Hernia Tags

I guess to begin I should say I'm not in a life or death situation but I really could use some help.

Since I graduated from university, studying music I have worked in customer service as there were not a lot of jobs available where I live, but I was laid off from my job 12 months ago and got behind with my rent by a couple of months, which landed me in £600 worth of debt on top of the debts I had accumulated as a student.

However I found a new job after a couple of months and everything seemed to be looking like it would work out but after a month of working there I had to take 2 days off sick and my new employer decided to terminate my employment. I went back to applying for jobs and selling my stuff to pawn shops to try and make ends meet, receiving benefits but although I could eat and keep a roof over my head I couldn't pay off my outstanding rent.

Then after a few months of looking for work I was helping my mum's friend out with some heavy lifting and helping with her garden work as she lives alone and ended up with a really bad inguinal hernia which left me incapacitated until I could get surgery, I had the surgery which fixed the problem but the surgeon advised me the hernia was a very large one and they had to make a 7 inch incision in order to be able to remove it which left me bedridden for a couple of weeks after.

Then the worst thing happened, I was offered an interview for my dream job a few days after my surgery, I explained my situation and told the employer how much I wanted this job but they said they were really sorry but they needed someone immediately and could not wait.

One of my friends told me about these websites where people help out people in bad money situations. So I guess I'm hoping someone can see fit to help me because I'm not doing too well resolving my problems alone.

My plan is to try and get as much of the £600 rent I owe so I can pay my rent off and re-locate as jobs are so scarce where I live.
I spoke to my landlord and asked if I could move out to re-locate and pay them back when I get a job but they said they're sorry but I need to pay up to date before I move out, so I'm stuck here with no job prospects, I can't just leave owing them this money and run away from the debt because I feel I am a moral and generally decent person and after the understanding and patience they have shown me in putting up with this situation for a year, running out on them would be a disgraceful thing to do to them.

Thank you for reading this and if you can help me sort myself out I will be eternally grateful to you

Hi. I am a low-income disabled woman in need of some financial assistance. In August 2009, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery in October 2009 to remove both breasts along with reconstructive surgery. In December of '09, I started 6 rounds of chemo followed by 35 radiation treatments. Although the bills were astronomical, I was struggling along trying to pay them. My only income is social security disability. My healing was progressing until I developed a hernia from the reconstruction surgery (they took part of my abdomen along with my abdominal muscles to construct my breasts).

In Nov.'10, I had surgery to repair the hernia as well as the second phase of reconstruction to my breasts. I was to only be in the hospital overnight but due to complications, I ended up hospitalized for 2 weeks. I returned home the day before Thanksgiving but still was not doing well. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, the paramedics were called to take me to the hospital again. It was determined that I was in acute renal failure due to a bowel obstruction. I was in ICU for a number of days. While in the hospital, I was placed on dialysis with the hope that my kidney functions would kick back in. After another two weeks in the hospital, I was released to go home.

On New Year's Day of 2011, I began feeling ill again and was taken to the ER. After several tests, I was admitted again and scheduled for a colonoscopy to determine the problem. It was discovered that a section of my colon was almost completely closed off. I was scheduled for surgery to correct this. I Thought they would just remove the bad section, sew me up, and I could go home in a couple of days. I woke up with a colostomy which I had until April of 2011.

All this time, the medical bills were steadily racking up. On top of all this, Ever since the chemo treatments, my teeth have been feeling like they are about to fall from my head. The chemo did damage while undergoing treatments.

I would really appreciate it if I could receive some assistance in paying these bills and getting my teeth fixed. I am on a fixed income and can barely make ends meet. I receive food donations from time to time and that helps me tremendously with groceries.

I never thought I would be on one of these sites. I worked very very hard to get to where I am today and now I am faced with losing it all.

We had a very difficult last couple of monthes, but manageable. I was sick for a month or so, nothing serious but enough to exhaust me. It all started with a minor yet very painful back injury. We, made a decision to purchase a friendlier mattress as my husband and I both work in intensive labor jobs and our bodies have taken quite a toll. It helps emmensely and although i was still sick, i was sleeping through the night. Recently married in August, we have about 10,000 in credit card debt, most of which is still paying for the wedding. Being suckers for animals, we took in an abandoned cat a couple monthes back.. she turned out to be pregant with behavioral issues. We kept 2 of the kittens, making 4 cats total, which is a huge adjustment. The damage to our apartment though is considerable. We figured by the time we decided to move we'd have the damages saved up as it is importnat to leave the apartment int he best shape possible. I knew we had stretched ourselves a little thin but I figured we'd be able to catch up in a couple monthes. After vet bills to care for the cats (a staggering $400) we were settling in to figure how to bring ourselves back on track. My husband's job puts him at risk for injury, as does mine. He was diagnosed with a hernia a week ago and meets with the surgeon to schedule the repair before it gets worse (it is already interfereing with his life as it is painful).

This morning my husband lost his job and I was put on notice. We cannot pay our bills. The timing is the perfect storm and we are desperaste.

