I'm a Single Mom & After I Paid for My Brother's Funeral, I Could Not Pay My Medical Bill!

My Story:

I am a single mom of a 13-year-old boy who is very smart and loves music. I am the director of our local Boys & Girls Club and work part-time at our local library. My son is excited for a summer full of camp and going to the creek with his friends.

I make enough money to pay my bills, but a few months ago, I started having severe stomach pain. I have had to have ultrasounds and tests to figure out what was wrong, and it ended up being a severe case of diverticulitis. This was shortly after my brother passed away, so I was unable to pay off every one of my medical bills since I had just put my entire savings toward a proper funeral for my brother. I cut out our Netflix subscription and other non-vital expenses to try to help, but I could not pay the hospital bills fast enough. Now, I have a wage garnishment, and they take 26% of my check every pay period.

I am asking for help to pay off these medical bills, so I do not fall behind on other essential bills due to this garnishment. Your generosity will ensure my son and I can remain on track for the foreseeable future. We will be able to heal from my hospital stay and death of my brother. Thank you so much for anything you can give to our situation.
