My name is Amy, and I am reaching out for help as I face overwhelming medical expenses after losing my insurance coverage for six months. Last year, I had to sell my home due to a disability caused by sepsis. My husband and I moved into a one-story mobile home with accessible bathrooms to accommodate my increased risk of falls from orthostatic hypotension. Unfortunately, the sale of our house was counted as an asset, making us ineligible for Medicaid, and Medicare coverage did not begin until December. During this gap, I was left without insurance while managing end stage renal disease, requiring dialysis three times a week.

The financial strain has been immense. My husband works as a retail manager and cares for me on his days off, but we are struggling to keep up with the mounting bills. I have past due payments to my nephrologist and several hospitals for extended stays due to a stroke, heart attack, and other complications. Despite attempts to resubmit claims, insurance has denied coverage, leaving us with significant hospital bills. These debts threaten our ability to keep our modest home and the vehicle I rely on for treatment.

Our greatest hope is for my complete healing, and we continue to believe in the power of prayer. We were married just four years ago and dream of enjoying the experiences most healthy newlyweds take for granted. This illness has stolen two years of our lives, and we are asking for help to relieve the burden of these medical bills so we can focus on our health and reclaim our quality of life. Any support, whether financial or through prayer and encouragement, would mean the world to us.
