Please help me cover bills and medical expenses

On September 17th, 2019, I began to experience intense pain in my left foot. I ended up going to the ER after about four days of this brutal pain, where I was almost immediately brought into emergent surgery by a team of vascular surgeons. It all happened so quickly, I wasn't really too sure what was happening. Within the next 24 hours, I learned that what I'd experienced was essentially arterial occlusion, which has not only caused some massive blood clotting in my leg/foot, but had also begun killing the tissue and muscles in my foot. This means that, as I sit in the hospital, still, on September 26th, almost 10 days after this all began, I'm still at risk for partial or full amputation. The best case scenario (no amputation) is still going to put me in a position that will require MONTHS of long-term, painful, grueling healing, physical therapy, and more.
This has all rendered me unable to work. I haven't been at work since 9/16. I have no idea if or when I'll be able to return. My husband and I live paycheck to paycheck, and removing almost one full half of our monthly income is going to hurt like heck.
We do have private insurance, but we will still have copays, coinsurance costs, deductibles, physical therapy, medical devices (a "knee scooter" which is used after foot surgery; a walker; a toilet seat lift; shower chair, and more), new clothing (this sounds silly, but I won't be able to fit my leg into 90% of the pants I currently own), et cetera.
I've never asked for money from people at this level or scale before, but at this point, I don't have much in the way of options, financial or otherwise, and every little bit helps a LOT.
Thank you for what you can do; giving anything will be immensely appreciated, but if you're unable to donate and just give this link a share, that has an affect as well.
I've created a link to a photo album that will show you a few pictures of the progression of my foot damage, and what I'm going through with that. Definitely NSFW. CW: Surgery, scars, blisters, gore
