Hello to anyone reading!

My name is Charles and I currently have a significant need for financial assistance. I have tried so many different outlets for help but have accepted the fact that I may need to rely on strangers at this point. I stumbled upon this website after searching the internet for any means of seeking donations and figured I would give this a shot.

Towards the end 2020, the company I worked for at the time was permanently shut down due to COVID, and it has been a financial struggle for me ever since. Prior to that, I was smooth sailing in almost every aspect of my life, and was reaching one goal after another, until things took an ugly turn when I lost my job. It has been an uphill battle for me ever since, and for nearly the last couple years my expenses have exceeded my income each month, as its been difficult to find a sustainable work opportunity. As a result, I’ve worked two jobs at times and have taken on any reasonable measures possible just to pay for the roof over my head, drive to and from work, and have food on the table, one day at a time.

Fortunately, as a result of hard work and persistence, I’ve recently found a new position within the last few months in my career path that will offer me long-term stability. I am still, however, a far walk from financial freedom, still living paycheck to paycheck for the time being, and have tons of debt to clean up in order to get current with my bills and repair my credit score. I am trying to move into my own place in the foreseeable future, and these are some of the steps I must take in order to make that a reality.

Some of my bills include outstanding debt from my college as well as hospital bills going back to last year. But the biggest need for my donation is the money it takes to put gas in my car and pay for my meals every day, because after paying my regular bills each month (rent, utilities, car, insurance, etc.) I am often left with nothing to spare for food and other essentials.

As I mentioned before, I do have a bright future, and will eventually receive a promotion with my current company once I’ve been employed for 6 months, but I’m still in a very difficult situation for the time being and have a financial mess to clean up.

For these reasons, I am asking anybody out there for help in the form of donations…I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks so much!

Hello world. I have a rather fraught history with medical bills. My story starts when I was 3 months old. I started having seizures at 3mo and they continued until I was 26. They got worse with puberty and from then on it was a losing battle. All my doctors when I was young told my parents that they were idiopathic. Basically, they had no idea what was causing them. After puberty I was taken to the hospital almost every time I had a seizure. My doctor would send me to the ER to get CT scans done and make sure that my brain wasn’t being damaged. I spent about 1 day a week in the ER FROM AGES 14 – 22. At 22 I finally found a doctor who believed me enough to run a bunch of tests. We did all sorts of labs and workups and they found nothing. Then my OBGYN decided to run an ovulation test where we monitored my cycle and such for a year. Now, my cycle could be 2 weeks apart or 6 months. They discovered I had PCOS (there were a ton of cysts on my ovaries) and that I wasn’t ovulating. So they decided to do an allergy test and lo and behold, I’m allergic to estrogen. The doctor told me that 22 was too young to have the necessary surgery. I had to wait until I was 26 and even then the doctor was hesitant. I ended up getting a total hysterectomy which, thankfully, stopped the seizures. The surgery threw me into surgical menopause. That’s right, at 26 I was going through menopause. After the seizures stopped we were able to actually look at all aspects of my body. It came to light that I have fibromyalgia, a whole host of mental disorders, scoliosis, osteoporosis and that my mouth didn’t develop properly. No one paid much attention to my mouth growing up as my seizures were of a more pressing concern. My dentist has informed me that my lower jaw didn’t develop properly and that as a result, too much pressure was on my teeth in too small of an area. One day I bit down on an apple and 4 teeth just shattered. The pressure literally got to be so much that when my dentist was trying to pull the broken teeth, more were shattering. I’m 31 years old now and I have been through menopause, am trying to get fitted for dentures, have over $40,000 in medical bill debt, and have no viable option of getting out of debt anytime soon. Attached is a screenshot of my credit report that shows individual balances and which collection agency has them. There are many more pages but this is the start. At the end of this post will be a paypal link if anyone would be willing to help. I’m not expecting anything. Just being able to tell my story in the hopes that it helps someone helps me feel better. If you are willing to help, Thank you. If not, thank you for reading my story.

