. My husband feels he cannot finish school with how things are going for us right now and I don’t want him to give up. I need a car to help ease the burden of being a one car family. So that I can get a second job and it not interfere with my husband’s, mom’s, or the kids’ schedules.

I am asking for donations to help me get enough money to buy a decent car, or put a down payment on one if I get approved for a loan and to pay some of my sister’s medical bills. I honestly never thought I would be put in this situation, but I am here asking for help. Anything would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to get at least $3000 for a car and $5000 to help with the medical bills. You can send money to the PayPal link below. Thank you so much in advance for donating.

Severe depression leading to health issues

Hello, everyone

My name is Laura, and I’m a Venezuelan living in Mexico City. Ever since I left Venezuela in 2005, I’ve suffered from a severe, debilitating depression that has not allowed me to keep a regular job and be independent. I’m 32 years old.  I make ends meet by working freelance doing transcriptions and translations, but this does not allow me to save, pay for medical insurance, or even a full rent.

For the past three years, I’ve been adrift, trying to find a purpose in life beyond taking care of my beloved dog, who is quite often the only reason I get out of bed at all. Thoughts of suicide constantly plague me, and I’ve done research more times that I care to admit on “painless” methods. However, I find myself unable to do this in a way that affects no one.

My depression was so severe, at one point I could not even take a shower for two weeks because the anxiety was just killing me. This led to me grinding my tongue against my teeth whenever I was anxious, to the point where I’ve eroded my gum nearly to the bone, and I have no way to pay for a dentist. I’m in physical pain because of this every single day.

Six months ago, in August, I had to have an emergency appendectomy, which I’m convinced was somehow caused by my stress and anxiety, since no one in my family has ever had to have their appendix removed like me.

I was going to a psychiatrist, and taking up to five pills a day to help with my various symptoms, such as constant nightmares, hot flashes, crying spells, and sudden bursts of aggressiveness. This did not help me at all, as the several pill cocktails we tried only made me feel worse, and it was just too expensive for me to afford.

I’ve been sleeping on the floor in a mattress I was able to buy on my own (proud moment for me,) in someone’s house, and this has also caused back problems.

Since I’m a foreigner, and I work freelance, I have no right to medical insurance unless through private means, and I cannot afford this. I’m asking for help to pay for medical insurance and dental treatment, although I need it for everything, if I’m being honest. Anything will help. 40144035_10160743247545414_2665601581734428672_n.jpgthumbnail_image2.jpg

Need urgent financial assistance for grandmother’s accident

I should first introduce myself. My English name is Darren. I am from Australia and I am currently in a very tight spot right now. I will explain the current situation of my grandmother and what my current intended plan is.

 

My grandmother slipped and fell last week, which resulted in her spraining and damaging both of her legs. As she is 86 years old, this is very dangerous and, if anything, almost fatal. Me and family rushed to the hospital and found out that she has to undergo an operation to fix the broken ligaments that she incurred during her fall. The operation cost $55,000 AUD equivalent. Me and my parents and some siblings have gathered and only have $36,000 AUD, leaving a $19,000 AUD remaining. My parents are not close to my uncle’s and aunts and as such, they are not willing to help. We have a very fragmented family but to me, as long as I have my brother, sister and my parents, I couldn’t have ask for more.

 

I have tried asking for loans however due to the fact that I am still a student, I cannot get that much money out as I do not have a job yet. My brother and sister are still studying and they too have no jobs. My parents are trying their best to earn and find help but it has taken a toll on both their mental and physical strength. Personally, it is hard for me to see them like this.

 

The doctors advised us that the faster the operation take place, the better the results as with each day passes, her legs becomes more swollen. I have no choice but to turn to the internet for assistance. If there is a good person somewhere, then I hope my issue can be helped.

 

I need $19,000 AUD remaining so I can treat my grandmother and get her to the operation procedure as quick as possible. Thank you for taking your time in reading and I hope I can receive assistance as soon as possible. Oh and once my grandmother have successfully completed her operation, I will also send a picture of her to the people that helped me as a thanks.

