Drowning in medical debt.

Donation protected
Rob Brown, I've been a Union Electrician for 30 years, #D970523. I've also suffered from severe allergies my whole life. Per Doctors, I've developed an autoimmune disorder due to pharmaceutical steroid overdose that has resulted in joint degradation AKA steroid induced osteonecrosis.

I came to Oklahoma on a job that was closer to family in Kansas summer of 2023. Now I can't get out. I'm established with surgeons and physically unable to move 5th wheel.
Oct. 2023 I noticed discomfort in my right hip, by March 2024 the tissue was dead and the femoral head was dying which required a total replacement. May 2024 I returned to work and started having problems with both of my shoulders by June. A mass discovered in my neck delayed first shoulder replacement til April 2025, the second is scheduled to be replaced in August 2025.

I've been off work and unemployable since Sept 2024, before that from Jan 2024 to May 2024. I have insurance but all these surgeries are adding up. I've applied for disability as I am not expected to be able to return to the construction field with the restrictions placed upon me and at 54 I'm considered unretrainable. I've had to deplete my savings and withdraw from my retirement to keep from being homeless. With more surgeries in the future and no current or foreseeable income in the near future I find myself in a desperate situation and would appreciate any help available. God bless
