Help Rebecca recover! :)

Donation protected
Update: I just had my stitches removed and I found out my right lung collapsed in the hospital. No wonder my oxygen was at 40%.

Hey y’all! My name is Rebecca and I am humbly asking for help paying for my three surgeries. I had a video assisted thoracotomy to remove a lung nodule that detected activity on a radiotracer on a Pet Scan on December 15. I was in the hospital for 5 days. I am now at home recuperating. I have a hernia repair surgery on 1-31-24 to repair an umbilical and hialatal hernia. I am expected to have home health then to care for me. I also have an acid reflux surgery in March. I have a bad Medicare Advantage plan, and no longer qualify for Extra Help prescription drug coverage. I am starting a new job remotely, but it is not giving me the hours that I need. I cannot do any DoorDash, Instacart, or background extra acting while recuperating. I am also income restricted being on disability. I have used up all of my lifetime hospital stay days with Medicare. I have high hospital bills, credit card debt, student loan debt, and financial concerns because of my many illnesses. Eventually in the future I will need a brain shunt surgery. Hospital copays are $350/night, and my lifetime days ran out so I’ll have to pay full price for some days which can be up to $17k a night. I need $30 for gas every two weeks to get to appointments. I need $75/week for medicine and bandages. I need $100/wk for nutritional food. Doctor copays are $15/doctor per time. I have $4k+ in existing medical bills at Lexington Medical Center. I have $3k in existing student loan debt. I have $500 in medical debt at Prisma Health Richland hospital. I have $3k+ in credit card debt. I just want to be healthy and get out of this hole. I’m a hard worker and it pains me that I cannot work this off being income restricted. If you could please share this, donate, or send me your thoughts and prayers- I would appreciate it. Thank you to everyone who has helped on this gofundme, my mealtrain account, sent money via my bank apps, given me cash, shared these links, or prayed or kept me in your thoughts. I really appreciate it and I’m truly humbled. Every little bit helps!
