Drowning in Medical Bills

Just some background, my wife and two children live in Phoenix, AZ. All of our family lives in Minnesota, so all we have out here is ourselves and a few friends.

It all started with my wife(Kelly)  getting Covid 19 in October of 2021. She ended up being hospitalized for 2 weeks because her sodium levels dropped so much her brain began to swell which caused Covid brain or Covid fog. It was very similar to a person having dementia. She imagined things happening and people being there when they really weren’t there at all. She couldn’t be trusted by herself for the first few weeks of recovery so I had to take 2 ½ weeks off unpaid to take care of her.  She was off unpaid  until the beginning of January 2022 when she was finally able to return to work.

Even though Kelly was able to return to work when she was in the hospital they saw high CEA(cancer indicators) levels so the hunt for cancer and more doctor bills were incurred.

Fast forward to March 2022 and her brother was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and her mom was diagnosed with lung cancer.  So we went back to visit them for Easter in April of 2022. It was the last time we saw him alive as he passed away on 9/12/2022 Kelly’s birthday. We received the news while out for her birthday dinner.

Kelly had a colonoscopy in May that appeared clear, however she woke up in early August with severe pain and went to the emergency room where she was diagnosed with a blockage in her intestine that turned out to be colon cancer. She had an emergency surgery and has thankfully recovered, however she missed another month of work unpaid.

Then in late September I fell and broke two metatarsals in my right foot which ended up with me having surgery and missing a few weeks of work, unpaid.

Soon after that my Grandmother who was in hospice passed away so now we had two funerals in Minnesota 190 miles apart on the same weekend. So I went to my grandmother’s funeral and she went to her brother’s funeral.

I was able to work with some help from a friend taking me to work and a rented knee scooter but money was getting tighter. Kelly and I currently have $30,000.00 in medical bills due to Covid, cancer and a broken foot . We burned through our savings and had to start using credit cards to get by. I recently took out a $35,000.00 loan to pay off the credit card bills but now Kelly’s 82 year old mom has stage 4 brain cancer and her 92 year old dad isn’t doing well either. We managed to pay for Kelly to go help them for a few weeks while her mom was doing whole brain radiation, but it doesn’t look like the outcome is going to be very good.

We were able to get a Christmas flight for my wife and daughter to go back for Christmas but even using some flight rewards the flights cost $900 which I had to put on a credit card.

I am hoping that some kind soul or souls will find it in their hearts to help us pay off the medical bills and the $35,000.00 loan. I have been fortunate that I have good enough credit to get us this far but I fear that I will not be able to sustain the minimum payments and it will all come crashing down. With what appears to be one or two funerals on the horizon that we will have to travel for again. Any help is appreciated. All I can do is trust in our lord god to help us get through our struggle and financial strain.

May god bless you.

Desperation

Hi there,

I hope you’re having a good day. I wanted to reach out because I am currently facing a dire situation and feeling extremely worried. The sheer amount of medical expenses I have incurred has put me in significant debt. This has led to a deep sense of depression and leaves me feeling lost on how to improve my situation, both physically and financially.

The conditions affecting my health include scoliosis in my back, as well as compression in my L2, L3, T11, and T12 discs. In the past, I have undergone procedures such as epidurals and pain blocks to manage the pain, but unfortunately, the effects of these treatments now only last for a few months. As a result, my specialist is recommending fusing some of my vertebrae together as a more long-term solution.

To cope with the pain, I have been on a strong regimen of painkillers, antidepressants, anti-inflammatories, and various other medications for a considerable period of time. Regrettably, these medications have had adverse effects on the production of saliva, leading to dental issues. I have lost several teeth, particularly the ones crucial for chewing. Apart from the obvious challenge of being unable to enjoy basic pleasures such as eating steak, I have become very self-conscious about my appearance. If given the chance to restore my dental health, I promise to cherish my new teeth and continuously wear a smile, never taking it for granted.

Living alone, I often struggle to leave my house due to overwhelming anxiety. Adding to this, my family is located on the other side of the country, and I haven’t seen them in over four years. This fact makes me feel like a terrible son, sibling, and great uncle. Initially, the reason for the distance was related to concerns about Covid-19, and my anxiety towards flying has intensified the issue. However, I am determined to be there by April next year, which will mark my beautiful great niece’s first birthday. Due to my mother’s inability to travel and my sister’s family having busy lives, we have become a close-knit family despite the distance. I miss them immensely.