 

Here is my PayPal address: https://paypal.me/liphyeo

 

Thank you once again, and I hope a kind soul can help me in my tough times.

Love to give but now I need help.

Hi, my name is Dennis Bove. I have always been the friend everyone can count on the one person that would do anything to help whoever needed help but today I the one that needs the help. My wife and I have a son that has L-Carnitine Deficiency which means that he has to take medication every day in the morning and night. He also needs therapy for speech and physical activities so in doing so we have racked up a lot medical bills and credit bills taking care of him and trying to make him better. We also just had a new son and so far he doesn’t have the same issues as my first son but we did have to put him through a bunch of tests to make sure. So all in all we are in the hole over $6,000 and my parents have helped us a lot already so now I need to ask help from people that I don’t even know. I’m not the kind of guy who likes to ask for help but I really do need some help. Thank you

Drowning in Medical Debt

In 2017 my 1 1/2 year old got sick really sick….. I was at work, I worked a full time job as a dental assistant.  I received a call a little after lunch time from the daycare stating my daughter was has throwing up and having severe diarrhea and that I needed to come and get her. I went and got her brought her home had her drinking water and Gatorade. She wasn’t running a fever or anything else. 2 days go by and she is still having horrible diarrhea, the vomiting has subsided. I called her Doctor office and asked if something was going around or if I should bring her in. They said a lot has been going around but if you want we can do a stool sample. My gut instinct said I needed to get a stool sample done, something wasn’t right. Took her in got it done and went home and waited…. and waited….. A few days went by and then at 8:00 am I received a call from the state health Dept stating my daughter had tested positive for E. Coli  OH157 Shiga toxin. One of the nastiest strains of E. Coli, the kind that kills people.  It is very contagious, she was unable to go to daycare, I had to quit my job, she was so weak and tired all the time anyway, I didn’t want to leave her .  Every other day I would have to drive 100 miles to and from to bring the health Dept a stool sample to see if she was clear from this horrible toxin. I live in a rural area and the nearest city for the health Dept is 50 miles away. Then one night she became unresponsive, we ended up at the ER and she was being pumped full of fluids. This strain of E. Coli shits down your kidneys and that is how it kills you.  She wasn’t getting any better and her body was shitting down, so they had to life flight her to a children’s hospital. I have never been so scared in my entire life. Praying and praying that my baby would be fine. She was in the hospital for 7 days, hooked up to machines keeping her kidneys going and continuing to keep her full of fluids.  After 7 days the Dr. felt that she was well enough to be released. She tested positive for the next 4 months, which by this time I’m thinking I am the worst mother in the world because she still is infected with this. The Dr.s told me that there is no time frame on how long it can be in the body for. Over those next 4 months we visited the ER 6 times. Medical bills started coming in, along with just our regular bills but now we were down 1 income. Our health insurance did cover some cost but not all especially the life flight cost. We are now drowning $125,000.00 in medical debt. I’ve been working 3 jobs trying to keep up with just our regular bills.  I am needing help with the medical bills we incurred during this horrible time in our lives.

