Cellulitus changed my life forever!

Hello everyone,
Cellulitus nearly took my leg. I will post more INFO soon.
*************************
At the beginning of March 2017, my eczema, skin condition, had flared up on my left knee and was dry this time and exposed openings in the surface area. I was hiking that week and my medical team said most likely bacteria was able to get inside my left knee's skin. Causing an infection which turned into Cellulitus (March 11) and again on top of the knee into Bursitis. March 11, my knee doubled in size within 4hrs in the middle of the night, and my roommate rushed me to the ER. Bacteria did not get into my blood, in which they warned me was a life threatening possibility, and/or amputation of the lower extremity. This was thee most excruciating pain I have ever dealt with in life, compared to surgeries, sickness, and broken bones. My GOAL($8000+) includes meds, ER, doctor visits, procedures, etc. I had medical insurance from a previous job, but have not applied for (re)new insurance due in part honestly from researching with the new Presidency, if and/or how Medi-CAL would be affected. I have a Medical Expenses advisor helping me cut some of my expenses, in which I have got 40% of the ER portion covered. With your help, even $1.00, can assist with this recent change in my life. I will be putting more pictures, info, and updates from March 11 and present time. I have fought myself time and time again whether or not to start my gofundme campaign, but these expenses leave me with no choice. I thank you all for your support and appreciate the help I have been given thus far.
Thank you, J
