I'm sorry you got hit by such high medical expenses.

I remember taking a girl into a US hospital in Los Angeles, who felt ill, and they charged her two thousand dollars just to re-hydrate her. Healthcare costs in the US are insane.

I hope you get help to go to Steemfest. Steem needs you, and I'll cross my fingers that Steemfest sees that and helps you out.

After all, who else could the rest of us rely on to publish daily Steemfest updates, so we know what's going on! Good luck. :)