Hello,

My name is Teresa, I have been a Registered Nurse for over 35 years.  I have dedicated my life to caring for others. My world fell apart on 11.30.21 when I was told I have stage 4 Breast Cancer with metastasis to my spine.  What made it worse is that the cancer was missed on an MRI done in July of 2021 that my Primary doctor ordered because I had so much pain in my back.  The radiology tech knew me because she worked for me for 5 years. I thought it strange when she hugged my after the test.  My Primary doctor called me after the test and said, it is only degenerative disc disease and he referred me to a spinal doctor for injections.  After receiving 2 very painful injections into the cancer (that no-one bothered to look at), the pain became worse.  The I found a mass in my left breast in November, went to my Plastic surgeon, a good friend, who saw the mass and did a biopsy that day. Needless to say, he showed up at my home 3 days later to tell me I had cancer.  I was scheduled for an appointment with Moffitt cancer center, a 6 hour drive with a 2 month wait only to be told that I am terminal, they could only treat with palliative care .They only offered immuno therapy which is proven to shorten the life span. I have a strong faith in God. I spent days researching alternative therapies. I found an integrative Oncologist and Nutritionist to help build my plan to live with this Cancer.

I am a Nurse and I still work full time because none of my care is covered by my insurance.  I have never been sick, always ate well and thought I took care of myself.  I lost my only son 6 years ago at age 34 and left a very abusive marriage. I finally found  a good mane in 2020, then the world fell apart with COVID. I helped all my family members that lost their jobs.  I had to file bankrupt in 2021 as the bills and caring for others was too much to handle, now I have cancer and noone to turn to for help.  I did a Go Fund me account but everyone is struggling so that helped for less than 2 moths expenses.

My first great grand child will arrive in August. I pray to live long enough for him to know me and remember me,  My out of pocket expenses is over 3000 per month for Doctor, treatments, supplements, testing and clean food . I cannot get help from the government because i am not 300% below poverty line.  I am pleading with anyone who can help.  I have a list of of my regimen below. I pray God will touch your heart. Any amount will help and be so appreciated.  I dont know how much longer I can work. I have solf everything I own of value except my home as it is all I have left.  God Bless and Thank you for listening

My wife got hurt at work and we have been fighting workers comp to get her back surgery.  The process is horrible.  We have found that the people who work in hospitals are “heros” until they get hurt on the job and need adequate healthcare themselves.  They are doing everything in their power to bury us with debt.  I am trying to get it taken care of under my insurance but the deductibles are very high.  We have a $5000 deductible and $10,000 out of pocket before they will approve the surgery.  We have been robbing Peter to pay Paul for the past year and am running out of resources.  I just want her to not be in pain anymore.  I will figure out the bills, I just want to get the surgery taken care of so she can be out of pain.  The hardest thing to do in the world is watching someone you love hurt and not be able to fix it….any help is appreciated.

