tl;dr because the other post is too long.
I’m V’s, a mixed-race, autistic trans woman. I run a youtube channel with my partner Sam.
Back in March I was hit by a car in a hit and run. It severed my PCL, tore my ACL, tore my meniscus, ruptured the gastroc muscles (the top half of the calf) and bruised my patellar tendon. It put me out of work for 7 weeks and racked up a bunch of medical bills because insurance requires me to pay a deductible that’s almost half of what I make in a year before they pay anything. On top of that I was required to reduce my hours at work from 40 to 25. I’ll always need a can to walk more than very short distances and anything longer than half a block I need a knee brace.
At this time I can no longer see the doctor because I have to pay for this stuff out of pocket and currently owe the hospital and my GP a combined total of around $18,000. I still need to see my GP to continue getting my anti-depressants and begin seeing a therapist so I can get back on my anxiety and ADHD meds. I would have by now but I can’t because I still have all these other unpaid bills with them.
Sam’s insurance was cut off as of yesterday because they fell below the required hours per quarter to receive benefits because they got sick, meaning we now also have to cover their testosterone, doctor’s visits and insulin out of pocket, which just the insulin alone is $600 a month.
We’re applying for state health insurance, but the process isn’t instant and might not be able to go through for at least a month.
With our current income we literally can’t cover this stuff and still pay rent, bills, and buy food. We’ve received a lot of help (especially from a specific person, whom I can never properly thank) and it’s helped us catch up on unpaid things from when I wasn’t working, but with everything we’re going to drown at this point. We desperately need help with this.
There’s a gofundme from back in March when i got hit as well as a bunch of other things.
I also have a personal Ko-fi since I started taking a lot of pictures and stuff.
