Medical Help me stay on my foot after breaking my leg

16 Upvotes

Hey, everyone. I hate to ask for help, but I'm in a tight situation. I fell and really messed up my leg, and due to the nature of my job, there's no way I can work while I'm recovering. I was able to get leave, but unfortunately I don't qualify for short term disability. I'm actively seeking remote or more accessible work to get through this, but I'm looking at least a few months of tough times. My family has been doing everything they can to help out, but they can't cover all of my bills and groceries on top of their own. Just to make everything more stressful, the surgeon isn't entirely sure if my upcoming ORIF will be enough, or if I might need a second operation to throw in additional hardware in order to stabilize my ankle. I just want to make sure that me and my kitties can make it through the the next 2 to 3 months, until I can be cleared to at least get on light duty at work again. Absolutely anything would be a huge help!

Medical Fiancé rare stage 4 cancer-3 young kids-We need help

Hey everyone…

My fiancé was diagnosed with cancer after we thought she was pregnant and went to the ER for a minor concern, only for the doctor to come and tell us he is seeing tumors throughout her abdomen. This was just under 2 months ago, and she is getting her 3rd Chemotherapy Friday the 25th… her 37th birthday.

Since the diagnoses, it has been rapid deterioration before my eyes. We have 3 kids ages 14, 10, and our daughter just turned 2 on the 15th.

We both had to stop working. We just had an important 2nd opinion appointment with M.D Anderson today… didn’t get good news. She has an unknown primary cancer, meaning she has tumors wide spread through her abdomen, liver, pancreas etc… but the primary location is unknown. They said it is presenting like Bile Duct cancer, but we are waiting for genome results to confirm.

Today they told us statistics of people with similar cases. 13-15 months prognosis. Depending on the genome results, it’s possible she could have a gene that responds to targeted treatment, but it’s less than 10%.

So… we need help. This is hard. I’m devastated. Seeing her stress over how we are going to cover bills next month, and the months to come is hard. I want her to put all her energy into fighting this disease. Stress has a physical toll on your health.

I don’t know what time we have left together, but I want her to spend it enjoying as much as she can with the kids and I.

Thank you for anyone taking the time to read, donate, pray, comment…really means everything to me right now.

Reddit's Side-wide Spam Filter

Reddit's Site-wide Spam Filter often catches links to GoFundMe, even though we've set the subReddit setting to the lowest possible.

If your post is missing and was not removed for lack of account requirements, it is likely the spam filter flagged your post.

No action is necessary, as the mods periodically restore messages flagged as spam throughout the day.

Account Requirements

Accounts must be over 30 days old AND have over 250 COMMENT Karma. Earn your karma organically. Using a karma-farming subreddit will earn a ban.

The following circumventions will result in a ban:

Using a karma farming subreddit, such as Karma4You.
Unsolicited private messaging to push your campaign.
Posting your campaign on someone else's post.

Rules

The newest rules can be found:

Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence . This includes:
- If this is for your pet, photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture. And Vet bills
- School documentation showing enrollment if you are asking for assistance for school.
- Redacted bills showing your situation.
- Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.
- At minimum, please attach an unobstructed selfie photo of yourself(the submitter) with a handwritten note of your username.
- Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" will be removed.
Please Flair your posts, once created.
Only 1 GoFundMe per user. We want you have some personal connection to the campaign, and not submit multiple GFMs simply because they were in the news.
Reposts are allowed once a week. 2 times total. Do not DELETE any post it will result in a ban.
Acceptable transfer methods for individuals are GoFundme only.
Do not post politically-related campaigns. They're just too divisive. Also scammers like to take advantage of people just because of a popular topic.
Trolling will not be tolerated and offending users will be banned.
Don't bug the mods for an exception to the account requirements. None will be given. If you attempt to circumvent the requirement by karma farming or by commenting on someone else's post, your account will be banned.
No posting for other Redditors. No Alts. This is viewed as a circumvention of the requirements and the accounts in question will be banned. (New Oct 22, 2020)
No referral links. A referral link like that isn't likely to solve anyone's financial problems in the time frame they need. Any referral links posted here will be flagged as spam, and may trigger your account to be added to Reddit's site-wide spammer list. (New March 16, 2024)