I know that everyone has had a pretty miserable last few years so I don’t feel particularly unique posting here but I’m hoping that there will be a few kind strangers who may be able to lend a hand. Aside from the stress of being a healthcare worker at a hospital during a pandemic the real problems started in early 2021. Neither of my in laws had been in great health before the pandemic but being completely isolated to their home due to advanced COPD between March 2020 and spring 2021 deconditioned them to a point of no return. After several hospitalizations my mother in law passed away in early May just a few weeks after turning 64 years old. My husband was devastated. We are both in our early thirties and because his family was living below the poverty line growing up he made a choice to join the military at eighteen so that he could pay for his higher education. He was in the military for six years and then in college and graduate school for another eight. He lived hundreds of miles away during that time and was only able to visit during holidays. After he finished his degree we moved back to his home state in December 2018 so that we could be closer to his family. Then about four weeks after his mom died we found out we were pregnant with our first baby. We were overjoyed. We really thought it was a sign from his mum. We told his father because we thought it would help raise his spirits and it did. He was so excited to be a Grandpa for the first time. But then in early July 2021 I started having severe cramping. We ended up at the OBGYN and found out the pregnancy was not progressing on its own. We had what is called a “missed miscarriage”. At what should have been 10 weeks pregnant my body still hadn’t started bleeding and the baby had no heartbeat. We had to induce the miscarriage with medication and tell his father I had lost the baby. That was the end of July 2021. His father was sad but I remember him saying something comforting. Something about everything having a purpose. His dad continued to decline. He was still living on his own but family would come over and stay several nights a week with him, bring him food, clean his house. His dad wasn’t getting enough oxygen for his brain at the end and would get confused or disoriented and fall several times a day. He ended up falling and hitting his head and this we believe caused a brain bleed because his orientation changed completely to the point where he had to be sedated. He died at the end of August. My husband provided end of life care for both of his parents in their home per their wishes. He became the executor of their estate after they died but they had less than ten thousand dollars in their savings account, no retirement funds, and still owe sixty thousand dollars on their house. We waited for probate between September and January 2021. During that time we had another pregnancy. I was hopeful this would be our rainbow baby but I lost the pregnancy at seven weeks. We covered the bills for his parent’s house and estate out of our own accounts during probate. We also had to clean out his parents house of all its furniture and belongings. It was a really traumatic thing for my husband to have to do three months after his dad died but we didn’t have much of a choice. We needed someone else to be living in the house renting it. We still lived about an hour away from the house so we couldn’t be there the whole time to monitor it. There was a point when we had a squatter living in the house for about two months. After that problem was resolved we had to make renovations to the house like putting in a floor in the main bedroom, and finishing a floor in dining room. Projects my father in law never got to finish due to his health declining. Total we spent out of pocket about 15,000 USD including putting in the new carpet, putting in the laminate flooring, paying the mortgage and escrow, the water, oil and electricity for that house. Then in January 2022 we found out we were pregnant for a third time. This pregnancy was closely monitored and I was put on medication and rest. Everything went smoothly. We got to see our baby’s heartbeat! I was so thrilled. At 12 weeks pregnant I told my boss and started thinking about my plan for maternity leave. Then I found out that the hospital I work at (one of the best birthing hospitals in the region I live) does not offer maternity leave. You can have unpaid FMLA for 12 weeks and you can use your saved time off to pay for leave. If you qualify for short term disability you can also use that. Due to a heart condition I suffered in Spring of 2020 I did not qualify for short term disability at my workplace and because of the amount of time I have needed to take off caring for both my in laws and then cleaning up their house in 2021 I have about 50 hours of paid time of right now in my account. This means we are planning to have a baby in September 2022 and I will have no income for at least 12 weeks. To add additional stress to the situation about two weeks ago we received a notice in the mail that my in laws had unpaid medical debt that we did not know about. They died owing 12,749.00 USD. They had been making payments of 25 dollars a month since 2013. I’ve been trying not to worry about this situation and allow my husband to handle it as my doctor has advised that I am still high risk and likely the stress of the situation won’t do me or the baby any good. But we are honestly in a really unfamiliarly shaking financial place right now and its just from a combination of all the horrible things that have happened in the last year. I guess what I’m asking for is any financial donations to help us get out of the debt we owe from paying for his parents house 15,000 USD so that I can put this towards a maternity leave fund and a baby fund. In the mean time I’m trying to save up as much money as I can while still paying for my private student loans (I owe about 56,000) and we are trying to live off my husband’s salary which is tight but okay. I’m hopeful we can negotiate with the medical debt collectors but I think it will wipe out any of the funds left in the account leaving my husband with no inheritance. I’m praying we don’t need to sell his parents house. I think it would just about kill my husband at this point. Any assistance someone can offer would be much appreciated and I’m sorry for the insanely long post. Honestly this is the first time I’ve really processed all that has happened to us. When you write it all down it sounds like an episode of a soap opera. I’ve included an image of the baby because its upbeat. Also this is the second post I had to create because I forgot to include my paypal account in the first.