This is why I find myself reaching out for help. I understand that it is impossible to assist everyone, and regardless of the outcome, I genuinely appreciate the amazing work you do for those you can help. Depression is a subtle and pervasive illness, and I currently feel trapped and isolated. I do not want to remain in this state. If there is even a remote possibility of reclaiming a life where I can laugh and smile without guilt, I humbly ask for assistance in rediscovering that path.

Thus, I find myself here, hoping that someone will understand my plea and be willing to offer financial support to help me save my home, afford the necessary operation, dental treatments, and alleviate my current debt. My request amounts to $40,000.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I offer my best wishes to all those who require assistance, as well as to those who selflessly make positive impacts on the lives of others. I struggle to find adequate words to express just how much your kindness can truly change someone’s world.

Lend a Hand to a Queer Artist Far from Home: Making Art, Giving Back

Hi world,

First of all, I want to thank you for coming to this website and reading about the hardships faced by all of these people and me. May God bless your kindness. Even with just a click on the URL link, you are already a reason why this world is getting better.

I am a queer multimedia artist, a person of color in my late 20s. My journey over the past decade has been one of constant movement, relocating from city to city almost every year, each time on my own. This nomadic lifestyle, while enriching in many ways, has also been laden with its own set of challenges and hardships. I can’t remember how many times I almost lost the right to live somewhere due to the complex and frequently changing factors of visas or leases.

As I share my story with you, I hope to connect on a level that goes beyond just words and images, to a place of mutual understanding and empathy:

  • Five years ago, my parents emptied every penny of their life savings which gathered over a decade to pay my tuition fees. Yet, even this wasn’t enough,  so they had to seek additional loans from banks and almost cut off all their entertainment costs.
  • Three and a half years ago, I graduated right when the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown began. This unfortunate timing meant that my parents and my then-girlfriend missed their chance to obtain visitor visas to celebrate my graduation with me. Since that day, I have not had the opportunity to reunite with my family. To add to the hardship, two job offers I had secured were withdrawn as the companies struggled with the shift to remote work.
  • Three years ago, when I finally found a paid job and wrapped up my first day, feeling a glimmer of hope, it was abruptly overshadowed by a cold breakup text message. The uncertainty of the pandemic’s end and the strain of long-distance were too much, leaving me to face these challenges alone.
  • Two and a half years ago, all my savings went to a coast-to-coast job relocation. I had to work in person in an area where I knew no one, where there were hardly any communities of my race, and where the risk of Covid was alarmingly high. However, just two months later, the Monday right after I had driven back from a business trip to another state, I was laid off without any financial assistance. I wasn’t even able to fix a cracked tooth which will be mentioned in the following part of my story again.
  • Two years ago, I had been unemployed for 5 months without any insurance. One day when I walked across the street under the green light, a car hit me and crashed both bones of my left lower leg, and then left me lying in the middle of a crossroad. After I was rushed to the emergency room, I wrote a few professional emails to the companies to which I was applying, requesting a delay in the interview process.That night, after waking up from surgery, I discovered two voice messages on my phone. One was from my mother, urging me to ask the nurses for a cheaper room because we couldn’t afford the good ones. The other message was from the management office of my apartment, informing me that while I was in surgery, a neighbor’s discarded cigarette had ignited items on my balcony. This fire had cracked all the glass windows between my balcony and living room. Even the police were incredulous that they had to deal with two separate incidents involving me on the same day.

    Five days after my hospital discharge, I returned to my apartment, just as a heavy snowfall began blanketing the northern city. Cold winds whistled through the shattered windows, causing my electricity bill to skyrocket. I learned to stand in the tiny bathroom with the walker to shower in front of the bathtub. I learned to crawl to the wall, use it to stand back up, and then clean up the mess of soup spilled all over me. I learned to use my body to push through doors that lacked accessibility features. It was so distressing that even an elderly lady who also visited the clinic, couldn’t bear to watch and offered to help. Additionally, I had to start my car in the cold underground garage and wait there to let it run for a while, to prevent engine damage from not being used for months during the winter.