Hospital Bills after losing a loved one

One can only imagine the devastation and pain we feel from losing a loved one, especially the love of our life or our soulmate. I Never imagined this day would ever be a reality in our life nor has the thought been put such earthshattering event. On January 4th I lost my job and only few weeks later on January 20th, 2019 I lost the love of my life, my best friend, my life partner, my soulmate to a car accident that send him into freezing water. Due to injuries sustained from the accident and windshield being below zero that night, he didn’t have much of a surviving chance and passed away shortly after. At the time, I was at home and my heart felt something was wrong. After making few phone calls and checking with local hospital, my worst nightmare was confirmed when doctor informed me that he had passed away, my knees buckled, my heart shattered and my should ached in pain and left me unable to speak and say anything back to the doctor. I went into hysterical panic and tears and screaming is the only thing I was able to do. Sickness that came over my stomach, was unbearable, even breathing became impossible. The news not affected me emotionally and physically but also mentally. Going to the hospital to see him was the hardest thing I’ve had to do, knowing that there he was, laying on the ER table, unable to speak to me, look at me or even make eye contact and this was my last glimpse of the man I’ve planned the rest of my life with. I couldn’t stop telling him how much I loved him and how much happiness he was able to bring to my life, I couldn’t believe that I was talking to him for the very last time. I desired nothing more than to be in heaven with him and couldn’t understand how ones life so precious and so priceless be taken away in just mere seconds. I’ve asked God why numerous times in hopes to hear something in gesture of a sign but more I pleaded, deeper I feel into a dark place in my life. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t find the motivation or desire to exist. Eventually, the financial responsibilities and obligations that remained were overwhelming on top of struggling to deal with my soulmates untimely departure. Funeral cost alone neared $10,000 and Hospital bill was well over that amount. Hearts stopping life hurtle came to an astonishing $23,000 expense that I simply had no way of paying when it was all set and done. So I am here today to beg and plead with anyone willing to listen to help me in getting back on my feet. I have fallen behind on rent payments, cell phone payments, electric payments and even simple things as not being able to buy food. My mind is barely digesting loss of one person I had in this world, and now its completely up to me to try and survive this tragic event and learn to live again, for both of us. I appreciate anyone that is capable and willing to help me in my journey to get back on my feet and find myself in somewhat of a financial stable standings. Thank you for making a difference in ones life with your kind support and donation.

Medical Bills for my elderly Aunt

My 83 year old Aunt recently fell and injured her shoulder and wrist. Luckily she did not require surgery but she acquired some medical bills. Over 3000 dollars worth. My parents weren’t able to raise me so my Aunt stepped up and did the job. I just want to be able to be there for her like she has always been there for me. I lost my permanent job and have been working through a temp service making just enough to pay my bills. I almost never know if I will have work from day to day. I show up and sign in and hope I get  sent out to a low paying manual labor job for that day. Some days I get to work  and some days I do not. On the days I do not, I go and apply for permanent jobs. I have been doing this for months and I barely make enough money to pay my bills and often fall behind.  I know there are a lot of hard luck cases begging for money. But on the off chance somebody sees this and decides to help, well I just figure I’ll give it a try. Though I doubt I will be able to raise enough to pay off her bills any amount would be greatly appreciated. There is a special place in heaven for those who help strangers and I know the heavenly reward will be great for those who do.  I would love to be able to get the debt collectors off our back and be able to give her some peace of mind. So whomever may be reading this, if you are able please help. If not, may God bless you anyway. I have never done this kind of thing before and i am not even sure if it ever works but I have nothing to lose. So here goes. No it is not life threatening, but you would help me give an elderly lady some peace of mind. Thank you for taking the time to read and here my story.

Need Help Paying My Mothers Medical Bills of $50,000 Left After She Passed Away

My family and I are currently struggling to meet ends while paying off the remainder of my mothers medical bills. My mother unfortunately passed away recently due to battling a rare form of brain cancer. Her battle was long and she fought for as long as she could before it became impossible for her to continue fighting. We never gave up on her even with the doctors did, we rallied as a family and did the best we could to take care of my mother until the very end. With her passing came sorrow and grief, feelings as a family we have not been able to overcome yet, but are working towards to doing so little by little. As a family we were able to pay off some of the remaining medical expenses, but it took all of our combined savings and every last penny we had. Since then money has become tight and we no longer have any to spare to continue paying off her medical bills and barely have enough to keep a roof over our heads. We are working day and night trying to stay afloat, but we are in desperate need of help. We have about $50,000 left of medical bills to pay off along with our other day to to day expenses that are slowly piling up. Any amount of help would be greatly appreciated as we need everything we can get so we can pull through as a family. It has been a truly difficult and horrific time. If we could pay off the remaining medical expenses it would truly be a blessing and a lifesaver myself and my family. I appreciate any and all help and will be truly grateful of any donations.

