Crystal's Fresh Start

OK this is a bit of a long story, but here goes.
A few years ago I found out I had a few chronic health issues that made working a normal job hard. Though I am stubborn , I kept working anyway. I was denied disability and ended up in the hospital for a month. During that time I lost my job and had no source of income. I had to rely on  credit cards to pay bills for a bit, til I got back on my feet. I made the payments regularly and always paid on time.
A year later I had another attack and ended up in the hospital once more, this time it was for longer. I found out I had more health issues and the bills kept stacking up with my medical expenses. Eventually it got so bad I was swallowed by debt.

Now I can only work freelance/self-employed due to my health. I don't have money to pay back my debt and looking into bankruptcy which is a last resort and a costly one still. I don't have much and live with family.
I would like to get out of debt and move on with my life with the little time I have left. My friend suggested this site since I don't have parents or family to ask for help from so I am hoping on the kindess of strangers to help.
After I am free from my debt I hope to make a comic book and a photo book from all of the artwork I have done.
