Help Clark with medical supply expenses and bills

Donation protected

Hello! My name is Clark! 

I imagine if you’re reading this you probably already know that though. 

the past year was a bit of a doozy.  At the end of October 2020 I got very sick. I went to the hospital via ambulance with severe abdominal pain that had rendered me pretty immobile. I assumed and hoped it was some fluid buildup in my Fallopian tube, as that had happened before and the remedy was pretty quick and relatively painless. 

I ended up with a drain through my butt cheek and symptoms getting worse, so I got transferred to B and G, where they put another drain in the same butt cheek and another on my right side.  I had a pocket of e-coli infected fluid on and around my left ovary and a mysterious pocket of fluid around my liver. I was NPO for the majority of my stay and looked like a skeleton.  After about a week in the hospital they sent me home and I had one of the drains for a couple of weeks. 

I’m no stranger to unexplainable week long hospital stays, but this was definitely took the cake. I am usually back in action within a few weeks to a month after these kinds of things, but this one took well over 6 months and I’m still healing and trying to get my strength back. 

all of this coincided with SSI stopping my benefits and insurance. Stating if I needed them reinstated anytime in the following 18 months that they would do so. I have contacted them many times and am still getting crickets. 

so I’ve basically has zero income since November. I have recently gone back to work part time which is helping but my paychecks are pretty much immediately gone to bills food or over due payments that can’t wait any longer. 

my main financial and medical worry is my ostomy supplies. I have lived with an ostomy since 2017, I had one in 2015 too but the reversal surgery didn’t work so I went back to the bag. Since my insurance is inactive the cost of my ostomy supplies is through the roof. I need to order more soon and there is an outstanding balance of$1200 which I have to pay before they will process my order. 

if I don’t have these supplies I am quite literally shitting on myself and uh, that’s not an option.  The rest of the money goal isfor hospital and medical Bills, which I’ll get an itemized list put together for all of this. 

Any help is extremely appreciated!!
