My Story:

Hi, I'm Anna M, a trans woman living in Long Island for now. My life has run into a few large obstacles that I need help overcoming.

What I Need:

1. My mom recently went into the hospital with congestive heart failure and Atrial Fibrillation. She was given a pacemaker-implant and her edema was drained and then she had to undergo physical therapy. Now that she's out of the hospital, she has a medical debt of about 21000 dollars, that she has no way to pay.

UPDATE - Mom died on May 15th. She left us with no life insurance or money. My brother and I had to go into debt to pay for her funeral.

We have our apartment but that also incurs bills - maintenance of 1500 per month, plus electric and cable (I work remotely so I cannot go without internet.)

2. Two years ago, I slipped on some ice outside a building. I almost fractured my orbital bone but was lucky enough to "only" need some stitches around my eye. Some time later a bunch of tissue necrotized on the left side of my face. I also developed micro-fractures in a few teeth that had to eventually be removed.

Now I need dental implants and crowns that my insurance won't pay for. (they want all the teeth removed and replaced with dentures instead). All told this will cost about 25000.  (just got an update on the cost)

I would also like surgery for the left side of my face, which has sort of collapsed (there is a reason why I always take pictures from a certain angle). This will cost anywhere from 10-15 K.

-----------------------------------------------------

The most urgent issues are the medical debt, which is going to affect my mom's immediate future including her retirement, and the dental work, which of course will impact my ability to work.

The dental work still hasn't been done, which leaves me having to work remotely, which is not paying me anywhere near enough to cover my bills properly.

-----------------------------------------------------

Anything you can give would be appreciated, things are quite urgent or I wouldn't be asking like this.
