Down on our luck

I hate to even ask for help I truly do but, Jack has not been able to work in the past 2 months. I only get a small disability check. We have bills that we cant pay. An ambulance ride that we cant afford. We are filling out paperwork for charity care for Jack's 3 hospital stays at UAB. He does not have health insurance because we can not afford it. I guess that is how all this started.
Jack ran out of his inhaler and had a bad asthma flare up and ended up staying in the hospital for a week. He came home with his breathing under control but super weak and lost over 30lbs. Because he was not mobile he got 2 blood clots in his leg and a blood clot that traveled thru his heart into his lung. Which caused problems with his heart. He was in put in CICU at UAB. Took a week to get his heart rate to normal and to regulate the blood thinners. Jack came home on blood thinners and his breathing was getting worse again. We tried to get it under control but could not. I had to call an ambulance and they took him to UAB Highlands ER. He had a high temperature and his breathing was bad so they tested for covid. This time the test was positive and now he is in UAB covid wing.
Now I have covid and Jace and I are in quarantine for 14 days. Its like we cant catch a break.
