Feeling bad today
For the first time this year, I'm starting to feel depressed. Because of my surgery and the Corona virus, I have only worked four and a half weeks this year. I tried to pay some of my medical bills, but I haven't had money. I got help with utilities and rent for a while. I got my stimulus check. I am getting help from legal aid with the credit card company that's suing me.
Now I have a bill from my family doctor for $660. I have no idea why it's that high. I saw her once, and it's never been more than $100 before. I got a notice from a debt collector for $1,200 from the ambulance that took me from the freestanding ER to the hospital. I can't even count the number of bills I have. I know they amount to at least $5,000.
I can't really pay anything because I haven't gotten any unemployment money yet. It's all in limbo. I can't pay them because every penny of my money is going to rent and food right now. I guess I will end up filing bankruptcy again. My lawyer who is helping with my credit card issues cannot help with that. I would need to find a different one.
But what really makes me mad about all this is that all the millionaires and billionaires don't care about the problems of people like me. They throw money around, but it never gets to people who really need it.
When I was in the hospital, my sister and I both tried to talk to someone about financial assistance, but they never got in contact with me. I played phone tag so many times. I don't know if it's too late to try. I can't physically go to their office, but maybe I can do something online. It's the only chance I have. I tried to raise money with online fundraisers, but I don't have enough friends to reach very far. I can never get any money that way. I tried to get help from friends in promoting my fundraiser pages, but it never works.
