17 Year Old Daughter Of Single Parent Seeks Grant Money For Debt Relief

I am 17 years old who has a single parent. My family and I have suffered so much. My mom had worked two jobs to support herself, my two siblings and me.

My mother has seen hard times. She escaped from Cambodia in her teenage years during the war that had been going on there.

We have no insurance whatsoever because we could never afford it and we have many bills that we need to pay, especially medical bills.

Last May I was really ill with kidney infections and had to go to the ER. I'm currently working trying to help pay it but I'm only 17 years old and I don't have that kind of money.

Neither does my mom. She had also been sent to the ER due to her weakness and kidney stone, plus really low blood. We have to pay for this too.

We are just looking for a way to get the medical bills covered since we hardly have any money and we're trying all we can.

With all our medical bills, we owe more than $12,000, which we don't have. We're looking for someone or some place that will help us cover this cost.

My mom does not have the energy to work a lot and is on medication. And I'm only 17 working as much as I can and going to school full time.

So if anyone can help please do so, my family has been going through a rough time and we still are. Thank you and God bless.