  • One and a half years ago, my other leg’s knee, fingers, and palm were injured and bled during a catastrophic stampede involving over ten thousand people, triggered by a mass shooting incident. I, along with tourists from several countries, hid in a residential building for hours.
  • This year, despite having cleared the medical bills from the surgery and hospitalization for the car accident, which exceeded my pre-tax annual salary, I am still unable to run or walk downstairs normally. I’m stuck with enormous debt pressures from rehabilitation training, several panic attacks requiring emergency care, the additional costs brought about by my limited mobility, a second coast-to-coast job relocation, medical expenses for two young cats I adopted from near-death situations, legal fees for immigration and personal injury lawyers, and various material and promotional expenses for my philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
  • The cracked tooth finally broke completely and gave me the pain that required extraction immediately. However, the dental clinic did insurance fraud and overcharged me $5000. Now I need a dental implant which they ask for another $2000.

 

The debt I already had: $64,100

The payments I will need to make in the next few months: $22,000, which includes

  1. Legal fee: $19,000
  2. Medical bills: $2,500
  3. Car repairs: $500

So in total: $86,100

 

What I do to give back to the world and honor your kindness for the rest of my life:

  1. In the Name of God, I donate items and cash as long as I’m capable to
  2. I make non-profit digital artwork that tells stories of people in minority communities and hardships
  3. I have been a volunteer mentor in the tech industry since 2019
  4. I have been a volunteer for over 8 certified charity organizations since 2014 in 3 countries
  5. I save the lives of pets in No-Kill shelters
  6. I pray for everyone who helped me or other folks here more than twice a day

Help with medical bills for hand injury and UTI.

I need help paying medical bills because I don’t have any insurance.  I don’t have insurance because I drive for Uber and they don’t provide any benefits.  I use to make good money with Uber but now they are paying a lot less than what they have in the past.  I am actually making about half of what I use to make a couple of years ago.  With making less and the cost of living going up so much in the past couple of years I just don’t have anything extra for insurance.  I am just getting by with what I make.  I have already checked into getting insurance for next year and my estimated monthly insurance payments will be around $300.00 per month.  I am looking for a better job but in today’s environment it may be difficult.

My story begins on September 28, 2023, I was using a chainsaw to clear out some overgrowth along a barbed wire fence.  Apparently there was a broken strand of barbed wire in the overgrowth.  When the chain saw touched the wire it threw the end of it into my hand.  I was wearing leather gloves but the barbed wire went through my glove as if it wasn’t there.  The pain was immediate and very sharp.  I thought the barb went into my hand so I had to work to get my glove off to see what had happened.  Instead the main wire was deeply implanted into my hand.  Being alone I thought I would just pull the wire out, go sterilize the wound and bandage it.  I pulled on the wire and it wasn’t moving.  It made me sick where I broke out in a cold sweat and almost passed out.  I lay down on the ground until I felt better.  I was going to get help but the wire was attached to the fence so I was trapped.  Luckily I had my phone so I called my brother’s girlfriend who was at his home across the  street.  I explained the situation and told her I needed some wire cutters and needed to go to the ER.  It seemed like forever while I was waiting for her so I tried again to pull the barbed wire out of my hand and again I almost passed out.  I laid down on the ground again until she arrived.  The wire cutters she had were not strong enough to cut the barbed wire (which is two strands of wire twisted together) but about three feet away one of the strands was broken so we were able to cut it there.  I then rolled up the wire and she drove me to the ER with me holding the wire.  At the ER they finally found a pair of wire cutters and cut off most of the wire to make it more manageable.  (Tried to insert photo but couldn’t figure out how to do that.)  They took X-rays and gave me a tetanus shot.  Finally it was time to remove the barbed wire.  The doctor deaden the area around the wire and used a pair of pliers to pull on it.  Her first pull and it barely moved.  She pulled again harder and the wire came out.  I screamed in pain which is something I never do.  This was probably the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life and this was with the area deaden.  It turned out that the barbed wire had been inserted about two inches into my hand.  It’s no wonder why I couldn’t pull it out myself.  They gave me a prescription for antibiotics and sent me home stating I should come back if I had more problems.

The next day, September 29, 2023, my hand was extremely swollen and warm to the touch so I had to go back to the ER.  They gave me two IV antibiotics and prescribed another antibiotic to help with any infection.  They also made an appointment with a hand specialist.

On October 4, 2023, I went to see the hand specialist.  She examined it and said everything looked good considering what happened.  My hand did not show signs of nerve damage.  The numbness was normal and the feeling should return with time.  It just needed time to heal.  A follow up visit was rescheduled.

