Help Deanna with hospital debt

Donation protected
In 2015 unfortunately I was hospitalized on two separate occasions which have left me with quite the financial burden. In February of 2015 I was bitten by a spider which the site of the bite became infected. I went to the Hospital to seek medical attention, they opened the wound and left it open for a few days, when they opened the wound unfortunately I had contracted MRSA, which lead me to become severely ill, I went back to he hospital to get the wound sealed again but the infection spread and I was hospitalized for a week. My insurance company was never billed correctly and now I am left with the cost of that visit. The second incident occurred in August of 2015. I have had bad asthma my whole life and have had to be admitted to the hospital before because of it, this time i thought was no different. I was brought to the hospital via ambulance, received medical treatment in the ER and a few hours later was released with prednisone and sent home on foot. Within a few days my asthma had flared up again, which brought me back to the hospital by ambulance once more. This time I was admitted due to the severity of my attacks. While being admitted in the hospital I was to supposed to be getting breathing treatments every four hours, one evening unfortunately I didn't receive my treatment in time, it was about 7 hours after my last treatment I woke up having an attack, and with only one respiratory therapist working the entire hospital, he was not able to deliver my treatment in time putting me in pulmonary arrest. I flat lined, had to be resuscitated and was put in a coma for three days. Now the Hospital is coming after me with lawyers and unfortunately I don't have the extra funds to pay this debt. I don't like having to ask anyone for anything, but I don't really see any other options at this moment in time. I work full time and have roughly 1400 dollars a month in bills already. If anyone could donate anything whatsoever to alleviate this burden I would be forever grateful. This is my last resort. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any and all help. Thank you.
