Hey all, I HATE leaving people hanging and I figure even just linking this without much additional commentary is better than just awkwardly not knowing what to say over here:
I'm super concerned about him and everything is very much on pause right now.
Please be patient with us as we will both be hard to contact for a bit. Anything sent in this TBD limbo timeframe will be responded to in order when we are more capable.
Thank you!

The following is pushy, and overstepping, and for that I apologize...but it is a genuine plea.
If you are also American, and have something urgent you're concerned about but have been putting off because of cost - go in. Please.
This is hardly advertised, but almost every major hospital in the country has a financial aid program that will cover the entirety of your bill. To qualify, you just need to make less than a typical range of 2.5-4 TIMES the poverty limit for your household size. That's the majority of Americans! Most households don't make 4x their state's poverty limit, even 2.5 is pushing it for most at this point. "Household" is also a super flexible definition as it varies by state - even if you live with someone, you are likely to be considered a solo household unless you're married, which raises your odds of qualification.
If you reach out and/or dig deep on their website you will find it. If they have a member portal, it should be buried in the menu somewhere. Whether you already have insurance or not does not affect eligibility.
I've had multiple major surgeries in the past 4 years, and more are on the horizon... They've been covered thanks to this! Please take care of yourselves, and if you don't have someone to fret over you, please consider me to be that person right now. I care. Your life is important, and unfortunately this service is on the chopping block...so now is the time.