On October 18, 2023, I went back to the hand specialist for a follow up visit.  Everything was looking good.  I had good movement of my fingers.  She wanted me to continue to do stretches to help with the movement. She did not feel another follow up visit was necessary unless I should have any problems in the future.

At the time of writing this (December 10) my hand is still a bit swollen and stiff.  There is still some numbness in my fingers.  I will be scheduling another visit soon because I believe scar tissue has formed which prevents my fingers from going straight together to each other and leaving a gap between them.

Everything is returning to normal until October 28, 2023.  I woke up with a large swelling between my legs.  Yes, a bit personal so I will explain the facts in a way I hope no one is offended.  Basically over night my right testicle had stolen from the size of a large grape to an extra large goose egg.  It was about three inches long and two inches in diameter.  I waited Saturday and Sunday to give the swelling a chance to go down but it didn’t.  Late Sunday night (October 29) I went to the ER where they admitted me.  They did some tests and concluded that I had an UTI.  Yes, it is unusual for a male to get an UTI but it does happen, lucky me.  On Monday morning (October 30) they transferred me to their Gainesville location.  I stayed there until Tuesday afternoon.  Before leaving they made an appointment with an urologist.

On November 2, 2023, I went to the urologist.  He prescribed an antibiotic to take for 19 days.  He said it would take weeks for the swelling to go down.  Since I wasn’t able to urinate completely he had a catheter put in.  So now I had a waste bag attached to my leg.  Makes driving a bit more aukward.

On November 30, 2023, I returned to the urologist for my follow up.  When I got there I was later told they mis-scheduled my appointment because I should have been there in the morning to have time for their procedure and they did not have time to do it this late in the afternoon.  What a wasted trip!

December 1, 2023, I return to the urologist and the catheter was removed and the test only took about fifteen minutes.  (Had plenty of time the day before.)  I was mostly emptying my bladder so I was sent home with the instructions that if I was having problems to call back around 1:00.  I called back around 1:20 having to leave a message that I was going to the bathroom with difficulty and not emptying as much as I should.  They never called me back.  Needless to say my weekend was very miserable.

December 4, 2023, I just went back to the urologist since they never called me back.  In the end they put the catheter back in.  We discussed medication options but everything he wants to give me has the possibility of many very bad side effects.

That is my history from September 28, 2023 to December 10, 2023.  I will still need more follow up visits to the hand specialist and to the urologist.  I have done Uber only one weekend since the hand injury so I have not made much money and using what little bit of savings I have to get by.

Thank you to everyone that helps with any amount.  May you be blessed many times over.  If I get more than the amount for medical bills it will be used to pay any operating expenses I have since I am only making minimum income right now.

last hope

hi everyone, i hope all is well.

i’ve been super embarrassed to post this but i figured i would give this a shot since this is my last resort.

i’ve been out of work since october 1st due to medical issues, and thankfully i was blessed to get disability, however it is not enough to be able to pay my bills and medical expenses (dr visits and medications).

i’ve been doing…things i’m not proud of for fast money as a female. i’m sure you can guess. and it is really dehumanizing and not something i ever wanted to do.

i’m looking for financial help to get me back up on my feet, and to stop drowning in debt. i want to be able to go back to school for data analytics when i am well enough. i want so much for my life and this isn’t it. i just really need help in my current situation as the stress is too much for me to bare with no other supporting figures in my life.

if you can help, even a little would help, i would sincerely appreciate it.

Life changing eye surgery

Hello my name is Marvin and I need eye surgery on my right eye that will remove a cataract. 29 years now, I have only been able to see out of my left eye due to a childhood accident that left me partially blind.

At 38 years old, I have struggled through life due to a cataract that left me with vision only in one eye. My education and learning has suffered as a result of mental overload from straining the left eye.

For years I was unaware why, the veins in my eyes turned red and constant headaches were due to the cataract till the eye tests in 2019.

At university a foundation degree in aeronautical engineering was what I only managed to achieve. Recently computer programming is what I started retaining in, I like solving challenges and the employment. But my eyes start to sting and make it difficult to focus on a computer screen for a prolonged time.

Survey will restore my eyesight by removing and replacing the cataract with a new lens implanting, from the recent medical assessment and referral.

Unfortunately I can’t afford this urgent £5,000 surgery on my financial credit due to my wild child older sister Yvonne, as woke up to owing £35,000 in parking fine debts.

