Gonna be honest, doing this doesn't feel very good. I never like asking for help, nonetheless asking for financial help. I never thought I was going to be one of the numbers and numbers of gofundme's for medical expenses. Yet here we are.
My younger sister back in March became seriously, seriously ill while living on campus. After finally bringing her to a local emergency room, it was revealed that she had urosepsis that developed from a severe kidney infection. She would've died that night if we didn't bring her in.
She spent over a week in the hospital, several of those days in the ICU fighting for her life. During that period of time, it was revealed that she might have heart issues as a result of late-term effects from her childhood cancer treatment. Now we have to find her a cardiologist to look further into this, as well.
We're now figuring out the final medical expenses and they're uh... very, very large bills. Did you know that sepsis is one of the most expensive emergency medical conditions to treat? <:)
We're looking at a possible goal of $10k right now, given anything that our insurance sorts out. We don't know if that's a definite though, as we didn't have local CA insurance at the time. We moved across the country only a number of months ago and are still figuring out switching over stuff like insurance. The actual medical bill costs may be much, much higher, but we're hoping for the best and going with $10k for now. We're hoping that's all we'll need.
Me and my family are no stranger to extremely high hospital bills. As I referenced, my sister was diagnosed with Leukemia at six years old back in 2008. The hospital bills were so absolutely enormous that it forced my family to file bankruptcy, lose our family business, our house, and our cars. Me and my sister are just starting out our adult lives in California and starting/finishing up college. I don't want to go through what we had experienced before all over again. I really don't.
Any donation and sharing around of this would literally mean the world and beyond to me. Having these expenses taken care of would take such a huge weight off my back, given the already enough stress of work, school, and my mental and physical health that I have to deal with daily. Thank you so much to anyone in advance who considers donating or boosting.
