After a Heart Attack, My Medical Bills Are Threatening My Stability, & I Need Help Please!

My Story:

I'm a single mother/grandmother, and I recently have fallen on hard times due to a heart attack that I suffered recently. It nearly took my life and left me in critical care for a while. The medical bills have piled up and are overwhelming to deal with right now. My biggest concern is that I'm on the verge of bankruptcy with no foreseeable way out without help.

I do work full-time, but that only covers my regular bills like rent and utilities. I don't have room for unexpected expenses, and on top of that, I haven't been able to work as much due to my heart attack. I'm on the verge of having to file for bankruptcy due to the medical bills because they're just too much for me to handle. I'm also worried that if they hit collections, I'll have my wages garnished, which will severely affect my income and my ability to pay my rent. I'm asking for help with the medical bills from my hospital stay because if I can pay towards those, I can avoid bankruptcy and financial ruin down the line.

Another major concern that I have right now is for my health. The stress of this situation is really starting to get to me, and I'm worried that it could cause another heart attack. My doctor says that there's a 40% chance I could have another heart attack in the first year after my first one, and he's concerned that the stress will only make it worse. This help would quite literally relieve a huge amount of dangerous stress from my life, and it will ensure that I don't have to file for bankruptcy. For both those reasons, I want to say thank you to everyone who helps me for your kindness and consideration.