My Mum has melanoma & needs $17000 per infusion to save her life

Cheryl has been denied life saving melanoma treatment. She has me and my younger brother Ben (9) who needs her. She is a single parent family. Cheryl was on the melanoma drug but a doctor took her off it, saying it wasn’t working. But an MRI later showed it had been working. Now Pharmac won’t fund the drug for her as she had previously been on it. She was supposed to have a year’s treatment!! She only had a few. This is stupid!!! Wrong!! Not fair!! So now Cheryl has to find $17,000 per infusion to save her life. This page has been setup for awhile now. We haven’t raised anywhere near enough. Please this Christmas find it in your hearts to give a little.

Cheryl is one of the strongest people I know, she loves her family and friends and has always been a giving, loving person. She’s also had a major fight on her hands. Almost ten years ago while pregnant with her youngest son she found out she had melanoma. She fought it and won against all the odds and Ben was her wee miracle. Not long after Cheryl celebrated five years in remission she found out that the cancer had returned. She has been battling doctors to get the treatment she needs. But Cheryl has too much to live for and refuses to stop fighting. Now that her treatment options have all been exhausted she needs the expensive Keytruda which blocks a protective mechanism on cancer cells, and allows the immune system to destroy those cancer cells. It targets the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor. It’s not funded for Cheryl. She’s always been a hard worker, devoting her life to caring for others, having cancer hasn’t held her back, she kept on working throughout all of her treatment, but now she is in too much pain, the melanoma bleeds everyday and is making it difficult for her to walk.

So we her friends and family want to help her and we need to raise as much money as we can in a very, very short space of time. Time is very precious to Cheryl.

Cheryl is a single Mum to me and my younger brother Ben. Ben is only nine years old and he really needs his Mum in his life. There is no other option for Cheryl, this is why she has been winning the fight for so long. She is a battler and refuses to give up. We refuse to let her down. So everyone please give a little to Cheryl.

Use of Funds:
Funds will be used for Cheryl’s very expensive melanoma treatment and for her to use as she needs, with her associated costs and living expenses. She may also want to use the funds to create some memories with her family.

