Greg the Obscure, my dear, I’m so sorry to read what’s happening with you and your wife. I started surfing the web for sites that might contain information which might be of help to you. One I came across which looked very good and comprehensive was “Need Help Paying Bills”
www dot needhelppayingbills dot com (Please take out the word “dot” and replace with a period, and remove all spaces.)
Did you know there are federal and private charitable grants available for people facing large medical debts? This site will get you started looking at these (I had no idea!)
Also, good info about seeking rental assistance, working with debtors, how to reduce expenses, and many more ideas are on this site. Please do check it out.
May Saint Joseph, patron of husbands and fathers of families, intercede for you and may you receive every grace and blessing through his prayers.
Love and best wishes to you and yours,
