Help Us Overcome Medical and Debt Challenges

Donation protected
Hello. We are trying to raise funds to help with the numerous medical bills and high interest loans we have accumulated. We had been building up some debt over the past couple of years as we met with a number of specialists to help us figure out my wife's numerous health issues, including an auto-immune illness. To add to our financial strains, I was then laid off from my job this past November. Unfortunately, the following week, my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. We are thankful that she has made a full recovery from major surgery, and we have been fortunate to have some family members help us out after I was laid off. However, that could not completely replace a consistent paycheck. In addition, we then needed to pay COBRA in order to keep my previous employer's insurance coverage for my wife's treatment. For anyone who has needed to use COBRA, you know that is a very expensive option each month.
I was able to land a new job a few months later, but in that time, we have accumulated a lot of debt due to the lack of income as well as new and existing medical bills. We have also built up a great deal of credit card debt as we try to compensate for these bills and incredibly high interest rates. We are trying to just get back onto level ground, but we are having a hard time doing that until we can pay off these medical bills, loans and credit card debt. It has been difficult to navigate a way forward as we continue to see multiple specialists and accrue medical bills. Our hope is to be able to help pay this forward to other people struggling once we get ourselves stabilized. We know we are not unique and that many folks are struggling right now. We are just not sure what else to do to maintain our day to day living without getting rid of these debts and the high cost of healthcare. Thank you in advance if you are able to help!!
