Rene's Pneumothorax Expenses

Donation protected
As some of you may know, a month ago I suffered from a spontaneous Pneumothorax which is basically a collapsed lung. Air had leaked from my left lung and by the time I got to the Emergency Room almost 50% of my lung had been deflated which caused a lot of pain and discomfort in my chest and lower spine. I stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks with a tube placed between my ribs in order to remove air from my chest cavity and re inflate my lung. My insurance ended up covering most, but not all of my expenses, but now I find myself in the hospital once again with the same issue. This is my 2nd pneumothorax and it calls for a more serious procedure to be done where my lung will be glued to the inside of my chest wall. I currently do not have insurance anymore and my stay will end up costing over $3000 due to the daily X-rays I am receiving and the surgery to follow and it would mean a great deal to me if you could take the time to donate a bit, or if you find yourself in a financial crisis as well, prayers would be greatly appreciated. I am not looking to raise the entire hospital bill but any help would be great as I am also a college student who can't afford to not be healthy. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this.