January 2021 Yvonne my older sister asked me for help in buying a car on my financial credit, to which I was reluctantly to decline mainly due to their past character being inattentive.

Weeks later I agreed and bought her car using my financial credit, for as long as she made the monthly payments and all matters of the car were dealt with. The idea of helping Yvonne a single parent with 2 boys obtain a car to help with daily life and getting to work, may have persuaded me to help.

Months after getting the car letters continued to accumulate despite having repeatedly asked Yvonne to deal with the matter. Choosing not interfering in a her life was my thought at that time out of respect. £35,000 in 205 parking tickets is the result of her inattentiveness to deal with an important matter over the course of two and a half years. Question, To which point does an individual take payment communication letters seriously instead of the celebrity party scene?

At that time I recall hearing “Marvin don’t worry, that company issues tickets to everyone” and told she was on the so called waiting list for a parking permit at her residence. Knowing that I felt no reason to distrust Yvonne, so back then I continued trusting her. Today 2023 yes I feel naive, stupid and betrayed as I once deeply trusted my older sister Yvonne. To know the person changed in two years after I agreed to help her hurts (Did I make a mistake? The thought repeats in my mind). I no longer feel angry just sad and tired as I continue to receive more court letter asking for payments.

Today 2023 November its as bad as our mother helping Yvonne make payments, her avoiding my phone calls and letters from the court demanding repayments totalling a shocking £35,000 all in parking fines.

Looking to the new year 2024 were I aim to let go of the past and move on with my life, currently I ask all kind individuals for help in my challenging time.

The urgent £5,000 eye surgery will restore my eyesight after 29 years which will help me complete retraining and gain employment in passion computer programming.
Planned at Moorfields eye hospital where the full costs of onward treatment will be £3,175 which includes a standard lens and one post operative appointment. Fees for the initial consultation are charged at £225 and the £1,600 towards additional costs for cataract surgery aftercare as required and off work recovery duration.

Donations will help me get life changing cataract eye surgery, improve further and help me & my mother put the debt behind us.

Just trying to breath and help my Mom

In 2021 during Covid we found out my mother had Alzheimer’s  and a brain tumor. She needed care and we searched for months. I moved up from Texas to Washington DC , thinking that it would be a temporary situation . As soon as I arrived ,within 2 weeks  I was served divorce papers , a big surprise. I lost everything even the car I finished paying for.  The first 2 years my family helped me to adjust emotionally and financially , and still help me.  Now my mother is slowly dying and it seems that help is not what it use to be . I have medicaid but it does not cover my asthma medication Dulera. It is the only asthma medicine that helps me breathe while I sleep. It cost between 340-360 depending on the pharmacy. The cheaper inhalers only last for a couple of hours and I wake up gasping. The pharmaceutical company has my life in their hands. Very few people I know understand this.  I am allergic to most of the trees and flora in this area which makes my asthma worse.

My mother is ok financially. My sister is in charge of everything that concerns her. Which is great since I don’t have to worry about her finances. I would really like help with my last three ( or 2) prescriptions. Sometimes it seems that nobody believes when I say I need the Dulera to help me breathe when I sleep. Luckily one Dulera will last me for two to three months.

Cardiac Problems – TO WHO CAN HELP

Hello everyone, my name is Jose Manuel, 54 years old, currently divorced and living alone, residing in the city of London, England since 2008, that is, I have been in the country for 15 years, I was a police officer for many years in my country-of-origin Venezuela, and upon leaving my country for obvious reasons, I have had to work in several jobs in six different countries where I have already been.