We know we made poor decisions. This is too public a venue to truly explain How far we both have come in our lives, the obstacles we overcame to get here and how vehemently hard we worked to make our lives what they have been these last couple of years. There was a time I would not have dared to dream my life could be so blessed. And now, a few small mistakes could take it all away.

I am hoping to get a little money, any money really..to help offset our bills so that we have time to find another job. This website is my my desperate plea.
thank you

I have never like to ask for money, but I can seem to figure out another way. I will start by telling you a little bit about what is going on. After my husband and I were married his health only allowed him to hold down a job for short periods of time. In 2004, he had to be off for 8 months with carpal tunnel surgery for both hands. Shortly after, he had to have a hernia surgery. In 2007, he had to have neck fusion. The doctors told him that he would be able to return to work in 2 months. The surgery didn't go right and he never recovered properly. It took two years before he evenually got his disablity. In 2009, he began having problems walking. In 2010, he was diagnosed with Gilleon Barre Syndrom. He was temporarily parilized. He spent several months in a wheel chair. He had almost recovered and had learned to walk again when in September 2011, he had a bad 4 wheeler wreck. It broke most of his ribs, both collar bones and both shoulder blades, fractured a bone in his neck, broke bones in his hand and punctured both lungs. He is doing okay now except for the pain that he has to live with. I work part time, because I have to help care for him also. We have over 20 different hospital bills that I have to make payments on each month. We are surviving thanks to God. But we live in a single wide 1976 modile trailer. It has holes all the way through the bottom in the corners of the bedrooms. The walls are rotten and the wiring is bad. There is a short in the outside porch light and one of the lights in the kitchen and the hall light. We have to get another place to live. There is no way we can do it with all of the hospital bills that we have. We are falling further behind every month. We each month. I don't want a huge home, just something that my son won't be ashamed to bring friends home to. Anything you could give would be greatly appreciated. It will take a long time to get as much as I need, but I will keep you posted. Thanks so much for any thing you can do.

My husband was hit by a drunk off-duty EMT. He was thrown over 2 lanes of traffic and landed on a sidewalk. His ankle was broken, he fractured his ribs, he damaged 5 disca in his spine and neck, his intestines were twisted and he suffered an acute double-hernia and had to have surgery. He was out of work a while. His settlement was 10,000 dollars and did not even cover our medical bills and bills from lost work. We have an Autistic son who is not getting help he needs due to lack of insurance. Our car was reposessed after my husband lost his job as an auto mechanic due to his injuries. NOw he is able to return to work and he has a jiob offer but we have no car to get to work. I have been given a job but again, no car to get to work. My granddaughter needs us due to her parents being very unfit. We really need to finish the 2 unfinished bedrooms off with sheetrock and some kind of flooring so we can move her in with us. Our family is in desperate need.If you can help us with a car or anything please contact me at 610-703-1452.

We are needing help with rent mainly as we lost our house but were fortunete enough to be able to rent it. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I'm a single father with two boys. I work 60+ hours a week and live alone. I have over 10,000 dollars in student loans and 7,000 dollars in medical bills due to having surgery for an inguinal hernia. I am not eligible for help from the state. I live in a apartment with both of my boys and I get no help from the mother. By the time I pay for rent, energy bills, payments to student loans, medical bills, babysitter, and car insurance I have barely any money to put food on the table as is. My car is on it's last leg and I can't afford any more monthly payments to get a new one. I can't get a loan because my income to debt ratio is too high. I typically would not resort to this type of help but I'm struggling and am in need of financial assistance. Any donations would help my family in these tough times.

Much Appreciated,
Tim

Over the past 8 yrs.,I've had kidney failure,received a transplant and have been in and out of the hospital countless times.I have high blood pressure,high cholesterol,and diabetes because of the transplant.
Even though I have insurance my bills have kept piling up.Guess what?Insurance doesn't pay for everything.My wife had to keep taking off work to be with me everytime I was admitted to the hospital.
I also had to have 2 hernia surgeries.My ureter scarred twice,which meant more surgery.
During the time I was in dialysis,I had to work less hours to attend my appointments.
I need any help I can get to help pay for my escalating bills and to keep my house.Anything you can do will help.Thank You!!!

I am a positive person, hard working and would not be doing this unless I was at the end of my rope. If it was not for my 2 kitties and doggie, I would not be alive right now.

After 2 months of fighting to save our little girl, the fight has been lost.
Our other baby was suddenly ill too! She had a inguinal hernia and had 6" of her intestine was removed and the hernia. She went to rainbow bridge June 24, 2010.

These were not pets they were my kids. My heart is torn apart.

In that fight we have paid out of pocket over $3,000 and still owe our vet and the emerg. vet a total of $2,000 more.

This has set me very far behind on my bills. I am about to lose my car and my house!

I have pawned what I was able, stopped unnecessary bills, like my cell phone, tv, netflix, sold my tv, tv stand, coffee and end tables, had a garage sale, got a 2nd job. But it is not enough.

I know there are bad people who lie, I have been verified here on microgiving and I will send you the photos of my bills from the vet if you would like to see them.

Thank you to everyone's kind words, prayers and thoughts and those who have donated funds.

It is truly truly cherished.
