Help Ash Pay Bills Due to Chronic Illnesses

Hello everyone, my name is Ash Denham. I am a chronically ill and disabled 26 year old. I am asking for donations to go towards my continued accumulating debt due to my medical needs. 

My health rapidly declined at the end of 2019 and I was forced to quit my job and have been out of work since. I had initially hoped of getting my health back on track and to get back to working as soon as possible, however life had different plans.

 

My mobility and quality of life have been severely impacted by my illnesses (most notably POTS, hEDS, and Gastroparesis). Due to physical symptoms such as debilitating joint pain, subluxations, nausea, vomiting, heart rate and blood pressure instability, migraine and vertigo attacks, severe fatigue, and near fainting episodes— I am still unable to work.

 

Almost all of my time is spent going to medical appointments, ER visits, tests, procedures, and now going to physical therapy three times a week. There are several treatments and medications that I am unable to have access to due to financial burden. On top of it all, I now fully rely on mobility aids to get around the few places I do go to.

 

I am currently living with my mom who is on an extremely limited income and can barely support herself. I myself have two cats, Mina and Winnie, to support. Winnie has medical needs that require prescription food and vet visits. What little independence I have is due to a car that I rely heavily on to get to medical appointments and the rising gas prices are making it extremely difficult to keep up.

 

Ultimately I would like to pay down my credit card (4,500$) that I’ve used for medical bills, prescription medications, high-dose vitamins, mobility aids/braces, gas, car repairs, and vet appointments. **If I can pay down my credit card that will bring down the minimum monthly payment and interest which is what I’m struggling to pay. 

 

Unfortunately, I have exhausted all other options and would greatly appreciate any and all donations. If you don’t have the means to financially support, please share this with others. I’m honestly desperate to keep myself afloat right now and I just want my life back.

Thank you so so much for your kindness.
