Legally in the US but can't pay for knee surgery

[Ebonee]

Hi, my name is Vanessa and I live in Boulder, Colorado. I went to an specialist in orthopedics and she said that I need a knee surgery because I have a benign mass that is causing a lot of pain. I have an MRI and medical records, however, I don't have an insurance and I am not able to pay for the surgery or the bills after. I quoted the surgery and without an insurance it is around 8000 dollars. I would like to know if I am able to apply for financial support. I am not an American citizen but I am legally in the US. I will appreciate your response. Thanks a lot.

Hello my name is Matthew, and I'm 62yrs old I'm disabled on SSI and now need knee surgery.
I don't usually ask for help, but due to an unexpected heart surgery and bouts with COVID has placed in a situations I'm needing help. Sad a legal US citizen can't even get medical care or surgery these days.
My rent and just recently my check engine lite came on, as they say when it rains it pours. My car Cat Converters are bad in my car and will cause more damage to my car if I keep driving it.
I have no idea of who could help me out of this bad situation, with surgery for knee needed first and then other bills.
I'm praying you can provide me with the help I need.