I was currently working as an escort, (Close Protection), I say I worked in the past tense, it is because in January of this year, just when I was going to work that Monday the 9th at 10 in the morning, I started to feel bad, my chest hurt. , pain in my left arm, it was evident that I was suffering a heart attack, instead of calling an ambulance, I decided to return home after canceling my work duties when I got home, I could no longer breathe well, and that was when I decided to call the London emergency services, a few minutes later the ambulance arrived at my house, where they informed me that I had suffered a major heart attack and that they had to transfer me to St. Thomas hospital, in the same city. Being in the emergency room, I went into surgery immediately where they informed me that they were going to place a catheterization with an expander. The next day, the doctors told me that it didn’t work and that they had to do another surgery with another catheterization but this time with an expander. balloon or balloon, remember that I told you that I was alone, without family and trusted friends, I tell you this is because, at this point, I already needed the help of someone who would bring me personal hygiene items such as deodorants, etc. to the hospital. I wanted to get out of that hospital as quickly as possible to continue working since my economic situation after the pandemic, like millions of people, did very badly. A few days later they notified me that I had suffered a pleural effusion, where my lungs filled with fluid and that was why I couldn’t breathe well, which is why I started a new invasive and very harsh treatment in addition to the heart problem. In fact, that same day, the doctors surrounded me in the hospital room to tell me they had to operate to urgently implant a device called ICD, which is a defibrillator that also works as a pacemaker. Two days after the implant, once the device has been implanted, they told me that I was on a waiting list for a heart transplant because my heart was functioning at 32% and I had 55% thrombi or clots in the arteries, there was a risk of suffering a stroke, the doctors met with me to tell me that there was nothing more they could do for me, they would wait for me to stabilize and they would discharge me.

All of this cost me time and money, my savings were gone, I no longer had a job, I couldn’t pay my rent for months, I had no help from this government, I applied for benefits and they only helped me with about three hundred pounds a month, and This was not enough to pay expenses, rent, food, etc. (everything I am saying is demonstrable), although it is illegal in this country for the owner of the house where I was renting to tell me that “if I don’t pay he would throw me out on the street”, but that’s what he said, and this caused me a lot of stress and my clinical situation worsened.

Unfortunately, due to my clinical condition, I cannot work. I am in a delicate situation where at any moment I become Homeless, and unfortunately, no one can help me at this time.

As I told you, I already owe more than ten thousand pounds between rent, credit cards, which by the way I no longer have (obviously), and other bills for the house, which at any time also cut off my electricity, water, gas, etc. It is not easy, this is why I have decided to see if I can still believe in the humanity of finding someone who can help me financially to be able to pay some of these expenses, and the most important thing is the purchase of medicines that are not supplied by the British government that they are expensive.

I have business projects that I am thinking about but for the future, naturally, it is not immediate, I know that I can recover and I know that I will not need that transplant, I feel fine, but overall, I can’t walk fast, I can’t breathe well, I can’t make efforts, but I can work on something from home like I’m doing right now, which is making web pages, graphic designs, editing videos for influencers and YouTubers and other things, the problem with this type of work is sporadic it is not every day and it is not a lot of money just to eat and something else.

So, I have decided to seek help from you who are reading my story, like thousands of stories this is one more, I have seen that many people with fewer problems than mine have been helped, and I hope that someone can help me, so that I can raise the greatest amount of money to pay my medical expenses, rent, and other important things that I must pay before being completely homeless.

I thank you in advance for having come this far in reading my story, and I hope that if it is not, you who helps me, it will be someone else who takes pity on this situation, and I assure you that as soon as I start with my online business project from home, I will return your money.

Request for Financial Assistance due to permanent vision loss

Hello Friends:

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Angela and I am writing to you with a heavy heart, seeking financial assistance during a challenging time in my life.

In June 2019, I experienced a severe eye illness from having HSV 1 (basically shingles) in my left eye that has left me with irreversible damage, and despite the medical interventions undertaken, I have unfortunately lost all vision in my left eye. This life-altering event has not only affected my physical well-being but has also brought about unexpected financial burdens. I am an OTR truck driver of 30 years now. Which is definately a job that vision is a very important factor in order to do it safely. Unfortunately it has caused me to miss a lot of work since it came about. I have worked hard all my life and would never have dreamed it would come to me asking for financial assistance like this. I have taken out every kind of loan imaginable and got extremely too many credit cards that I have used to try to make it this far. But due to those loans and credit cards I put myself in a worse situation. And that is why I am coming to this solution.

The journey to this point has involved numerous medical consultations, surgeries, and rehabilitative measures, each accompanied by substantial financial costs. I have been to multiple cornea specialists. Including one of the countries very best at Duke University in North Carolina. I live in Alabama so it was definitely a tough decision to go all the way to North Carolina to see a specialist there. However, I was willing to try anything to help and hopefully have my vision and eye repaired. Regrettably, the medical professionals have conveyed that further interventions are no longer feasible, and I must come to terms with the permanence of my vision loss.

