Hi
I am reaching out to this community for help because I have nowhere else to turn. In the last several months, I have been slapped with surprise after surprise of financial debt.
In February 2023, the start-up company I work at began to fold. I was given notice that my final day was March 31st. I was receiving severance, and my insurance (that was 100% covered) would end on April 15. I already had my doctor’s appointments scheduled prior to the notice, so I wasn’t concerned. Lo and behold, on June 5th of this year, I received an $ 11,257 medical bill. My previous employer ended my coverage on March 20th, 2025, 3 weeks sooner than I was told. Now I’m stuck with this bill that I can’t afford.
It took me 8 months to find the job I have now, and I make significantly less money than I did before.
Then, my fiancé (now Ex) somehow got into my safe, where I kept all of my rainy day credit cards, and maxed them all out. Two cards are maxed at $5000, and the other is maxed at $2000. The engagement ring she claims to have “misplaced” is $10,000, and the down payment on the wedding was $5000.
I am doing my best to get back on steadier ground, but these surprises keep knocking the wind out of me. I am barely covering my rent and basic living expenses. With nearly $40,000 worth of debt, I am at the end of my rope.
If you can find it within your means to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention.
Thank you and God Bless!
