SO MUCH PAIN. Please help me get surgery on my hand.

Hello,

First of all, I apologize for the disturbing photo but I didn't know how else to show you. Thank you so much for even clicking. A little over a week ago I smashed my hand jacking up a friends vehicle while he was stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire. My good friend has back problems so I volunteered to change the tire, of course since he couldn't do it himself easily. While I was jacking up the car the hydraulics failed in the jack holding up his vehicle causing the bar to violently slap my hand and then pin it to the highway momentarily. It could have been much worse but I fractured 2 metacarpals, and 2 proximal bones in my right hand. I am right handed so typing this has been a pain in itself!

       I do not have insurance at the moment and have been hit with a large ER bill and it was suggested that I have a surgery to repair the fractured bones in the lower part of my hand where it is swelling in the photo.

      I do not have the money to do this right now and I am also in so much pain right now, I have no clue what to do so I'm turning to you. Whoever out there that can help me, I appreciate you so much. My ER bill is just over $4600. This would open up my eligibility to get the surgery I badly need. I'm not sure how the medical system works but I was told they could not operate on my hand without valid insurance in this scenario while owing the ER bill and turned me away with nothing more than a wrapped splint and ibuprofen 800.

   So, like the site suggests, I am literally begging for money. I cannot work like this. My job requires my hands and now I can no longer even log hours. My fist will not close and I have been sitting with my hand elevated for 10 days now and I have no where else to turn. Please someone pay for this ER bill so I can get this surgery. I don't want my hand to atrophy and get to the point I can't have the surgery and my dominant hand will never get back to normal. Please. 

Thank you so much. To whoever donates I can even offer to pay you back in the coming months. Please. Anything at all would help.