As you can imagine, adapting to a life with reduced vision presents significant challenges, both emotionally and practically. Daily tasks that were once routine now require extensive adjustments, and I am navigating a new reality that involves ongoing medical expenses, assistive devices, and most of all the impact on my career. I am still employed as a truck driver and will be until the day I literally cannot physically do it anymore. I am only able to obtain a DOT physical for 6 months at time now instead of the normal 2 year physical. I have to go through extensive steps now in order to get it as well which includes a visit with my eye doctor and the cornea specialist. I am required to have a document filled out and signed by them both in order to get my physical now. This has really took a major toll on my finances and will soon be to the point that I will no longer be able to see well enough to get a physical at all.

I am reaching out to your organization with the hope that you may consider providing financial assistance to alleviate the financial strain that has arisen from this unexpected and life-altering circumstance. Your support would not only help cover medical bills and ongoing healthcare needs but would also contribute to enhancing the quality of my life as I adapt to this new reality.

I understand the challenges many face, and I appreciate any assistance you may be able to offer, whether it be financial support or guidance to additional resources that could aid in my situation. I am more than willing to provide any additional information necessary to facilitate your decision-making process.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and considering my request. Your generosity and compassion can make a significant difference in helping me regain stability and independence during this difficult period.

I sincerely appreciate your consideration and support.

Warm regards,

Angela

Urgent Appeal for Financial Assistance for Disabled Vietnam Veteran Facing Homelessness

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. My name is Gregory Savoy, and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a plea for assistance that I never imagined making. I am a 73-year-old Vietnam veteran, and I find myself in an extremely challenging situation that threatens my stability and well-being.

For the past nine years, I have been residing in a 24-hour Skilled Nursing Care facility in New Orleans. My circumstances are compounded by the fact that I am 100% disabled, a result of the sacrifices made during my service in Vietnam. After a prolonged and arduous five-year battle, I was finally approved for a monthly Veterans Affairs (VA) benefit of $1,440. While this has been a significant relief, my financial woes persist.

The nursing care facility has already depleted $75,000 from my 401K savings, and they are currently receiving my Social Security monthly check. Given that Medicaid covers a substantial portion of my nursing care expenses, I was initially reassured that my VA disability funds were rightfully mine to keep. However, I now find myself caught in a bureaucratic nightmare.

In good faith, I utilized the first disability check I received, which amounted to $16,000, to assist my three children who were facing their own challenges. Regrettably, this decision has led to unexpected consequences. Medicaid is now demanding the repayment of all previous disability checks, in addition to the $16,000 I spent on my family. The financial burden has become overwhelming, and I am now at risk of eviction and homelessness.

I am writing to you today with a humble request for your support during this dire time. I am reaching out to individuals with compassionate hearts, like yours, who may be willing to contribute to a fund that could help me regain financial stability and avoid the imminent threat of homelessness.

I have set up a PayPal account for donations, and any contribution, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated. You can donate securely at www.paypal.com/paypalme/gpsavoy. Your generosity will go directly towards settling the outstanding debts and securing a stable living situation for me in my twilight years.

I understand that times are tough for many, and I do not make this request lightly. If you are unable to contribute financially, I kindly ask for your thoughts, prayers, and any assistance you may be able to provide in spreading the word about my situation.

I am grateful for your time, consideration, and any support you can offer. May you be blessed for your kindness, and thank you for being a beacon of hope during this challenging chapter of my life.

With sincere gratitude,

Gregory Savoy

Medical Necessity

I have been fighting to get healthy all my life.

Listing all the accomplishments is a bittersweet journey in my life.

I researched and cured all my horrible skin diseases (Acne, Psoriasis, Shingles) early in my life holistically.

The weight gain was and still is a battle, but I am not obese. I walk at least 4 miles a day and have been for over 3 years now. This is not easy because I had a massive Stroke 2015 and have been managing Multiple Sclerosis for over 30 years. Add poverty to the challenge! I couldn’t afford walking sneakers, good supportive bra, sunscreen, etc.

As a result of all the above, I have chronic back pain! All the loose skin hangs and drags me down. It exacerbates my incontinence, balance, endurance level. and lowers my self-esteem, motivation,

My neurologists, primary physician, gyn and chiropractor, have all hinted that abdominoplasty ($8-10,000) has indeed helped some of their patients.

My God, I can afford good walking shoes/sneaker, how can I get that surgery?

I need help! Please help me to stay motivated to keep walking. I have so many supporters telling me how I inspire them. That makes me cry with joy!

