Thanks for sharing.
Levi85, I'm not selling anything but I do have a suggestion that may or may not assist you with your financial/medical bill situation. First, let me give you a little background on myself. Up until 5 years ago, I was a government trained and tested tax preparer. I worked strictly as a volunteer for AARP.
Often, filers would come in and they'd be experiencing the same problems that you are, with your medical bills. One thing we offered was free info/advice on 'Obamacare'. Now, I'm not a fan of Obama, but many filers who couldn't afford medical insurance could get it for a very low annual premium through Obamacare. Sometimes even for free, depending on income.
So, I'd suggest you look into two options for your situation:
1. Research Obamacare and see if you qualify for affordable medical insurance: Find Health Insurance Plans & Quotes | HealthPlans.com
2. See if you and your family qualify for 'Medicaid Insurance' due to your financial situation: do i qualify for medicaid - Search (bing.com)
There may be resolutions to your problem, other than hocking your valuables.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to post about this situation.
I remember when there was a private fundraiser going around for one of Levi's mission statements (things that he said he would buy with the money and distribute to others.)
Another friend on CC and I were talking about it and discussing if/how much we would give. Being adopted myself, Levi's work with orphans and so forth was something dear to my heart. But I told my friend, for some reason, I felt uneasy with giving. My friend, however, felt moved to give and so we both asked that God would bless our decisions.
It's not because I didn't want to -- I sponsor orphans through my former adoption agency because of a deep-seeded need to give back, so I am a bit familiar with this type of aid. But in this case, I felt a discomfort that I couldn't shake.
I'm very thankful to learn about some other pieces to the story, though in the end, only God knows the full picture. I always wonder about situations like this. My friend was so enthusiastic about giving that at the time, I assumed it was my own greed and God would surely deal with me about it later.
I'm always torn in situations like that. Does God lead Christians in two different and opposite directions in situations like this? I would guess so, but it makes me nervous and feeling like I can't trust my own discernment, because I'm always worried that I'm wrong.
Thank you for letting people like me know that maybe there is a legitimate reason why we sometimes feel hesitant. I realize now that maybe there were some other issues going on, and/or maybe God was saying that whatever money Levi had received was enough for now.
Whatever the case, all I can do is trust God to sort it out, and ask that God work His will through Levi and his family, as well as the site administration.

Hey there! I totally understand how tough it can be when financial burdens start piling up. It's never easy to deal with medical expenses, especially without insurance coverage. I'll keep you and your wife in my thoughts and hope that things turn around for you soon. Remember, it's important to stay positive and keep pushing forward. Sometimes, unexpected blessings come our way when we least expect them. By the way, have you considered seeking professional advice from a Mortgage Broker in Wolverhampton? They might be able to provide some guidance on managing your finances and finding solutions tailored to your situation. Hang in there, my friend!
