Charity Bundles and Sales
Once again, I’m starting off with my GoFundMe for medical bills. From late October to mid November, I was hospitalized with kidney failure and infected wounds in my lower legs. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. I’ve been approved for Medicaid, which will help a lot with paying the medical bills I’ve racked up. I’ve managed to get my transportation covered so I’m no longer paying for that out of pocket, but I did put a lot of charges related to that on credit cards I now need to pay down as they’re maxed out. Every donation helps me pay down this crushing debt.
