Please Help Me Stay in the UK

Donation protected
Please help us!  I met my husband Keith online in 2009.  After spending two years going back and forth between the USA and the UK, I was finally able to move to the UK on a fiancee VISA in February of 2011, and in November of that year we were married.  Over the past three and a half years, we have paid out over £1000 ($1500) in VISA application fees for (limited time) leave to remain VISAs.  Now the time has finally come when I can apply for indefinite leave to remain.  We are so excited because this will be the last time that I will have to apply for a VISA to remain in the UK with my husband.  BUT the price of the VISA, plus the test I have to take and the book needed to study for the test is £1155 ($1845).  We are struggling to come up with this amount because Keith spent 11 weeks in the hospital with heart problems and we had to live on my salary and the £375 in sick pay that Keith received.  Needless to say, both of us have bank accounts that are in severe overdraft and credit cards that have been maxed out.  We are slowly recovering financially, but will not be in the black in time to pay out these fees.  
Without my VISA, which must be applied and paid for by the end of January, I will not be able to remain in the UK, and will have to return to the USA.  We are desperate to not be separated, and we are hoping that our friends and family are willing to help us out.  Even if it's only £1 or $1, every bit that we can raise would be so appreciated!