Medical treatment needed – not covered by insurance

I have been having chronic pain issues since 2003. I have seen many specialists who have had no idea why or how this issue started. I was diagnosed with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy in 2014. I am currently having a bi-monthly infusion which dramatically slows down the effects of Muscular Dystrophy. My liver stopped producing a much needed enzyme. I have been looking for a specialist for several years who would be able to help me. For the first 3.5 years, I was responding terrifically to the infusion therapy, but in July of 2018, I started having major side effects. Severe increase in chronic pain. Chest pain due to infusion. Edema in ankles and feet. Water blisters forming, popping, and creating sores that have gotten infected very quickly, but using antibiotics to fight. I’ve had to go to the emergency room fearing that I was having a heart attack. My heart was ok. The heart, so far, is healthy and did not suffer a heart attack. The infusion is putting a strain on my body. The doctors are giving so many drugs. I started gaining weight. I eat very lightly and although I do not have diabetes, I am on a diabetic diet, but still gaining weight. It is not easy to exercise due to the Muscular Dystrophy, but I struggle to walk for 15 minutes twice a day. The infusion keeps me out of a wheelchair which I fear would put more strain on my family. I have found a specialist who is able to restore the missing enzyme to my liver that would allow me to stop the infusions, and over time, might help me to walk better. As you can imagine, they don’t offer this for free. One treatment is $5000 and I need 8 treatments which is $40,000. We were in the Irma hurricane and our roof was damaged. We were on a waiting list to get our roof fixed and just got that fixed at a cost, after insurance, of $7000. We then, unfortunately, suffered another setback due to our house’s previous owner. The shower floor tile was not done properly and the tile had cracked. By the time it broke where we could see it, water had already damaged inside of the wall behind the tile. Our best bid to repair is $3,500. We had a guy come in, start the job and said he required half the payment after ripping out the shower. We didn’t want to pay upfront, but were forced to. He came back the next day and put all of his equipment back in his van and left. We are now stuck with our shower torn apart and needing someone to fix it. We have never lived above our means but unfortunately keep getting hit by unexpected things that puts a heavy financial burden on us. We have one son who is 14 and is trying to earn money to help. We have never been irresponsible with money. We did have a great credit score and have taken out a loan to cover the roof and now trying to cover the shower. We don’t have equity in our house. When we bought it, the owner didn’t do his due diligence in reporting the issues of the house and the inspector, unfortunately, didn’t do his job properly. We found, after closing, that we had to repipe the house at a cost of $5000 and then the A/C went out and cost another $5000. We had to replace the A/C and the ducts. We found that the previous owner neglected this house and had “beautified” it for sale. We thought an inspector would catch these things. We thought we had a reputable inspector. We failed at that and it really set us back. With these issues, I am trying not to fall into a dark place. I have never lived my life asking for help, but have always been the one to help others. I am having to swallow my pride and ask for help. I don’t want to lose my legs or worse, die of complications from the infusion. I do feel desperate and am asking for people to help me find someone who is able and willing to help. I have found a person who is willing to match any money that I raise up to $20,000. If I can raise $20K, he will take care of the rest. If I Raise $10K, he will match it. Half the treatment would help, but it would be a gamble. I am at the point that I will gamble if I can’t fully support it, but I will do my best to find the funding. Please help me by sharing. If you can not donate, I will be so happy if you can only share this so that I can maybe reach somebody who is able to help and if that someone wants to meet me and go over my needs in person, I am willing to meet with them. Thank you so much!

An Invisible Illness Requiring Surgery

Dana lives with a chronic, invisible illness. When she was in high school, she began having severe migraines and having a tremendous number of painful symptoms—enough to cause her to miss so much school, she had to complete earning her high school diploma through the Hospital Homebound program while her doctors tried to figure out what was going on. They didn’t, and despite the challenges, she was accepted to Clemson University and in the fall of 2011, she moved into her dorm. Within a few days, before classes even started, her symptoms became so debilitating, she had to move home immediately.

Doctors did an MRI and found a Chiari malformation—meaning her skull is too small for her brain, blocking a regular flow of spinal fluid. She also had a papilledema pressing against her optic nerves, causing blindness. The third of her trifecta was a pseudotumor—giving her all the symptoms of a brain tumor even though there isn’t actually one present. She was rushed into emergency surgery to decompress swelling in her brain from excess spinal fluid. She was bedbound for over a year for recovery and completely dependent on caretakers. Doctors eventually installed a lumboperitoneal shunt in her lower spine to help regulate flow of spinal fluid, but even that wasn’t effective immediately. Not long after she finally recovered, symptoms returned and Dana had another emergency brain decompression surgery, followed by another long period of recovery.

On the outside, Dana looks fine. What people don’t see are the migraines that come every night, the depletion of energy after even the smallest of tasks, her inability to take more than one or two classes per semester because of the workload, or even her inability to hold a job because of how many doctors she still has to see on a regular basis and her health being so unpredictable, she would be deemed an unreliable employee.

Within the past year, her health has started to decline again. She gets migraines regularly, has a hard time completing small tasks, difficulty with auditory processing, lost her ability to safely drive. A few months ago, she started describing what feels like a “puddle” on top of her brain.