Urgent Appeal for Medical Support

Dear friends

My name is Oscar,

I am contacting you to request financial assistance. I am currently facing significant health challenges that have become both a financial and emotional burden.

I am in the midst of dental treatment that I have been unable to complete due to financial constraints. In addition, I am dealing with diplopia, a condition resulting from a stroke. Despite consulting with multiple ophthalmologists and experimenting with prisms, a satisfactory solution remains elusive. As a diabetic, this visual impairment adds an additional layer of complexity to your daily life.

Today I am writing to ask for your support in raising funds to cover the costs of two critical aspects of Oscar’s medical journey. First, to complete dental treatment that has been left unfinished due to financial constraints. Secondly, and more urgently, I need financial assistance for possible microsurgical intervention to resolve his diplopia. The specialists who can provide the necessary expertise are private practitioners and, unfortunately, the associated costs are far beyond their means. The collective goal is to raise a minimum of €2500 to help me undergo this vital microsurgery.

These health problems have significantly restricted my ability to work and travel, leaving me quite isolated. Your support would not only contribute to my physical well-being but would also provide me with a renewed sense of hope and relief.

If your means and heart allows and you can help me contribute to the cause, I would deeply appreciate it.

To make a contribution, you can do so through PayPal at OSCAR198112@GMAIL.COM

Sincerely, thank you for taking the time to read my story and consider supporting me during this difficult time. Your compassion would mean so much to me.

Sincerely,

Oscar

Struggling with debt due to child’s medical needs

Over the past year I have been struggling to get my teenager the mental health care they need. Last year insurance paid out over $100,000, which was great to have that coverage… However, through the various providers I had multiple $300 copayments for intake. In the fall I had to take early maternity leave to care for her at home which reduced our income.  I put these payments on credit cards as we did not have the funds in cash. Coming into 2023, with my maternity leave ending in March/April, I went back to work. Soon after, I had to call out to take her to the Emergency room. Unfortunately, as I had used all family leave during my maternity leave, I was let go from my job. Trying to care for her and searching for a way to work without her being alone at home I decided to deliver newspapers overnight until I could find something else. This did not fit our income needs and I continued trying to make things work by paying my utility bills on credit cards. In the past year and a half we have now racked up $30,000 in credit card debt. Our cards are maxed, we are drowning in minimum payments (over $1,300 a month) and are having a card time seeing a way out with no family that can assist.  I have contacted a company to look into a DMP to help make our debt more manageable. We have also taken in another teenager as of August who does not have parents to care for them. I am now working but it is not enough to catch up on bills and cover basic needs. I do instacart when I’m not working my regular job to try to cover childcare costs I’m also doing instacart. I also am a part time student.  I understand that I need to increase our income by any means possible,  so I am going to school to raise my value in the work force. Any help is appreciated.

Fibroid removal operation

I am a 35 year old who suffers from Fibroids, I have lived with them for 7 years now and the biggest one has since grown up to 13cm. The pain I get is excruciating, I can not sit on the toilet seat without screaming in pain . Sitting on the bus , at work anywhere really is painful. I would much rather lie down but I have to go to work to survive, the Dr suggested getting them removed and I have been referred to a Gynaecologist however I am on a waiting list to get an appointment to see a Gynaecologist.

My dream is to become a Mum but at this point I can not as I have no social life , the pain prevents me from going out to socialize . if I go the private route in the UK it costs £6000. I have consulted with a Gynaecologist in Lesotho Africa and have gotten a quote of R40 000 which is £1600 , this is what I make in a month and I can not afford this after rent and bills and transport my savings are close to nothing.

I would be grateful to have the cost of my surgery covered any amount really would help me work towards getting my surgery, I put aside what I can every month but at the rate I am going it will be 2025 when I manage to save the full amount and by then I will probably be given a new quotation.

I do not want to give up, my pain gets too much I struggle to breathe, I can not do any exercise I am afraid to trigger the pain , I hold on to rails and people in order to sit down.  I am a bubbly person who loves the outdoors but for the past 3 years since the pain has become consistent and worse I dread being in public, when I am in pain I cry I scream, I sweat and no one can understand what I am going through.

My self esteem is slowly fading , my performance at work is dwindling I don’t even remember the sound of my laugh I am miserable and sending out a plea to anyone who can help with any amount at all, any amount. I need you please help me.
