On: The cost of raising a child in America has soared ...

[meifun]

I was born at 5.5 months weighing just shy of 1.8 pounds. I was in a “toaster”, as my dad has put it, for many months. This is in New York.

My parents had no insurance and never paid the hospital anywhere close to the amount. But this was 1977 so cheaper than your bill.

Can HN help out? If you set up a GoFundMe account I will donate or I can send you a gift card to a grocery store of your choice.

Congratulations on your babies and time will fix the financial concerns. For now your babies are the most important thing.
