Need help with surgeries, medical bills & PTO

Donation protected
     I rarely ever ask for help because I always find a way but not this time. My medical bills are piling up and I have couple of procedures coming up with NO paid time off of work or any sick leave. My mind is so stressed out. My doctors office is requesting me to pay a portion of my deductible upfront to cover the surgery. Access won't help because I make a little over their income standards. Whatever that means. Ridiculous! 
   
   With everything that has been going on. I keep receiving doctor bills from literally 12 different doctors, 2 hospitals and 2 urgent care places all requesting payments. So trying to pay what I can leaves me helpless. 

   About 2 months ago I got sick with very bad breathing difficulties and chest pains, and visited 3 different hospitals within 2 weeks. First hospital I went to was Banner. They told me they couldn't find anything other than I had pleurisy. They gave me a breathing treatment and sent me home with no antibiotics or any kind of medication. They also said I was negative for covid. My bill was outrageous for them doing nothing. 3 days later my breathing is getting worse so I went to Northwest hospital. There they pulled my records and blood work results. I asked them to do another covid test. The nurse told the doctor she did it and I told him she did not. They did more x-rays and found that I had pneumonia. They gave me another breathing treatment. Prescribe me antibiotics, breathing inhalers and sent me home. A week later after finishing the antibiotics they prescribed me my breathing gotten so bad I had to leave work early to go to the hospital. This time I went to TMC because it was close to my home. There they ran more x-rays and more blood work and admitted me into the hospital for bronchitis, ammonia, a blood infection and humanmetavirus. 

   Although I did get better from that mess. I have developed more medical issues concerning my esophagus ulcer and Hiatal hernia. I will be having an endoscopy done next month along with a surgery. 

  With my current situation and the cost of inflation is ridiculous. With my job I don't have any paid time off or any sick leave. So taking time off of work to get myself better has me stressed out since there will be no income coming in to pay my bills, last few months medical bills, next month's surgeries and follow-up care.

   As much as I hate to ask for help but my situation isn't getting better on its own by deciding on what and what I cannot pay each payday. I've always been so independent and it's just so hard that I feel like I'm failing in life at the moment and that I'm being punished by God by making me sicker. 

  Sorry for the poor pitifully me story. I very rarely ever ask for help but with everything that is going on and my upcoming surgeries, I'm not sure how I'm going to do this. 
   This picture is from my health insurance of all the doctors and hospitals claims along with dates and how much is required for my payments not including TMC as you can see it's still processing.
