Hi, my name is Leah, and I’m 56 years old. I work two jobs to try to keep up with my living expenses and overwhelming medical bills.
I’ve been diagnosed with heart failure and Familial Hyperlipidemia, a genetic condition that causes extremely high cholesterol levels. Because of this, I have to undergo a procedure once a month to clean the cholesterol out of my blood. This life-saving treatment costs $6,000 every month.
On top of that, my heart condition has landed me in the emergency room multiple times. I’ve been hospitalized twice for a week each time. Despite working as much as I can, I just can’t keep up. I’m doing my best to pay what I can, but the bills keep growing—and I haven’t been able to pay any of them off.
I never imagined I’d be in this situation, but I’m reaching out because I need help. Any amount you can give will go directly toward my medical expenses. Your support means the world to me—thank you for taking the time to read my story.
