Help me pay for my medication
Hello, my name is Christina. I am currently on a self-quarantine leave from my workplace and have been saving my money to pay for rent and bills. Due to the fact that I'm not currently working,I unfortunately have no insurance. I paid a fee of 166 dollars last November, with the understanding that it would give me only two weeks of coverage during which I could take care of a medical appointment. Unfortunately, I either misunderstood or was misinformed how this coverage works and the costs accumulated to 330$ over a few weeks (without my knowledge) and if I attempted to reactivate my insurance now, I would be charged 330$ on top of the up front 166 $ fee and I can't pay that without using my the money set aside for my rent and bills.
Because of this, I am choosing to go without insurance until I am working again, because not only can I not afford it but am afraid that if I pay again I will end up burdened with an even larger back-debt to the insurance company. The problem with this is that I am running low on my two medications, Estradiol and Spironolactone (especially the Estradiol), which I am taking as hormone replacement therapy for my gender transition. The last time I tried to get a medicine refill at a local pharmacy without insurance they wanted approximately 600 dollars for it, which I do not have to spare. Thus, I am asking for your help with raising the money I need to get another prescription refill. Whatever you can donate, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.
