I'm a 70-year-old widow. Unfortunately, I am in need of a pacemaker for Bradycardia, which is a slow heart rate. At present, mine is from 30 to 45 bpm.

Medicare pays for all but $2,000.00. But living on a widow's pension is kind of hard.

The hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, will expect payments. But ATM, with my bills, it will be next to impossible. I try to keep my food bill at $150.00 per month. It's hard, but I can manage.

I wish I could work, but I was involved in an accident in 2016 that left me unable to work.

I'm quite embarrassed that I have to ask, but I figured out that the amount of money I am asking for is the bare minimum.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message.
