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. My insurance has fully kicked in and I don’t have to worry about any new bills or transportation costs. However, over the past months, I’ve racked up a LOT of credit card debt paying for medical transport to get me to my appointments along with stuff like buying groceries and paying bills. I also have a stack of past-due medical bills about an inch thick I really need to start making a dent in. Any help you can give so I can pay down these high interest cards will be a huge assistance.