Now that she’s an adult, her pediatric neurosurgeon can no longer treat her, so we have found a new one. In December, Dana had another MRI and a new technology called an MRI Cine which showed her spinal fluid is still being blocked by her cerebellar tonsils hanging too low, causing her brain to sag towards her skull. He believes this could be due to her LP shunt (most Chiari patients have a VP shunt installed but Dana’s ventricles were too small), so he’d like to do surgery to clamp off that LP shunt. After that, it’s likely he will schedule her for another brain decompression and install a different shunt in her spine.

This surgery is high-risk. Most Chiari patients have one decompression surgery and Dana has already had two. Going in for a third time means the neurosurgeon will have to cut through scar tissue buildup that may have formed so thickly, it could potentially be attached to her skull.

MEDICATION is needed but can’t Afford

I never knew it would come to this..I’m grateful you are taking the time to read my reason for asking for money.

((MOSTLY FOR NATURAL MEDICATION)) for my panic attacks.

I’m Bradley I’m on Aish for F.A.S.D. which I suffer from P.T.S.D. High level Panic attacks and Slow learning also mild A.D.H.D. and O.C.D. and with all these illnesses its difficult to hold jobs even though I have ” a will ” to work, when I was working I was ok.. But my panic Attacks got so bad I couldn’t leave my home without taking my Anti-panic pill.. ( which I’m not a fan of ) I’m a Anti-Chemical type guy I want to do it all natural ways.. so sometimes my attacks are so strong I faint or get super dizzy and can’t breath its not a good time, So now I must stay away from working and stay close to home and stay calm and stress free.

which now I must rely on Aish to keep my alive and a roof over my head bills paid.. And I hate to inform you all but its not enough for an Adult male to live healthy and food stocked and rent & bills paid.. I’m grateful to be on Aish but their is alot of people like me that is not being able to keep up with our yearly living, I’m lucky if I have enough money left over after rent and bills for food and cellphone I shouldn’t have to explain about bills we all pay monthly they are always high amounts to pay..

my energy bill monthly is $180.00 rent$1200 cell$100 home-internet$100 I’m lucky the roommate pays the gas which I still have haven’t added food on my list .. Aish pays me $1680.00 monthly but I must pay government back so they take $150.00 off my Aish for 13 years so after the Government deduction I get …………..((((($1530.00 monthly)))) I have no money to leave my home if I wanted too.. I must taxi it everywhere since buses and trains trigger my attacks which doesn’t help my money situation, In the END I have no money to buy my Anti-panic Attack medication after I pay everything my Medicine is $250.00 to $180.00 a small drops bottle.

CBD is very important to me because its all natural and it keeps me free and able to slowly go back into the public places with a lot of people again and not suffer an attack..I hated being cooped up in my home for YEARS not able to go places without the fear overhead for having an attack, on a sunny day I couldn’t  leave because the light and heat would trigger my attack.. so I always had someone with me when I shopped for food ..I hate being baby-sat ..CBD gave me back my life.. no more babysitters for me..

please help if your able I know I’m not special but I do need my MEDICATION and its not covered.

Emergency chiropractic care

I am a 24 year old college student with a 4 year old daughter. For the past year I’ve been paying over a third of my income on babysitting for my daughter while I attend classes. After paying all my bills I’m usually left with a little over $100 for food for the entire month. This has caused me to struggle financially for the past year (I am now in debt because I got a credit card out of desperation to buy food). We have been buying most of our food at the dollar store for a long time now.

We are about to be in a better situation, thankfully, because my daughter’s dad is finally able to move across the state to live with us because got a better paying job offer over here. He will also be able to watch our daughter while I’m in class because his hours will allow for that. This will lift a huge financial from my shoulders.

However, this last month has hit us really hard. My pelvis has been out of place four about 5 months, causing quite a bit of discomfort. I have just put up with it because I couldn’t afford to pay for a visit. But within the past month it has turned into extreme chronic pain (probably because I left it untreated so long). I have state insurance that does not cover chiropractic care for adults 20 and over. I was finally able to afford to go one time about a month ago, but the chiropractor said that it would probably require several visits since it’s been out of place so long.

