Humbly seeking help

Donation protected

I'm a fairly private and humble person.  On November 2nd, 2018 my life took a drastic turn.  I had a major stroke and required emergency life saving surgery.  I had a whole in my artery from a car accident that happen 5 months prior.  I am extremely thankful to the wonderful doctors and nurses at Little Company of Mary that saved my life.  I not only survived my stroke, but I also came out of "Locked In" syndrome which is another astounding win.  

After spending 5 days in the ICU I was released from the hospital.  I spent the next 3.5 months working from home and teaching myself how to type so I could continue working remotely.  

On January 10th, I welcomed a beautiful little girl into the world.  I was happy and scared at the same time.  I love spending time with her and  watching her discover new things.  like waving and crawling.

On March 20th, I drove myself back to the hospital because I had some bleeding issues and thought it was because of the blood thinners I was prescribed.  I was admitted to the hospital for 3 days and had an acute  stroke and was also diagnosed with GIBs.  

After being in the hospital for 3 days, I was taken off the blood thinners and got the okay from my neurologist to go home.  I was cleared to fly    and work.  I was finally able to start feeling 'normal' again.  

At the end of April I moved to Hermosa Beach.  I was ready to  get back into work mode.  I knew I was going to have major medical bills pouring in and had to face reality.  

On May 10th, I went back to the ER for a TIA.    I had a mini stroke and  became disoriented and I was told this is part of the healing process.  

Thankfully, I was released 8 hours later and have to prepare mentally    that this is my life for the next 2 years.  

I'm not one to ask for help, however, I am overwhelmed by the hospital bills.  I have over $30,000 of hospital bills that I need to pay out of            pocket.  I'm happy insurance covered the $700,000+ of medical bills,      however, the hospital needs their money.   Fortunately,  I make decent money, but 3 strokes and having a baby has dried up my rainy day fund.  

I am looking for help to begin tackling the mound of medical bills.  I Know everyone has their own bills to pay, but I'm looking for a little help while I get back on my feet with work.