Medical condition research

Hi there! I’m Matthew and I was born in 1988 and I was a medical marvel and also was diagnosed with cavernous hemangioma ( CCM ).( please look up for more information )  I am also a fraternal twins which I wasn’t getting much nutrition as he was enjoying more intake food then me. We were pushed a month early then due date due to me having complications in the lungs of fluid build up and immediately urgent C-section due to my lungs I wasn’t responding and the doctor who saved me gave me a second chance of this life today. I am 34 it’s my birthday  also which I was born on May 15th. After I was born and breathing and after surgery I was in recovery for 6 months I believe in ICU before I was sent home. I had a tumor on the back of my head which disappeared as I got older as a toddler. The Cavernous hemangioma which is a legion of bundle up veins which go from my shoulder to my head and brain area and possible tumors in the area of the legion somewhere as I don’t know a lot about it and never could get a chance to research more about it and learn more about my condition to me and my health. I want to go deeper and research on me more and possible show others the experience as i find more about it and share the story as I go. As I grew up I never really had major problems which you can  have major complications. I do have a little bit of learning disability through my school years but I got through it and graduated. Biggest reason I’m here is because I really would like to research my medical condition but I know I don’t have financial funds for it. Sometimes i feel like I’m never going to go where I want to go.  I honestly not good at asking for things because I want to achieve that myself but I’m here for your help to let me start a new adventure and learn more about my condition and possible help others and little for me around my life and again share my story as I go and get research. My goal is to find the best knowledge of doctors that know about this condition which they are still learning more about it everyday which is a rare condition in about 0.02% population. Sometimes if I really think about it I can feel it. The pressure in my head etc. I’m really happy that I have not experience anything extreme which is why I’m ready to research because I never know what day could be the day everything changes around me. I hope the best each day. Not sure what I’m seeking but if I can build a raise 20,000-100,000 to get started on research It’s going for good causes and find the best research possible. If you can get this around and share this and this can be a good start of something new and bring in a new light for me and others and possible good benefits for the doctors. I really appreciate the time you reading this and giving this a shot. To everyone who see this  god bless and thank you. If you do donate you are helping for a good deed. thank you and blessings coming back your way in time.

     I incurred an unexpected medical bill the last year of my college career when my health insurance accidentally lapsed and I began having gallstone attacks. The pain is so intense that I am never able to see past the attack. During an attack I am unable to sit still, unable to breathe through, and eventually have to just succumb to pure exhaustion of the intense pain that lasts sometimes up to twelve hours. In this time I was not only battling the illness of my gallbladder (fighting Tricare and Urgentcare staff for a diagnosis), finishing up my degree (overloading on my courses), but also planning my wedding (a 50 guest courthouse wedding, with an adorable hacienda reception). When I look back at this time in my life I can’t imagine how I did it all.

     Before I went to the emergency room for pain treatment I called the Tricare nurses hotline to confirm that I was going to an in network hospital emergency room but also to confirm that my health insurance was still open and active. I got confirmation from the nurse that my insurance was open and active, otherwise I would have just bore the pain and stayed home. I had an emergency room visit where the staff controlled my pain until it was bearable enough for me to go home. Pain management was the only treatment I asked for, however because they were under the impression that I was covered by Tricare insurance, the staff insisted that they get an ultrasound and MRI which was unnecessary and costly especially because I had already previously been diagnosed with gallstones.

     Not long after the visit I was hit with multiple bills from the hospital ER and the imaging company. The cost of having the ER bill go to collections is not only a financial strain but is also a mental weight of worry about legal action being taken against me and my belongings, and also a strain on my marriage because we are unable to collectively borrow as much money as we would like to (like to purchase my husbands grandmothers home) because the debt to income ratio is too high to be approved for any additional loans. I did try to petition Tricare to pay the bill and went through actions to have my case reviewed again by the insurance however the lapse in payment by my father was final. I do not blame him as our family was in some major financial and personal turmoil at the time as he was struggling with active addiction at the time.
