Hey, I am sorry for your situation. I hope you can get the help you need.
I don’t believe this to be a safe/proper way to crowdfund for this type of emergency. There seems to be a request for retroactive funding for your past work there as well, which has been surfaced before and seems unrelated. I would recommend other avenues to crowdfund.
If in the U.S., look at any useful resource below if helpful; all the best and pls take care.
- Hospital financial assistance. Nonprofit hospitals are federally required to have a financial assistance policy. Dollar For is a nonprofit that will help you apply for free and often gets bills wiped entirely.
- Medicaid, including retroactive coverage. Apply even if you assume you don’t qualify: healthcare.gov or your state Medicaid office.
- Federally Qualified Health Centers. Sliding-scale care regardless of insurance status, useful for pre-op and follow-up visits: findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov
- Free and charitable clinics. Locator at the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics
- Dial 211 or visit 211.org for local emergency assistance programs in your area.
If you’re outside the US, say where and people here may be able to point to equivalents.
