help

Medical practice in the US is so fucked up. Its so fucked up. I can’t have surgery until I pay my hospital bill in full. The quality of the rest of my life is completely dependent upon my having $1,502.66 on hand to pay for my estimated surgery cost. Tomorrow.

This coming directly after the specialist fee, which my insurance also only paid half of, leaving me to foot a $5,100 bill.

My savings are gone. I’ve had to ask family for help, and it is… It’s humiliating. And terrifying. I work retail. My savings, everything I managed to put away for the past year and a half (after my LAST life emergency destroyed my savings) is gone. Sure I’ll get paid next week and have $600 to my name. But that’s next week. And all of that is going to go back to paying back the people who have helped me in the past two weeks, minus rent. I’m fucking lucky I have a full time job and get PTO or else I would be completely and utterly fucked.

So yeah. That’s what’s up in my life right now. I… I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how this is supposed to work out. I’m about to have a major surgery and every moment leading up to it is just filled with paralyzing anxiety and a black cloud of revulsion for all of the begging I’ve had to do.

Hope is hard to come by. I’m trying. But I feel like sinking. And I am so afraid.

I am. So. So afraid.

Alright the panic has gotten monumentally worse so now I’m begging strangers.

I need $1,200 by tomorrow.

If there is anyone out there who can help AT ALL, my PayPal link is paypal.me/dslucas

I really hate putting this stuff on my art blog, but this is very serious and I’m beyond pride at this point. If people could at least share this, I’d appreciate it. I’m also more than happy to waive any commission prices for donations of $20 or more.

Thank you, everyone