On top of all that, it’s my daughters birthday this month and we are already about to run out of food. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to get her anything for her birthday. I feel terrible about that because she’s very excited for her birthday and keeps asking what we are going to do for it.

We really just need to make it to next month when we will be saving money from not having to pay a babysitter and when my boyfriend will have gotten some income from his new job. I hate to even do this, but I also look forward to paying it forward when I am able to in the near future. Thanks so much for taking the time to even read this.

Kidney Transplant Medical Expenses

Angel Catalán is 41 and has been battling Renal Disease for 13 years now. He is at the last and final stage of kidney failure, because of this he will be needing a transplant soon. Thankfully the Lord has placed a compatible donor in Angels path. If everything goes well, he will be called in a couple of months to get a date for his transplant. Angel will no longer able to work due to him having started his process with PD dialysis. Were hoping that with help from the community online and through fundraisers, we can raise enough money to help cover the cost of the transplant. 

His story 

      Angel Mejia Catalán is 41 years old. He has three smart and wonderful kids, and a beautiful Wife that he has been married to for 20 years. His family has been with him through it all every step of the way. His children are all full time students. His youngest daughter is 15 and she is a freshman, his son is 17 and will be a senior next year, and his oldest daughter is 18, she attends Sandhills Community College and has been accepted into UNC Chapel Hill. 

      Angel has always worked hard to pay off household bills and insurance payments, but recently Angel has undergone surgery to get a catheter to start Peritoneal dialysis and those who have had this or have it know that working a heavy duty job is impossible. Because of the catheter, he is no longer able to work as he has strict doctors orders that he cannot lift more than 10 pounds. 

     Angels life has always been a struggle as he has had to work extremely hard to become a U.S Resident with the process taking more than 5 years. He’s worked countless hours to save the little money he’s made to get his U.S Residency. In the U.S if you are an illegal immigrant getting a transplant isn’t possible, but due to his hard work and determination he has now been a U.S Resident for two years. Because of his U.S residency he has now been able to continue his process with his kidney transplant. 

       Now after 13 long and strenuous years Angel now has a compatible donor that God has placed in his path and he will be able to receive a transplant but the cost of the transplant is something that Angel alone or with his wife’s help will not be able to cover the cost of. Which is why we’re  asking for help from as many people as we can get to donate or share this with their family, friends, or strangers with a caring heart. 

      We’d be very grateful if we could get as much help as possible either by prayers, sharing, or donating. Together with your help he’ll be able to get a transplant and be on his path to recovery. 

 

Thank you

-Mejia Rodriguez Family

Thank You for Reading

I am a 41 year old single woman. I am in need of assistance to get out of debt so that I can move forward toward my goals and get my life back on track. I have been through a lot during the past year and no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to keep my head above water.

In January 2018, I suffered a miscarriage of the only pregnancy I have ever had. Just six weeks prior, my fiancee had broken up with me and I have never heard from him since; he doesn’t even know I lost the baby. The day after I miscarried, I was rushed back to the hospital because of hemorrhagic bleeding and had to undergo emergency surgery and receive a blood transfusion. That was on a Wednesday. On Friday, I received notice that my job had been terminated at the company I had worked at for 13 years. I fell into a deep depression and things were really bad for a while. In July 2018, I was able to obtain a new position making much less than my previous job. I have also been working a second job on-line to make up the difference.

During the time I was unemployed, I fell behind on my car payments and I am at risk of my car being repossessed. I am one month behind in rent and don’t have the extra money to catch up. I am paying my electric and water one month past due perpetually. I am in debt to the IRS and my student loans are in default. I am trying to get a deferment on student loans. I don’t have credit card debt and I am thankful for that. I cannot get a loan because of my credit troubles. I don’t have the money to add another monthly payment to the IRS to help resolve that debt. I can’t pay the hospital or ambulance service from the miscarriage. I just want to be able to breath easy again. I am trying as hard as I can.
