Help paying medical bill

Hi, my name is Michael. I recently suffered a heart attack and underwent double bypass surgery. My Kaiser medical plan is through the ACA and I have have a $6300 deductible plus a 40% copay. Today I received the final bill, which is $8361.73. I have already paid approximately $900 on credit cards while in the hospital and have lost 3 weeks worth of income during this time.

I’m turning to my community of family and friends to help me with the cost of this bill and lost income. As a self-employed person making a modest income, this bill is beyond my abilities. The income lost during my stay in the hospital (and since) has left me struggling to make ends meet. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
