I do not know where to start or whether anyone will actually read this but I will try my best to explaine my situation. My name is Angela and I am 26yrs old. My finance\'s name is Jontell. We bought our first house (a fixer-upper)in April of 2006. We new our budget would be tight but locked into a 2yr arm at 9.125% and had the closing costs paid by the seller. Our plan was to build our credit, refinance the house, pay the car off and I was to go back to school. It was all a part of the American Dream we wanted so badly, house, kids, dog. We wanted to get married in the fall of 2006. On 8-3-2006 my fiance severed his radial artery in this left wrist with a chisel at work. 5 days later I found out I was pregnant. We were elated and overjoyed. We had been trying for a year and a half and now it had finally happened. At about 6wks into the pregancy on 8-23-2006 I started bleeding and the doctors decided to do an ultrasound. What they found on the ultrasound was a baby with a heartbeat nestled in my left fallopian tube. I was sent for an emergency Laproscopic Salpingecty. The baby and tube were removed. The hospital bills were overwhelming being that we were on such a tight budget. The majority of the bills were stuck on credit cards with high interst rates as this was our only option. I was out of work for a mmonth and my finance worked 2 fulltime jobs to try and recover from the bils. This began to be too much on him physically( your body can only function on 3-4 hrs of sleep for so long) and after 3 months had to go back to only working one. In march of 2007 Jontell was laid off of work for 2 months. His unemployment was almost as much as his net pay from his job, because he had been working 2 fulltime jobs for a period, which helped but also hindered. If he were to find another job they would deduct the money from his unemployment and being that we only have one car he could not get to one that paid as much as his unemployment was paying. Things were looking brighter when he went back to work in April. We work together in a local window factory. I am one of the few women who work there. It is hard work but pays better then what I was making as a CNA. We were planning to marry again in the fall. Nothing special not even a wedding dress. I just wanted the papers saying legally Jontell was my husband, which I consider him already. In June of 2007 I started getting really sick with severe pain, and headaches. After several tests I was diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis, an autoimmune disease. I ended up on intermitent, FMLA, medical leave. I have a hard time getting up in the morning somedays and there is no way I am going to be able to stand on my feet for 10hrs or lift 75lbs on those days at work. On 8-20-2007 I went into the doctor because of some pelvic pain I was having. They did a simple pregnancy test and it came back possitive. I was shocked. I had labs done and was sent for an ultrsound right away. There was nothing in my uterus but they did find a donut shaped \"mass\" which they could not tell if it was in my right ovary or tube. The next day my lab results were in and it was decided the \"mass\" was a pregnancy and surgery was the only option due to the pain I was having. I went for my second Laproscopic Salpingectomy on 8-21-07. 2 babies gone, 2 tubes gone and 2 days short of exactly one yr from the first surgery. I am now not working and trying to recover from the surgery. I have been trying to sell items on on ebay with my own store to make some extra money but the profit is so small it does not cover my loss in pay from not working. My employer changed our medical coverage this year so we have a higher deductible and higher out of pocket maximum. I do not know how we are going to be able to pay the hospital, surgeon, 2 anesthesiologists, and the pathologist. So far I have gotten the bill from the surgeon and my part is $847.39. I do not even know if we are going to be able to pay our mortgage of $961.20 this month or the property taxes ($525) we have comming up that are due on October 15 2007. I do not know what to expect from this, I have never asked for help like this before. I guess I just pray someone out there will see this and find it in there heart to help with God\'s good grace. I want to thank you just for taking the time to read this and let you know any help would be appreciated.
