Need Your Help With Medical Bills

Donation protected
For many of you who have followed me via social media for the past couple of years, you have been witness to my painful, exhausting, and ultimately expensive struggle with my health. At the beginning of 2016 I was diagnoised with severe uterine fibroids which required surgery. Even though I had insurance at the time, my out of pocket deductible was $4000. So by the time I was done with all of the pre-evaluation and testing I was in the hole $4k, which when you barely make a living wage is terrifying.

Then, even though I had been religiously making my $123 a month payments into my insurance, my insurance decided that they did not feel they needed to cover the surgery I required. Thus, I had to pay for it out of pocket. I was initially told that the surgery would cost between $6-$8K out of pocket. I managed to crowdfund $3k (THANK YOU!) which allowed me to make the downpayment needed to get into the hospital and get operated on. When I was released I found out that the actual costs, just for the hospital alone, were $11k plus an additional $8k in fees from everyone from the anethesiologist, to radiologist, etc.

The bills just keep coming in. Right now I owe about $13k. Which have now gone into collections even though I have made small payments on everything when I can over the past few months. I am effectively drowning in medical bills and now, because of this, unable to afford health insurance since my previous insurance company decided to drop their Obamacare level plan leaving me uninsured. I am desperately asking for your help. Anything at all would be deeply appreciated. I feel terrible for having to ask for help once again, but I honestly just don't know what to do at this point...

Thank you for your support. Much love to you all!
