Terminal single mom, please help

Donation protected
I am a single mom with sole physical custody of my little angel daughter. My only income is child support and alimony. I do not qualify for ssi financial help although deemed disabled as my child support/alimony exceed ssi. To be truthful I receive combined $1800 per month but my medical costs are $3600 over that. I have no life expectancy but I will fight to stay alive to raise my little beautiful daughter. She knows "mommy" is sick but not the severity. I suffer from malabsorption and can only eat the amount of a 6 month old. Neurapathy which is my nerves dying. Fatally low iron (anemia) with a level of only 2. Fatally low blood pressure but a new medication finally came out but at a cost of $800 for a months supply. At night my heart stops pumping to limbs/organs you can live without, usually shoulder to hands go dead, I must detail this...I can't feel an entire arm and have to use my other hand to lift arm up and start massaging it until my heart says "oh she's alive, let's start pumping blood to that area again", then I have to get up slowly and walk around to let heart know to pump away. My blood pressure drops during the day to where I've fallen, passed out, go blind entirely for several minutes. Recently fell and scraped and bruised myself up something awful. I'm on TPN therapy at home which is rare and have been told I'm only 2nd person in California on it in an in home situation. I'm on home health care and nurses check my pic line that runs from bicep and attaches to my heart, it's hooked up to an IV 14 hours a day. I go to weekly iron infusions past 2 years but my level stays at 2 because my body is rejecting it and I'm not producing my own red blood cells. I go to physical therapy 3x week not for activity as I can't take in more than 300 calories due to not being able to eat, they work on my nerve damage by hooking machine to neck that stimulates the worst damage area. Only my immediate family and a couple friends know my condition as I'm a very private person and don't use social media to ask for help, such as Facebook etc. until now after 4 years of being ill.  I've never asked for monetary help but my bills have piled up and I am now desperate and am asking. My only other option is to terminate some of my treatments but it scares me to death as I have to live to care for my daughter. I'm all she has. This is the life God dealt me and I'm grateful to wake up and see my daughter's sweet face.  I am asking for anyone's help, I put down$10,000 as my goal which will cover back owed medical expenses and 3 months of treatments and medications. There is no cure and they've deemed me terminal so this is "life long expenses" but I plan on playing cards dealt to me for years to come, I'm a fighter and have to live to raise my daughter. I do really need more than I asked for but any amount would bless not just me but my daughter as well, she needs me alive and I need to be around for her too. She's the reason I'm asking for any donations you can afford. I definitely realize the economy is taking its toll on most but if anyone can help, you're my angel and all I can do to repay you is to thank you and add your name to my nightly prayers. God Bless anyone who's even read my "novel" and those who can help me. Thank you all for your time and please live life to its fullest and let those around you know you love them as you never know when your cards dealt will fold. I tell my parents and daughter how much they mean to me every night by phone and when I tuck my daughter in, as I really know that when I go to bed, I might not awake. Even a nice comment o prayer can help.
