PLEASE HELP ME PAY MY MEDICAL BILLS
https://www.gofundme.com/please-help-kylee-pay-her-medical-bills
My good friend, Jess, already made a post which you can read here. I didn’t want to ask for help for obvious reasons so Jess did for me. I have received over $4,000 through this gofundme and I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am for just that. However, because of recent and very unexpected changes, I went from thinking that I owed the hospital $7,000 to now owing them $42,000. So I’m making my own post to raise awareness to this because of how much I need any help that I can get.
Having to type this out is one of the hardest things that I’ve ever done, but I’m asking for help from the bottom of my heart.
My name is Kylee, I am 20 years old. In September of 2018, I traveled to St. Louis, MO with one of my best friends to see Taylor Swift on her reputation Stadium Tour. I could not attend as on the day before the concert, I was met with the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life. My appendix had burst inside of my body. I spent ten days in the hospital after I underwent a procedure to have my appendix removed laparoscopically. My appendix burst and was in the worst condition that my surgeon said she had ever seen. I did not get to leave the hospital until 10 days later because of the complications that came along with my surgery. The infection almost spread to my bloodstream which meant that I was borderline septic and because of this I was put on several antibiotics that did not seem to be working for me until they put a tube in my stomach. On top of the tube, I had to have a PICC line entered into my arm which went from my forearm all the way to my chest.
After I was released from the hospital, the PICC line and the tube in my stomach remained for almost a month. I met with a nurse every single week and my parents had to do nearly everything for me as I was on bed rest. This proved to be both mentally and physically taxing in a way that I had never experienced before. I felt absolutely helpless. I knew the bills were going to be astronomical but I was not anticipating $42,000. I was ordered bed rest and because of this, had to quit the job that I was with at the time which provided me benefits, but still did leave me with $42,000 to cover myself.
I am now at a job that provides me no benefits and a significantly lower paygrade. My state given insurance does not go back far enough to cover any of my medical expenses.On top of these medical expenses, I have my own bills to pay and my mother nor father can help with it due to the low income that they receive through social security and disability. I help pay for bills in my house, food, food for my pets, car insurance payments, my phone bill, gas, etc. I am $42,000 in debt with no way of knowing how I will pay for it.
I am a student and someone who rarely asks for help as it isn’t the easiest thing to do. I have dealt with financial hardship my entire life and I know I will get through this but this amount is unlike anything I’ve ever had to deal with. I desperately do not want to spend the rest of my life in debt. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me here or via my twitter.
Please, please, please reblog or donate if you can. As Jess said in her post, if you can’t donate much–or at all– don’t worry. Every little bit helps and I’m so grateful for the help that I’ve received so far. I will accept a penny, a dollar, anything. Even a simple reblog does more than you can even imagine. Again, please reblog or donate if you can. Thank you.
